You know when you are losing it, you can remember the past and what you did but try to remember what you done yesterday or put things down and after a little time you forgot where you put it and spend 1/2 a day looking for it to be looking right at you, then there is the times your wife tells you things but you forget it as soon as she tells you, no that's not losing it, that's just normal lol, I have a lot of life skills but when learning at school what went in one ear went straight out the other nothing stayed in between but show me how to do something and it stays with me, I love my gardens but try to remember the names of plants and if I write it all down I probably forget where I put the book, remembering names, I am friggin hopeless, have always been like that, but I am good with my hands and have no troubles making things that pop into my head, I am not smart in educational learning but am smart in life skills and using my hands, my old dad was the same he was no good with paper work but put basic tools in his hands and he was so good at what he did he built hard wood houses after the war with basic hand tools no power tools like they use now, not like todays builders, nails and good hammer, a bar of soap, a sharp hand saw and a 3ft folding ruler and of course the old flat woodworking pencil and square, a level and 2 saw horses was about it for them.
But Demetra got him at the end and he went downhill real quick, was sad to see a strong man lose it.
