Forgetfulness is age-related for some of us.

The rest of us have been forgetting for quite some time.

I have always thought that the way forgetfulness would happen would be sliding slowly into forgetting who I am and where I am. I am not so sure anymore.

I know that there are many kinds of dementia and we all will develop it if we are lucky enough to live that long. The problem is that we don’t go from being sharp and on top of things one day to being completely out of it the next. At least as long as we don’t drop on our heads.

One of the things that I find amusing is that we all start at a different mark of sharpness. For example, my husband is one of those left-brain types. There is a place for everything and everything has its place.

I am going to be 70 in about 1 month and I am still trying to find things because I want to see if there is a better place to put them.

My husband is also the type that feels that if you are going to do something you should try your best every single time. That is so tiring.

Math Classes

Now in my defense, I usually do try my best but I also know my limits. As an example, take my old math classes. Please.
