This is where I have actually had an opportunity to start documenting myself. Why, their are many reasons I've decided to do this and if I remember to document them, I'll do that in time. I'll start off today with the short-term memory issues. They are not getting better as time marches on. It has become a problem at times, more often than not. Why not share with others what this kind of handicap is all about. Maybe I might meet someone with similar issues and we can share, and whatever I share, might help someone online dealing with it. I know I am not alone with this situation. It feels like sometimes, but I know I'm not. So, here it goes... [0945] Yesterday started alright, with a trip down south for B's 2nd b-day party at East Portal Park. My old stomping grounds. Was neat to see, but stirred up some old negative memories from Jr. High. That's o.k., all over now... On the way home, the dreaded once a month "u r going 2 sleep the rest of the day 'n nite" M.S. monster appeared. So, off to the lazy-boy I planted my ass for the duration of the day. [Can't stand it] Still got up and bbq dinner for my bride. She cooked the "inside" foods while I took care of the meat outside. That's just one of the great "teamwork" type things we do together well. I don't recall how it started, but it was around the first years of our marriage. 'Cause I do recall us doing it in the first home we rented on G street. Anyway, ate what I could, back to the chair, told my wife "nite-nite" when she went to bed, back to the chair. As usual, up every two hours for a stretch till 0500 which is the waking hour for me. Woke up without the "u r going 2 sleep" monster, which made me feel a little better, been taking care of "home-do's" the duration of the morning, and here I am, journaling away... So will see what the rest of this day brings. If I remember, [ha-ha], I'll be back to doc the rest of the day. Plan on making this an evening thing to-do, so will take it from there... Later... mgr
