menopause and...

Let's deal with the "and..." first...

my friend Tina went and visited Duncan today... and while I'm so glad she did, I am SOOOO jealous!! Thanks for posting all those pix, Airhead! :-)))

But now on to the menopause...

IT SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was lucky when I was still having periods (before the partial hysterectomy in '84) ~ I never really had PMS, just severe cramps...

But now!!! Jay-sus! Even on the Estrogen, I am SOOOOO flippin' moody, and there is no rhyme or reason to it! I don't have "pity parties" ~ I have pity ORGIES that I don't seem to be able control no matter how hard I try. I fly off the handle at the least provocation,and go into murderous rages that leave me weak and exhausted.
And let's not even talk about my memory... never great, it has become totally AWFUL the last year or so! I feel like I'm losing my mind.

My dear sweet Robin has pointed out that I'm under a wee bit of stress right now about Duncan... and SamCat (who just now threw up again after almost a week without doing so)

To put not too fine a point on it... S H I T
