Senior Moment

A lot of this kind of stuff just might be due to the lack of adequate sleep. You'd be amazed at the difference in your ability to perform if you've slept a good eight hours versus even only five! (Check out the research on this.)

Yeah well that's easier said than done when you get older too. It's been at least a year since I've managed to sleep eight hours in a single stretch. I manage to get by with all few hours at night and afternoon naps but I'm usually up and scratching around as early as 3AM and can't remember sleeping anywhere past 6AM unless I was up earlier at 3 or 4.

Yep, I got up about a quarter to 4 this morning; can't even remember the last time I stayed in bed past 5 a.m. But instead of naps, I just go to bed early each evening, due to boredom. Not much on the boob tube I care to stay up to watch, so I go to bed early, usually just after 7 p.m. I usually only get up once during the night, but also usually wake up, look at the clock, turn over and try to go back to sleep at least 3 or 4 times each night.

I blame most all of my memory problems on my youth. I tested to many 9 volt batteries with my tongue. I think I fried some brain circuits. :laughing:

Well I just recovered from a Senior Weekend! I lost my truck keys on Friday... today they showed up inside my underwear in the laundry basket.
:confused3:

Best part I found them before the better half. I have a tendency to suggest that she has something to do with me misplacing things as she is always sweet in picking up after me. Now I have to make up a good reason why/how they got there.

Yep, that's about the way it goes. The boob tube is good for one thing and that's getting me to sleep. Sometimes I get up and turn it on at about 2 or so, usually about 15min later I'm gone again. If it's anytime after 4:30, I'll give up, get up and make the coffee.

My dad had about 4 or 5 dime novels that he kept around. We'd ask him if he'd like some more. He'd say; "nah, I'll just re-read these - by the time I get to the end of one, I've completely forgotten the previous one". And so he did - over and over and over!
