Am I losing my marbles?

Am I becoming dyslexic? Can this happen?
My spelling has been (imho) pretty good. But I'm noticing there are more and more silly errors in my spelling, or sentence arrangement.
I'm getting my mords wixed up.
The embarrasing thing about it is that I don't notice at the time of writing (and sending). It's after I read the response I spot the mistakes in the original message attached.

Typo's are a different matter, everyone makes those now and again. Are your errors always the same ones?
Varied. I'm even getting there/their/they're and your/you're mixed up. BUT I'd say the fact that you know you are making errors indicates that you are not losing it.
I suspect part of it is reading various items (perhaps messageboards etc) where there/their etc. are not used correctly and so you are "learning" as such.... Or more accurately unlearning...
I would start to worry when it gets this bad -->
An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen.
The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, "Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great. I would recommend it very highly.
"The other man said, "What is the name of the restaurant?"
The first man thought and thought and finally said, "What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know... The one that's red and has thorns."
"Do you mean a rose?"
"Yes, that's the one," replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, "Rose, what's the name of that restaurant we went to last night?"
