Old Age Day by Day June 7, 2010

I'm having trouble with my blog. I can't seem to access it myself. Not only that, I can't manage to figure out how to sign up for Medicare online. This after reading in this morning's paper that the middle aged brain is improved in skills and actually getting better. No evidence here. I've been away so much that all my rhythms are off and I seem to need my old boring schedule back. A few days with not much going on would be good. I'm very outgoing, but not all the time and each day I actually spend more alone that with people these days, so much as I relish socializing, and also get disoriented. Our little choir had its concert yesterday and I had a baby solo, and was nervous before and going over and over the words in my mind. It was quite the busy, multitasking mind during the performance, and afterward, I felt a few million brain cells heading off for a nap. They'd done their duty, but were exhausted. So last night, after taking family to the airport, we ate junk food and watched "Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?" My husband thought we needed some silliness. Ironically, now that I think of it, there was a lot of good music in it, and the down home country tunes were like three we sang at the concert, one of which had my mini solo. Which reminds me, when we waved goodbye to our granddaughter at the airport, she was clutching what she calls microbaby. A tiny doll I found for her in the toy basket. Microbaby resonates with me. Sometimes I feel like a microbaby, and sometimes larger. It weaves in and out with the rhythms of each day. Hopefully, Macrobaby will find her blog before tomorrow!
