My Grandmotherly Ways

I am just going to throw it out there. I am a grandmother living in an almost 24 year old body. I have noticed since the school year started that I need more sleep. But now its just ridiculous. I get home after a full day of go go go and am ready for bed. 9:00 comes around and as soon as my head hits the pillow I'm out! I have achy joints, really now, I played sports but never had such an issue. The cold weather in Utah has done its work and I walk outside and my joints immediately tighten. I may die soon! While those have put a damper on my activity level nothing tops my memory loss. I really have lost my mind. Is early onset Alzheimer known to affect 24 yr olds? If not at least I can find solace in the fact I am the first, and will make medical history! Wonderful! I can't remember what I taught yesterday, I can't remember if I took my medicine...I plan my day in the morning and by the afternoon have completely forgotten what I was going to do. I am such a teacher, with post it notes all over my computer, my room, in books etc. to remind me of all that I have to do. I thought I had lost my SSN card, and funny that it took my mom who is 2000 miles away to help me find it. Ill cross my fingers my memory comes back soon and that summer comes fast. Spring break and warm weather will be good for more than one reason!
