It is 12:34 AM

I am a number person. I like numbers. Right now it is 12:34 or 1234. I seem to look up at the clock when it is 1:11 or 1:23 or 2:34 etc. I was taught numbers are good luck.

You are supposed to make a wish on the same numbers on a clock. Like 1:11 or 2:22 etc.

Some people add all of the numbers up. So say it is 3:59. they will add 3 plus 5 plus nine and that equals 17. Then they add the 1 and 7 and they get 8.

People usually have favorite numbers also. When I ask them what their favorite number is, it is usually a number they had on a sports team when they were young. And it sticks to them.

Because it is late, I am sure I am rambling, but I know some numbers for me are lucky. And I believe that 1234 is my favorite number combination. 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 equals 10 and 1 plus 0 equals 1. and you can't get much better than that.

A B C D, I will figure it out!

I used to remember everything. It was scary how much I could remember. But in the last few years I have lost a lot of the memories for trivial things.
I used to know about every song and every singer, every t.v. show and every actor. Every movie and saying from them.
If I couldn't remember the name, the title, the show or movie etc., I would start a little memory reminder.
Say I was trying to remember who sang the song Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head. I once knew it and now I don't so I start with the letter A and sound out names, if nothing comes to me fast I go to the next letter, B and continue until I remember the name. Sometimes it is the first name, sometimes it is the last name and sometimes it does not come to me right off.
This drives people crazy that I do this, because sometimes I do it out loud. I got to T before I realized the singer for Raindrops. B.J. Thomas. Sometimes I would have caught it on B, sometimes on J, this time I didn't. Then sometimes I have to go through the alphabet a few times, or even more.
So I was just thinking, who cares that I wrote about this. Nothing came on A, B, C, D... hmmm I will keep trying.
