[Sca-cooks] Old? Brain fade...

[Glenda Robinson]

Lainie,

36 is a great age to be! Old enough to know better, but still young enough
to go ahead and do it anyway.

I'm the same with blanks - I'm recovering from CFS after getting it 10 years
ago. Have been recovering slowly for a few years now. I've come to find it's
REALLY annoying when you're half-way through a sentence, stop to think of
the right word, and dear husband or children finish the sentence, making it
nothing like what you were saying in the first place! I now shout at them to
stop and let me finish, as asking nicely hasn't worked. Thankfully I don't
blank totally as much anymore.

Keep trying! I'm sure there's a job for you out there.

Glenda.
