NaBloPoMo is over and I am left a loser.

Wah!

I didn’t win any prizes but shit, I did it. So there.

Anyway, there’s always next year…

It’s almost over. I’ve done well with Nablopomo. It was easy. Now I just hope I win some of those prizes!

I gotta say, this whole NaBloPoMo deal hasn’t got me fazed in the least.

Especially with my sponsored posts to fill my time. By the way, I hope you all aren’t too confused by those. Just think of them as short commercial breaks. That’s what I do.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Almost time for stuffing and gravy…Hey-ayyyyy!

It’s November and as you can see from the badge above, I have officially begun to ruin my life. If you don’t know of or haven’t heard of NaBloPoMo, there are some great prizes involved and it’s actually pretty fun, so I encourage you to ruin your lives, as well.

The only requirement is that you must post, no matter what, every day in November. So, if you check back on me and I’m rambling about how my cat is biting the poop out of her claws, it’s because I’m being forced to write something.

Anyway, on to the important stuff.

A while back, I wrote a post about World Alzheimer’s Day. Well, to follow it up, November 13th is National Memory Screening Day.

You can find a screening site near you here. Even if you don’t know anyone with significant memory loss, it is important for older people to be ahead of the game and to detect early signs of memory loss if there may be any.

It’s just like doing self breast exams. Better to be on the lookout and be aware of the signs as early as possible.

Other important information you can find on the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America website includes successful aging tips and information on how to contribute to finding a cure for Alzheimer’s.

I personally don’t know anyone with the disease, but I understand that it is a very scary and emotionally upsetting ailment. It devastates families all across the world. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging. It is a neurological disorder that attacks the brain’s cells, causing dementia. You might be surprised to know that it is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States.

To find out more about this deadly disease and how you can help, visit the AFA website, and don’t forget to take your family members to get their free memory screening on November 13th!
