The End of April (for real this time)

I woke up this morning with the sudden realisation that there were several things I was supposed to have done by the end of the month, which still remain unfinished. I mean, don't worry, it's not as if I've forgotten to order vital medication for dying children, or neglected to clean the safety valves on a nuclear reactor or something, so there will be no serious ramifications from my lack of actions. But it's a big indicator of how my mind has been working recently. Which is to say - it hasn't. Things that normally get done without reminders have failed to pop into my thoughts, and tasks that normally feel easy and quick have become cumbersome and time-consuming. And that bothers me. I would like to blame overtiredness and end-of-Summer fatigue, but unfortunately neither of those things are applying. So it's back to my old fears of depression, early onset dementia, or a brain tumour. And I think we know which of those is the most likely explanation...
