Big change

[stgulik]

Menopause has been kicking my ass the past few days. Well, the past two years, not to put too fine a point on it.

Yesterday on the phone, I totally ragged on my dad. There's a family reunion in August, but a change in itinerary has happened - a problem beyond anyone's control. Dad is trying to accommodate me, but I've been in such a snit, it can't have been easy.

And he laughed and ordered me to look for the humor in the situation, so I know he didn't take me too seriously - but still, bad form!

I emailed him late last night to apologize, not putting the blame on hormones because I know it would have embarrassed him. But I can tell all of you.

When's it going to be over?

And what if it's not menopause? What if bitchiness is my new natural state? D:

Sometimes I think the insomnia is the worst part. OTC pills don't cut it. I'm so used to it now, I have a deal going with myself. If I lay there longer than 30 minutes, I must get out of bed. Might as well make use of those pesky nighttime hours, if sleep ain't going to happen. So on the plus side, I'm getting a lot of reading and editing done ...

My GYN has a picture on the wall of one of her exam rooms; it's a woman on a swing and beneath it says---'Next mood swing in 20 minutes'. LOL
