The Start...

THE START

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...
