What was I saying...
I always have great ideas for new posts on this new blog thing that I've really been getting into lately, except the only times I can remember them is when I don't have access to the internet. Quite the dilemma I know...
So, I started thinking to myself...why don't I just write down the general ideas immediately after I think of them, that way there won't be any missed knowledge that is not being shared...BRILLIANT! This will also help me on the days I really want to expand on something, but have no access to the internet too. Then I really starting thinking about this new plan of attack, and what if I forget to get a pen, or a piece of paper, or forget to write down the idea in the first place??? My mind is flooded with the different things I'm going to have to remember to carry with me frequently, and before I know it...I'm back to the original problem.
So I search Yahoo under keyword Forgetfullness. I scroll through FinderzKeyperz (A great product if you're like my sister, and can't ever remember her keys), an alzheimers website (which I bookmarked for future reference), I even try The forgetfull quiz, and finally I find the answer in a great article entitled Forgetfullness, it's not always what you think. Could it be??? No way...I HAVE Dementia!!
I'm sure I'll learn to deal with these newly explained "changes in brain function", but now I realize how bad it sucks, and that there's actually a medical term for it. That's when you know you have something wrong with you...when it's already been diagnosed and titled. And it's only going to get worse...Grrrrrrrreat.
While I go start making lists of all the things I love in life before I forget it all, I'll leave you with this quote from the Greek tragic poet, Aeschylus..."Memory is the mother of all wisdom." What was I saying...oh yeah...

I carry a small notepad with me at all times for exactly this reason...and because I'm a dork writer. A napkin, paper towel or tissue works well, too :)

i like to employ homeless people for this service...just give them $10 and have them follow you around. Be sure to talk loud enough so they can hear you. When you get ready to write, simply ask your staff, "what was i talking about earlier?" they can then reply, "how much you wanted a drink and a donut."
