10 Unnerving signs of my aging mind


1. I want to live in a trillo in Italy and raise goats and chickens, even though I don't like animals, canning fruit, or windowless rooms. Nor do I want to learn a foreign language. Even Italian.

2. I want to buy a lifelike baby doll with real hair and rock it in my arms and talk baby-talk to it. (Possibly to replace the Betsy-Wetsy, 1950)

3. I want a Betsy-Wetsy, 1950.

4. I want an unreliable cute Italian car.

5. I think I should return to the Netherlands to die in Opoe's barn.

6. Medical marijuana. What about it?

7. I am worried that I will die alone and none of my children will notice for several months. Maybe years.

8. I am worried that I'm worried about #7. Isn't this some kind of new paranoia?

9. I am worried that Tom will die, and I won't notice.

10. What?

  2. Tom predicted your joint death in a timeline he wrote in my college journal ( I think we were all drunk) - anyway, he predicted the two of you would die making love in your old age and I've been assigned to speak at the funeral so you will not leave this world without a fanfare. I've got it covered.

  4. Jacqueline has just identified the perfect passing. AND. #7 is so me, you'd think we were sisters or soul mates or something.
