It seems logical that when you’re flying so high that sooner or later the sun is going to melt your wax wings, yes? Okay, that’s a little over dramatic. But I got hit with the period yesterday. A week early. Again. Last time it was two weeks early. Oh My God. When is menopause, or in my vernacular, menoSTOP, going to take place. I’ve been dealing with hot flashes, irregular visits, crazy mood swings for 4-5 years now. I’m so DONE.
Went home last night and just crashed. Ate dinner, spoke with beloved P, and went to bed. And I’m just exhausted this morning. Way too busy on Tuesdays to stay home. But seriously thinking about going home for more sleep.
Thank goodness tomorrow I will feel great. Just always down for one 24 hour period. Recovery has taught me that I can do almost anything for just one 24 hour period. There are exceptions to this. Like vote Republican, litter, and yell at my cat but get through hormone fluctuations? Okay. I can do that.
Gah.
Looking forward to the coming three day weekend. And the next week is short with a 4 day weekend right after. And then holy smokes, I’ll be decorating for Yule!
I got some serious stuff to get moving on. But it looks like this will indeed by a very merry Yule. Let’s hope that Miss Cranky Time stays away for most of it.

Sometimes I wish I weren’t still holding out for the hope that I may one day spawn- if I wasn’t and hadn’t always wanted to be a mommy I’d tell them to scoop the sucker out.
My periods are often irregular (always have been), usually excruciating, and 5-8 days of blood and pain. Wheeeeee!
Hey, let me know if you ever want to come up to project night. It usually winds up being more female bonding / hanging out night than anything, and this friday it’s at my place. I’m also doing candle and soap making on Monday- trying to get a start on Yule gifts myself. 😉
You’re always welcome hon.
Just because you tell them that doesn’t mean they will. I’ve begged and begged. Give up that hope right now. Getting your tubes tied is hard enough. You have to be hemorraghing.
But I have to say I don’t like feeling like a pumpkin that needs to be scooped. ICK!
I won’t come up for a weeknight project night but if you ever have one on a weekend that I’m free, I would like that.
Tis Me, Grace!
Come this February, I’ll have gone without my period for 2 years…and I still get the occasional flash! 🙂 (I call them my personal mini tropical vacations. LOL) PeriMeno and Meno are definitely an interesting time. Rest if you need to. Be patient with yourself. I was very emotional for awhile. Some herbs help alot (I take Vitamin E for the flashing…helps with some of the other stuff, too).
Think of this time as sort of a general slow cooking to get you nice and ready for the second half! lol 🙂
