Pine nut. Walnut. Pistachio nut. Macadamia nut. Hazelnut. Peanut. ….

Naming nuts! …. Harlan Pepper and his hound dog Hubert in Best in Show. Remember?!

This is one of my therapy exercises. Pick a category and see how many things you can name. Sometime to make it extra hard you have to do with the first letter of the alphabet. ie apple, banana, cherry, d-d-d-d-d.

A couple months ago a doctor had me do this. Now in full (cannot think of the word) .. Nevermind. I had done a fair amount of visual/brain exercises prior to this exercise, so I was tired. I also had to tap each hand to that leg each time I said A- leg tap. Apple- other leg tap. B-tap leg. Banana- tap. Etc. By the time I got to letter H or so (~10 words), I had no absolutely no idea what I was doing. Not only could I not think of a word, I had zero clue what the exercise was. I could not remember. I had no idea what was going on. Short term memory gone.

Brain fatigue is a bitch. A big fat ugly slimy one. The size of this earth.
