The year prior to the actual surgery I was making mistakes at work and attributing it to menopause and "mush" brain - these things happen at this stage of life. <br /><br />Because of the memory problems, I had a complete neuropsychological evaluation only to discover no physical problems to which I could attribute the memory loss. Thus - pure STRESS was the culprit.<br /><br />Who knew?<br /><br />I have since retired from a tension-filled workplace and found that I am not quite the "ditz" I envisioned myself to be.<br /><br />YOU have a lot on your plate! And - you are so right - your hard drive is full.

Somehow in your 40s, you go from how you've looked since your 20s, to how you are going to look until you die. I don't plan to age gracefully. I've got my sister to give me all sorts of stuff to STOP THE CLOCK. <br /><br />I love the cactus garden.

We have to get together soon! Plus we miss your adorable children!<br /><br />Tomorrow is a pick up day at the warehouse. We will be filling orders for some of the Orphanages we support. Then... we have a field trip planned. We're off to an Orphanage which is having a grand opening celebration for the new infant wing that is being opened. So we'll be packing up Big Red with food and surprising them with a unexpected food delivery. How "KEWL" is that? Wanna go? We'd love to have you join us... Don't worry about food, we can always get greasy cold Churros at the border. Just bring your warm heart, lots of smiles and your camera!<br /><br />Debra ((*.*))<br />HilariousGivers.OrgDebrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09261734253792633076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24756113.post-34244117923551221282010-02-27T04:38:37.962-06:002010-02-27T04:38:37.962-06:00Yes.
