It's really annoying when I'm playing Jeopardy and I forget a name or word I've always known. Like Jane Austen, or penultimate.

I still have the word out of reach issue, but rarely compared to a couple years ago. After I had the seizure and they had me on the awful meds, it was bad. Both with and without meds. For a couple years I have really made an effort to do the right things for my fragile brain and at this point I can see that it helped.

Of course one of the biggees for me is getting my proper sleep, and oops, way past my bedtime. Best get on that.

That's both charming and worrisome.

Considering it's been going on for ten years, and doesn't seem to be getting any worse, I'm not too worried.

HOLD UP! I did NOT agree to this!

I have the thing with losing the word I need and I don't think it's medication causing it. Who knows?!

Looks like you'll be sitting at the quiet table with me and Nora, so, um, at least there will be nachos?

Okay, and as Laura reminds me, I should probably get to bed soon and let those neurons repair themselves.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with word memory problems. I've been worried spitless for a while, now, because my most recent shrink took me one of the meds I used to be on because she said it caused dementia in older adults. Now all I can think is - how much older and was the amount of time I was on it significant? I'm a little freaked at this point.

I am "stuck" with Penny on my lap. She's been here since I called Geico to cancel my insurance and I can't get up. Mostly because I feel bad for the upcoming days.

The gieco lady tried to sign me up for some policy "to save me money" while I don't have a car but keep something and she ran the numbers and was "oh.oh.uh this will actually cost you more money so that's not a good idea". Yes lady my car isn't worth much. And then she said when I got a car I could keep my policy number and something else as long as I got the car within a time frame. So... I'm not sure why she was trying to sell me something.

In other news cleaning out my glove compartment I found a small pin that said something about Homoerotic Context, I can't remember, I can't go look (cat on the lap syndrome) but I kept that and I found a few other things that were stashed away in there.

So I went to the doctor's office to get my flu shot and also talked to her about my 5 day headache. She re-upped my Vicodin and added Cyclobenzaprine. And suggested I get massage therapy since my upper shoulders are so tight.

I used to be good about getting monthly massages but I haven't had one since I moved. I need to find a place that does actual therapeutic massages.

Then when I was at the pharmacy dropping off the scrips, my vision started blurring and crossing, sounds got too loud and hello migraine. FML.

I think I'm going to be really decadent and get a massage when I'm in Vegas in February, at the casino spa. Maybe they'll do better than in a hole-in-the-wall "day spa/oxygen bar" in a middling town in Utah.

Connie, that is my current dilemma. I want an actual therapist who can do therapeutic massage, not a fluffy massage. So, no Massage Envy. More research than my brain allows at the moment.

Suzi, I can ask my brother if he's found anyone yet. Although they live up in Superior and he goes to school in Boulder, so he may have found a massage therapist up there. But I'll check, because I know he needed to find one.
