I read somewhere that the first sign of menopause is a broken thermostat.
Could that be why my hydro bills are through the roof? Just my luck, not only are they over billing me for my hydro, the jerks have placed a delivery charge on my hot flashes… DAFT PRICKS!
Over and over, since I began writing this silly blog, I have conceded that nothing could have ever prepared me for midlife.
As I struggled to pick my M word, I discovered that there are a lot of life changing words for women starting with the letter M (and they are kind of chronological).
Words like menstruation, marriage, motherhood, midlife and menopause, all fall in cycle, surrounded by another M word... MEN.
Which leads us to the most famous ‘Mmm-Mmm’ reason why 99% of all women my age buy copious amounts of high test Duracell battery stock….
MONEY MANAGEMENT!
What the hell were you thinking?
I've been postmenopausal for quite a while. I'd say it was just the past year that I finally got some of my short term memory skills back. Thank goodness!

It's been a rough go. The nights are the worse... but I am just starting to ge the odd one through the day. I hate it!
DeleteI have perfected "the look" I shoot at my family if one of them dares say "I'm cold"...put on a sweater and get out of my way! Thanks goodness they love me, flashes and all!
ReplyDeleteMy husband teases me all the time... Us men need to learn to nod and wave. nod and wave... "need anything honey?" "I'm here for you!" "Midol, lorazapan, bullet?" :) Ya Gotta Laugh About it!!
DeleteLove it!! So funny and entering the peri-phase myself with perfectly timed hot flashes during my day. You made me laugh. I like all the M words that signal the growth of womanhood :-) never noticed that before. Conlee http://www.conleericketts.com/blog.html

ReplyDeleteI just read all your A to Z posts. I love these little snippets into your life. Your husband sounds hysterical, and your kids awesome. Your husband's boot mistake? I could totally do that. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Rory. I did A-Z for the first time last year. Though I started out with a plan, it ended up being very stressful. I'm not a writer, so by the end, I vowed never to try again. This year, no plan. It's been much more enjoyable. Again, thanks for reading :)
