Jeez! That's even worse. Hard to tell if I do or not until I let it grow

Somehow I had pictured you with a full head of hair. So goes the
imagination. :-) I'm mostly bald now, but I keep it shaved.

You are having so much fun with this varoety of experience that I

Age for Christmas 2 years ago. I used it every day for a year and these
symptoms went away. (I don't recall ever being quite as vague as you,
but similar forgetfulness happened.) I still occasionally do the
exercises, but overall when testing I find I haven't lost much ground at
all. And I don't find myself in the garden looking for kitchen tools,

This is a book, yes? It sounds like it was helpful to you and I could use
some of that help!

It is a Japanese program you use on a Nintendo DS to exercise your brain.
It's interactive, so the tests do not resemble the exercises, but reflect
gains or losses. It's sorta fun.

Just don't let yourself get off track. Don't try to overlap, even if
it makes you feel less productive. You'll get more done in the end.

Friend set water and sugar on to boil for hummingbird feeder and left
the HOUSE for 2 hours.
(I have given her a clip on the belt type timer since that episode.)
The pan was reduced to a glob of metal, it ruined her overhead
microwave oven - cud've easily burned the house down. Fortunately,
she was about to remodel the kitchen so at least there was no great
loss.

I set timers now for ANYthing on or in the stove. And I never leave
the room if something is on high to boil.

I need a cure, too, I just lapped the supermarket 3 times filling
my list. Even though it's a store I'm not too familiar with, I still
should have been more focused on what I was looking for. I'm
easily distracted.

Take a few minutes to make up an aisle guide to your store if your
store doesn't already provide one. Keep it handy near your grocery
list. Then you can make up your list sort of in the order you expect
to find the stuff.

Long story there, as usual. Had to get head shaved last year for medical
reasons. Hair didn't grow out very well. Keeping it cropped/shaved until
it looks more normal. Bandannas are cheap and cover a multitude of sins
(or bad haircuts).

I think you can buy it for a computer, too, but the little DS fits in my
purse so I can use it wherever I have to wait, which is lots of places in
Italy. You can buy the DS used and reconditioned, too. Not expensive.

The cure, unfortunately, is caffeine. Good luck getting any.
