As I have written before my Alzheimers problem is more
emotional than cognitive. Anxiety link.
Yesterday after a nice drive back from a great trip with family to
Avon, Colorado, my wife and I were having a quiet first day home.
She asked me to look up on Amazon to buy special masks for COVID as we are flying to Florida soon.
I found it but there was a bewilding abundance of choices that I asked her to decide which mask.
She did and than asked me how to order it on Amazon.
I ordered it for our Florida address.
She was looking over my shoulder and among the list of potential addresses she saw a woman named Julie. She thought it was a woman from a long time ago. I said I didn't think so but could not be sure who it was on the spur of the moment. I can't think that fast anymore. She asked me to erase it. Again I said it would not be that easy for. She got extremely angry with. It was so very distrising for me.
The next moring my mood was still not great when a friend asked to get involved in a Twitter controversy. He could not leave me a clear thread trail of his position.
I finally had to call him to get it staight.
It exhausted me and made me very distressed again.
After a Manhattan coctail, wine and watching Lost in Space, I finally gained my equanimity.
