Prepositions I think they are. Whatever they are it is always the same type which makes me suspect. I too draw blanks sometimes. I am 50 and attribute some of it to age but I think my meds are causing something too. Years ago at high doses of Efffexor it affected my short term working memory. Especially driving. I had to lower the dose and I was fine.
I make a similar typing mistake all the time. I can't blame it on medications though.

Another thing I notice is sleepiness. Sometimes I am so incredibly tired and practically pass-out while I'm sitting and thinking. My head might fall over sideways until I wake up an hour later.

I get plenty of sleep, but I wake up a lot.

A few nights ago I woke up from a dream and remembered elaborate dialogue and details that I wouldn't have thought possible from my brain. I wish I could use the brain power that creates those elaborate dreams while I'm awake. Maybe my brain is so tired from dreaming that it rests while my body is awake.
