Beat down & stumbling -- loaded up & shuffling

Ya ever have those days (or weeks, in MY case) where you find yourself making the stupidest mistakes (i.e. walking into a room & forgetting WHY or looking for your eyeglasses & they're on your HEAD) and wonder HTF did this middle-aged crapola creep up on you ?! In your tender teenage years, you watched your parents and swore you'd NEVER turn out like them. Irony is such a bite in the ass ! I find my formidable mother spewing Momalities from MY mouth with ever increasing frequency. S-C-A-R-Y. Does this mark the beginning of the "Sometimer's" portion of my life ?!

Sometimer's isn't to be confused with Alzheimers but close enough for it to make one go WTF ?! Like in sometimes you remember & sometimes you have no clue. Quite frankly, I know it's just part of the aging process, but @ 48 yrs young I DIDN'T expect it to show up now. I figured I had at least 15-20 yrs to go before I became the object of sniggering (& thankfully have just enough hearing loss to not hear it) from my successors.

This somehow doesn't seem quite fair. My body maybe slowing & creaking more, but my MIND ?! I've always thought my mind to be at least 20 yrs junior to my body. What if I have them REVERSED & my mind will be the consistency of oatmeal long before my body ceases to perform even the most rudimentary functions. Can we say Grampers ?

Then again, I figure it's only things coming full circle -- you come into the world drooling & diapered and most likely go out the same way. Like I said irony is a big ol' bite in the ass.

take care .... stay kool .... be content MK
