Is it just me, or are other people my age having trouble staying focused on one thing? Did my Mom forget to tell me when you get older that, even if you didn’t have it before, you suddenly develop Attention Deficit Disorder? Because that wasn’t an affliction that I had to deal with in the past, but all of a sudden, I find myself flitting from one topic to the next and not remembering how I got to where I ended up or where I was going with the story in the first place. You still with me? I will wait while you go back and re-read that last sentence. That is something that I have trouble with, too. Sometimes I can read a whole paragraph or a whole page even, and I cannot remember a single word that I have read. What the fvck!? (Why isn’t there a cents sign on keyboards anymore? ;))

Anyway, I will find myself looking for something on the internet and I will get an email or something and I go off to check the email and something in the email reminds me that I have to find some piece of information for someone because I told them I would email them with it and then I start that email and while I am looking for the link I told them I would get them, I remember that I had to make a birthday list for my mother-in-law and while I am making the birthday list for my mother-in-law, I remember that it is my brother’s birthday and so I decide to call him on the phone to tell him happy birthday, but I have to find his number first and…Well, you get the idea. It is sort of like the If You Give A Mouse A Cookie book.

Where was I going with all this? Oh yeah. I am getting old. And forgetful.
