Am I losin' it?

Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to let you know that it is ME who is "losing it", not Janet.

I restarted my computer this evening and a little icon at the top of the screen was blinking after the restart. It was annoying me (it doesn't take much anymore to annoy me. LOL!) I tried clicking it, but couldn't figure out why it was blinking.

I finally realized that it was my bluetooth icon on the computer so I thought, "Well, I'll stop that blinking, I'll just turn off the bluetooth".

So I did, I turned it off.

Next, I go about my business on the computer and all of a sudden, my keyboard isn't working. I'm thinking, "Well, great, something is wrong with my keyboard, what is wrong with the darned keyboard"

Then, slowly and painfully, I remember that a few months ago, I spilled a drink on my wired keyboard and it wouldn't work. I had an old wireless keyboard with my laptop, so I got it out, put in new batteries, and synced it with the BLUETOOTH on my computer and suddenly I realize.....

The blinking bluetooth was telling me the batteries on my keyboard were low and needed to be changed.

Don't you know I felt stupid!!! I used this wireless keyboard with my laptop for about 3 years before I got my desktop computer (2 years ago). I don't know how many times I saw that little blinking icon and knew it was time to change the batteries.

GEESH! I'm LOSING IT!!!

I'm not "losing it" because I never had it. I've never had a good memory, so I work with lists and reminders. It's a normal thing for me not to remember what a blinking light is. If I could just get Harold to stop saying, "I told you that" and "We talked about that". I tell him just to play along with me and repeat things again.

No, I don't think we're "losing it". I think we just have too much to remember at our ages!

You don't know how relieved I am to know it's just not me losing it, but sorry to read it's affecting you too....
