I don’t know what is going on with my neurons right now but
I swear they have gone on strike. It’s like they decide, when it’s
convenient for them, not to fire every once and awhile leaving me mid
conversation with no thoughts at all. Then, hours later they decide to
fire up again and I recall what it was I was trying to say/remember. This
is not good for the wit and charm I usually dispel. How am I to appear to
be witty and smart if my brain decides to forget the simplest things.
Like the name of the tv show that Valerie Bertinelli was in back in the
day? That was a two day layover whereupon I had to use The Google to
figure it out (One Day at a Time). Is my brain becoming so used to my
heavy dependence on The Google that it has just given up trying? Is it
age? Early signs of dementia? I choose to think that I have way to
many random, useless tidbits floating around that my brain has simply stopped
trying! I better start eating good, healthy brain food and doing brain
exercises. Of course, I am going to first have to Google that!
(Side Bar - Just read article in Scientific American the other day that quoted studies on alcohol affecting your brain cells (ie: unceremoniously killing them) . As much as I heartily dispute the findings of these studies, I am now wondering if I should add "reduce alcohol intake" to the new brain health plan. Or not.....)
