Brain Fog
I'm noticing that it's getting harder and harder for me to effectively cogitate sometimes, or that my mind will come up with the most ridiculous things in place of what I actually want to say or am actually seeing/thinking.
For example, I've just answered a question on another comm about GCSE results. Now, it's only been 9 years since my GCSEs, which isn't that far in the past, yet it took me a full two minutes, as well as counting the seperate subjects out on my fingers, to work out how many I actually got.
Another example: in our bathroom at the moment is one of Nick's old history magazines. One of the cover stories is an article about a member of Richard III's retinue. I've seen this magazine, and the cover, dozens of times, yet every time I see it my mind rearranges the letters in the last word, so that "Blondel: The Lionheart's Minstrel" becomes "Blondel: The Lionheart's Mistress" whenever I look at it (which would be an interesting take on the subject, certainly...).
Eventually I fear I'll have to start walking around with a set of cue cards, reminding me about important things like name and address...
