Well, Mark has come and gone without seeming to have been home at all over the last six weeks. Sure hope things improve when he gets off this time. (I hope he actually DOES get off this time!!!)
But on the plus side, the maid cleaned yesterday and with Mark gone and no one visiting, the place should remain pristine for most of the next two weeks (except for dog hair, of course -- it IS essentially spring down here now).
AND, even better -- the attorney who's handling that state lawsuit I was researching decided to hand over all the research I did for him to a guy more directly involved in the case and let him go through all the same research so that he can put him on the stand for questioning and he will be able to say HE did the research. Hey, that works. He WILL, in fact, have done it -- even if he wasn't the first one to do it. That means I will NOT have to submit a signed declaration in the case and take the chance that I might be called to the stand. Hey! I can barely remember what I had for breakfast some days, let alone all the minuscule details of that research I did! What a relief!
And speaking of not remembering . . . I put my credit card and driver's license in my pocket the other day when I went in to that gun show so I wouldn't have to carry my purse. I used them while I was there and I remember getting them back from the dealer, but what I did with them after I got back to the truck I have NO idea. I haven't seen the things since! The credit card is no problem. I had ordered myself a new card with my picture on it and it arrived in the mail last weekend. But now it looks like I'm going to have to go get a new driver's license. Sigh. I'm telling you, if I live the 20 or 30 years more that I expect to live, can you IMAGINE what a pain it's going to be to keep track of things down the road at this rate? I'm definitely going to have to figure out a way SOON to stay on top of things better than I am now. The only reassuring thing is what they told me at the Neuro Medical Center last year when I went in for testing (this memory thing was scaring me to death!). They said if you can't remember a word or name or where you put something - that's age. If you can't remember what the word MEANS or who someone IS or what an object is FOR - now THAT's Alzheimer's. I remind myself of that continuously!! It's very reassuring, believe me!
I got a life membership at the time in LUMOSITY.COM where you play games that improve various specific mental processes. Check it out. It really does work. But I probably shouldn't have gotten a lifetime membership instead of a short one. If my membership were limited I would no doubt spend a lot more time on there. As it is, I'm currently addicted to that Bubble Town game that is absolutely NO help with memory or anything else! So I spend my spare time playing that instead of going to the Lumosity site and playing THEIR productive games. What can I say?
