October

There are constant reminders of senior moments - the difficulty in finding a word, I can often get the letter the missing word or name begins with but can't recall the actual word I'm after.
Going upstairs and not knowing why I'm there - missing appointments despite having calendars on my phone, computer and on the wall in the kitchen. I can forget to look at all 3.
I am in constant negotiations with my body over my failing health. Trouble now is that the body holds nearly all the trump cards and I'm left trying my hardest to please him - healthy foods, exercise etc. but usually it's never good enough and the problem continues to trouble me.

May 27

My short memory is getting worse. I have a thought or an idea but if I don't act immediately on it the thought vanishes. It's like I've lost a parking space somewhere in my brain where you can put a thought and leave it for a minute or two until there's a break in the conversation where you can recall it and enter with it into the conversation fray.
