Ginkgo! Yes! I took it for a while and it was very helpful. Frankly, that failure of random-access memory that seemed so devastating when it first started happening (when I was in my 40s) came to be normal and I'd learned to work around it. But I remember Velcro-brain, and I miss it. I will get some more ginkgo right away. Thank you for the reminder.

I am, indeed, bored with my work and I do need to move on. Happily, retirement is an option, and this latest situation has removed any doubts I have about doing it sooner rather than later. The spiritual side of this whole business is important to me, and I want to keep it in my sights. I appreciate your mentioning it.
