The loser standing small…<\/p>\n
And the loser is me!\u00a0<\/p>\n
I usually stay pretty even at card games – win some, lose some.\u00a0 Depends on the game of course, but I do okay.\u00a0 And I always always always win at Trivial Pursuit.\u00a0 If I lose at that, it’s because someone is cheating\u00a0– I won’t mention names, but sometimes people with the initials T.G. are big cheaterheads who “take liberties” with their rolls.<\/p>\n
Lately, I am LOSING everything!\u00a0 I lost at least 4 games in a row of Trivial Pursuit (not counting the games that are customized for the newly 5 year old Maddie – when she’s on my team, I usually win).\u00a0 And I don’t think any cheating was involved!\u00a0 Tonight, I got completely destroyed at Nerts<\/a>.\u00a0 AND, my performance on Jeopardy<\/a> (yes, from my sofa) has been really slow and pathetic lately!\u00a0 How am I ever going to exchange witty repartee with Alex Trebek if my brain is too slow to answer any questions??\u00a0 So the question is, where has my brain gone, and when do I get it back?\u00a0<\/p>\n I found out this week that I am kinda anemic, so I have to start taking an\u00a0iron supplement.\u00a0 I did a little research (at least I remember how to use Google), and found that anemia can go along with things like RA, and can cause fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, along with more stuff.\u00a0 I’m blaming the missing brain function on the anemia and the lessened oxygen flow to my brain.\u00a0 That’s my story anyway.\u00a0 I’m competitive enough at games that I’m totally ok with\u00a0blaming my poor performance on faulty body chemistry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The loser standing small… And the loser is me!\u00a0 I usually stay pretty even at card games – win some, lose some.\u00a0 Depends on the game of course, but I do okay.\u00a0 And I always always always win at Trivial Pursuit.\u00a0 If I lose at that, it’s because someone is cheating\u00a0– I won’t mention names, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[5,2,17],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=115"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=115"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=115"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sydnieann.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=115"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
