Alzheimer's begins?

Well, turning 60 has been no picnic.  I'm even more clumsy than before. But this evening is a doosie!

Stopped at Walgreens to pick up Rx.  Line is much longer than normal, no prob got my podcast to entertain.   Guy at register is new and S.L.O.W. then I notice his name tag says LeeRoy!  NICE.

Next stop is HEB for groceries, dog food etc. Ok, a little more dough than usual but the dogs needed some glucosamine.  Splurged on some frozen shrimp for me!  And ice cream toffee bars, such it's a secret.  So, get to the car, set my keys and phone purse down in the trunk THINKING don't forget!  Got it all in and promptly shut the trunk!   Aaarrrggh!  I'm such a dumbass!  March back into the store Hoping they can do Something!  Wait for the person in front of me at the service desk will hurry up but seems to take forever cause Frozen Stuff!  Finally I get to admit my stupidity to the NICE lady.  She tries to call the police but gets no answer, this is no time for 911.  She calls and calls.   Then she calls some guy and they go off, I hope to have a little laugh at me.  Then she eventually comes back with someone on the line,  andhands me the phone, her cell phone mind you.  I give the lady o  the line the make and model of my car, location and my name.  We head outside to wait.  I head for the car and just silly decide to try the door..  IT'S UNLOCKED!  Dumbass here must have forgotten to lock it.  I head back up to the front of the store to let the NICE lady know and apologize profusely and ask her to cancel the call.

WOW!   Get home very fast but only 9 miles over the speed limit.  Get the frozen stuff inside. Decide on chicken pot pie for supper cause I had salad for lunch.  Ok, get it in the oven, attempt to set the timer on the microwave for 60 min.  About 7 min.  later realize the microwave is running with nothing in it!  DUMBASS strikes AGAIN!  Open the door of microwave to stop it, the light inside goes out and the screen black.  Just Great, broke the microwave!  Go flip all the breakers just in case it just blew the  breaker.  No joy!  Go sit on the couch with some wine and play a game to relax.  After a bit I hear a ding, the microwave recovered itself!!!  Hurrah!  Set alarm on table to tell me when dinner is ready.  Play game some more.  Seems like a long time.  Check time, alarm didn't go off!   Pot pie has over cooked 5-10 min.  Damn!  Pull it out of the oven, try to turn it over I to the bowl and it crashes into the pan which has holes in it so juice runs out into the burner of the stove. 

Maybe my biorythims are all crossing the line or bottoming out!
UPDATE!  Intellectual is just barely past bottom and Physical is crossing the line!  HA!
