Lately I have been doing something that is quite embarrasing to me (always having been a brainiac), and somewhat scary. I've been saying one word, but meaning another word, and not knowing about the error until someone points it out to me.
For example: Last night Hubby and I went out to dinner with some friends and at one point we started talking about how much the price of property has gone up over the years. I made the comment that I could remember when you could buy good property for ten thousand dollars an acre. At least thats what I thought I was saying. What I was really saying was ten dollars an acre. To my mind I thought I was saying the right thing. What was coming out of my mouth was the wrong thing but my mind did not register that fact.
The other day I told my son to put the gallon of bread in the bread box. Even after making me repeat myself a few times and looking at me like I had lost my mind, I did not know I was using the wrong word for "loaf" until he pointed it out to me. There have been several instances of this lately, and it's been very disturbing to me. Does anyone else have this problem, and if so is it the medication causing it or some other problem?
