    I took my washing off the line and took my letterbox key with me.

    I don’t have a banging social life or much physical capacity, so I’d always relied on my brains as something to be proud of but even that’s going downhill too :(

    I’d accept it if I was more capable of ripping out 10 metre long retaining walls and growing bushels of vegetables …at this stage in life I feel like I’ve dumbed myself down to a pencil pushing automaton. I guess I can still change that just that it’ll take more effort than imagined.

    I tried to put my dirty plate in the fridge instead of the dishwasher.

  of course it’s harder to learn new things as we get older but it’s not from any lack of ability or stamina

  At an older age humans have a vast bank of knowledge and complex world views that explain and unify all the knowledge.

  Each new piece of knowledge had to be tested for correctness and whether it fits in the world view. The world view is also tested to see if it is still the best explanation for all the knowledge acquired. The more knowledge and more complex the world view the more testing.

  It can be tiring.

    I thought some life admin would become less taxing with experience and age, but I find that they seem to take on more of a mental load and not just from the post viral fatigue.
