Three of my pretty close friends completely ignored/forgot my 75th birthday.  David, Bill, and Paul.  I felt hurt about it - especially David - for a while, and now I'm over it, mostly.  When I consider how my friends treat me, I would have guessed that they'd have called/remembered, as they have for many years.

But maybe I just haven't been as good a friend to them as I thought I was being.

Those who DID remember:  Patricia, Peggy, Jack, Joe & family, Lisa & family, and Joe Pruitt.

Oh well, what does it all mean?  What does it say about me that I feel the need to write all this?

Partly, I think I'm afraid of being totally alone.  But only partly.  I'm greatly blessed.

READING, WRITING

Read for 80 seconds in HOW TO BIOHACK YOUR BRAIN by Kristen M. She says there are 7 common conditions that CAN affect the brain:

1. ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE.  5.8 million Americans have it; 1/10 in people over 65; cause believed to be abnormal deposits - "amyloid plaque" - along with tangled bundles of fibers called "tau."  Signs of AD show up decades before symptoms:  memory loss, difficulty understanding & completing familiar tasks, decreased judgment, among other problems.
2. PARKINSON'S DISEASE.  2nd most common neurodegenerative disease in US; 1.5 million affected; symptoms:  muscle rigidity, tremors, overall difficulty moving, posture, handwriting, speech; cause still unknown (but head trauma, exposure to chemicals might play roles)
3. DEMENTIA. Not a disease, but a term used to describe a broad condition marked by a significant decline in cognitive function. 1/6 women & 1/10 men over age 55 develop some form of dementia.  
4. CONCUSSION ("MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY").  Defined as a blow to the head, but no loss of consciousness for more than 30 minutes, resulting in a mild traumatic brain injury. (If loss of consciousness lasts for 30+ minutes, it's called a traumatic brain injury).  2-4 million concussions occur annually.  Symptoms:  memory loss, fatigue, headache, visual impairment, mood changes.
5. ANXIETY.  Most common mental ailment, affects 40+ million in US over 18; researchers say it originates in the brain with over-stimulation of certain neural pathways, and of the amygdala.  Symptoms can be:  feeling worried, nervous, restless, unease, fatigue, irritability, muscle tension, sleep problems.
6. DEPRESSION.  Caused by problems in brain biology.  MILLIONS of chemical reactions in the brain happen; depression is not caused by chemistry alone.  Changes in HIPPOCAMPUS can contribute to depression.  Other factors:  genes, work, sleep patterns, prescription drugs.  Estimate:  8% of US population is depressed within given 2-week periods.
7. STROKE.  Similar to "traumatic brain injury (see "4. CONCUSSION" above), strokes can cause significant neurodegenerative effects.  Blood flow to the brain is slowed or stopped, thus preventing much need oxygen & nutrients to reach the brain cells; this in turn causes neurons to die quickly, which leads to a cascade of cognitive and physical problems:  sudden paralysis (usu 1 side of body), difficulties in speaking & understanding, vision impairment, muscle weakness, permanent brain damage, memory loss, impaired cognitive thinking.  800,000 / year in US have a stroke.

***************************

Today's my 75th birthday. I've made it past my father's age when he died. In 2 years, I'll have reached my mother's age when she died.

I feel like I'm in better health than they were, although I'm kind of tired today - more tired than usual for this time of the day. Mom was made of "strong stuff." Dad was too, but I'm thinking not as strong as Mom.

I've followed a routine of healthy diet and exercise (but not every day) for the last few years (began in May, 2018, so for last 7 years).

Since today's a "landmark" birthday - 3/4 of a century - I've been wondering if anyone will remind me: actually, Patricia sent a card mentioning my 75th, and Sikoki & Richard also sent a card with a huge "75" on the front.

But other than that, nothing; nothing from the family or close friends.

Oh well.... I could say "It's just another day."

But I keep wondering if my being so tired lately is some kind of sign that I'm sick, or aging, or both.

READING, WRITING

**********************

Strange how things go. I went to bed at 9:30-10:00 last night, and I slept thru without waking till 4:45 AM, so about 7 hours total.

I felt fine this morning, and was not excited about doing my routine, but I "just did it." I don't know what motivated me to do it. I went all the way thru it to the "Reading, Writing" point, and then GG called.

I'm glad I did it, but I'm bewildered about what motivated me. Was it a "defense mechanism?" If so, was it because of the no-good day I had yesterday (Rodney, Chrissy, political crises, Pruitt dilemma, etc.) Or was it just sort of carrying on, filling the time slots..... I don't know.

Anyway, Im glad I did what I did.

WHAT MAKES ME SLEEPY/TIRED???????????????
