Mrs Gramps had a senior moment this weekend. We had gone to eat with some friends at a restaurant we often go to, so much so, Mrs Gramps has her phone number listed where we can deduct points earned from previous visits. When the waitress asked for Mrs Gramps number, Mrs Gramps drew a blank on the last four numbers. Embarrassing for her. Concerning for me.
I do that now and again, with phone and SS number. If I wait a minute, it comes back. I do not see it as a cause for worry, just an older brain searching through a lifetime of info.
Both our current phone number and post code have elements that are similar to our old ones, so I have to think about what I am actually saying. If my mind is elsewhere and I am giving the number 'on autopilot' there is a chance I will give the wrong one.
Nowadays I am usually right about the phone, as I always answer the house phone by saying the number and it is becoming ingrained. I do not know what my mobile number is, apart from the last 3 digits.
I have no idea why I have, a couple of times in recent years written my signature using my maiden name. I have been married to Mr RoS for 52 years!
