Earlier I said to OH. Will you do something about the sellotape? He asked what I meant. I said did I say sellotape I meant carbon paper. He asked me what I wa talking about. I realised I was talking gibberish. I meant clingfilm. It had gone wrong in the dispenser. I can't do it as I have not full feeling in my fingers and can't sort clingfilm out. I do keep getting words wrong though.
You're suffering from Lockdown Brain Fog Caran, and you're not alone. With less variety in our lives through staying home, fewer conversations or challenges for our brains, they're becoming sluggish.
Its a thing, I read an article about it. We'll be fine once we can get out again and have new expereinces to get the brain going again.
Mamya’s advice is good but I think Maydup is spot on. I’ve being doing exactly the same. Surprising myself with my gibberish and wrong words.
A zoom quiz or days like today chatting with villagers and all the sharpness comes back. I can even feel the difference.
We’ll be fine when we can socialise again.
just as good as an ex-Blue Peter presenter on R4 yesterday going on about double-sided plastic tape - they weren't able to refer to the brand "Sellotape" on air, even though it has almost become a generic word.
