Numb and Dumber

I'm pretty sure my meds are making me numb.

Not numb to emotions like some people may think drugs cause, because I have a lot of emotions. Lots.

Just kind of oblivious. Not uninformed, but unfazed by my surroundings.  Not really paying attention to the way I'm interacting with my surroundings, moreso than usual.  I almost picked my nose in public the other day. It's come to this. A whole big basket of DUH.

That leads to feeling dumber. I have not felt so stupid in a long time as when I played Draw Something on my iPhone and someone drew an "X" on a box and then wrote "X+____" and I couldn't fucking comprehend that the answer was xbox and I had to end my winning streak with that player.

I don't even want to recount some of the dumbass conversations I've had lately, where I sound like a complete moron. It's not as bad as asking someone at a restaurant "Is your tuna like tunaFISH or tuna?" -- what does that even mean?   That wasn't me.

But I actually said aloud, about hot yoga, "What is hot yoga?"  Did I think it was a new breed of casserole? I mean, it's just hot. Yoga.

How about I keep pronouncing Steve Jobs as in biblical-Job. Imagine using that pronunciation for every "job".

At a party, people asked me "What's new?" and I said, "Nothing." What a great conversationalist I have become.  Who invited the boring chick?

I got excited because Ted Nugent is coming to play my town. That's so weird, because, I've never before been excited about Ted Nugent except when the Flying Bobs ride would play "Free for All" at the local amusement park. Isn't this a sign of some stupification?

So that's what I get to tell my doctor when I see him again, that I'm a blockhead.

Yeaaaaaaah buddy!

Don't feel too bad about the xbox thing. One of my friends who is a talented artist drew a very detailed picture of a man standing in front of a cash register and I couldn't guess "cashier."

Hi - I love your blogs. Your Aunt D is friend of mine. When I had big brain drains, it was when I quit smoking or I was going thru "the change" (hormone withdrawal) and when I was on cholesterol meds (statins). Now I'm just getting senile. Hope to meet you next time you're here.
