Am I Getting Alzhemiers?

I was looking on Amazon tonight for some books I heard of. I am a reader and got to get my new books. I had heard Joan Rivers had a new book out about a Diva like she was and I found it. Then I knew our last president before Obama had written a book about his Dad who has the same name almost and for the life of me I could not think of the name of either of them . I could see them in my mind. They look alike except one is older than the other. They are both my favorite presidents.

I was thinking and thinking and that is a terrible feeling to not be able to think of something that you know. I could see both of them in my mind. I can just imagine how  people that have that disease feel. And I hope I am not getting it.

About that time my son Charles walked in the  door and I ask him who the last president before the latest one was. He said Bush. I said what was his first name. And I couldn't even remember that. He said George. I thought to myself "I knew that. That was so simple".   I had been thinking about all the other presidents and I could say any of them. Clinton, Carter, Kennedy .Even George Eisenhower. Why couldn't I think of the Bush's. My very favorite presidents.

This is not the first time I have noticed me forgetting something. But it is the worst time. Usually if I think about it long enough it will finally come to mind but not this time. If Charles had not come in I would still be trying to think of them.  And if I was a multi tasker on this laptop I could have looked it up. I can't do that yet on here. Maybe someday .....
