Live by lists and memory association games to assist me to recall things. I have times where the word is just, you know, right there, but it eludes me. Maybe the lack of estrogen affects us adversely. Then too, there is the whole stress, lack of rest, recovery thing to consider. I think we just have to learn to cope with the new norm.
