Good luck on the bid, Brenda!

I had a crappy swim this morning, in part because I am pretty congested and blargh. But I have to give a presentation today so I need to be at work. Here's to a speedy AM.

Good luck, brenda! That house looks marvelous.

Me, I'm grousing about perimenopause. Bleargh. After I get a cup of tea I will take the dog for a long ramble, which will help my state of mind, I think.

Because books.

I think I've passed the "peri" part, or am about to. Anyone who's had experience with hot flashes willing to talk about them?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like a nifty program. I couldn't do it right now, but seems like a good thing to keep in mind for the future.

It's that early-in-the-allergy-season time of year when my preventive meds aren't quite winning. I can stiff upper lip my way through the congestion, but I hate being so tired all the time. Should only be for another few days, maybe a week, I hope, and then I can stop feeling enormously stupid for moving to a huge almond exporting area when I know how my body reacts to all things almond.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Oh, thank dog. I thought I was relapsing into the 'flu. (I mean, I'm sorry you're stuffy too, but I am unable to cope with getting laid out again.)

Yeah, a big part of why I posted is I find myself thinking "why do I feel like crap?" way too often considering that, really, I know why. And it will pass, like everything does, but for once I have an idea of how soon.

ETA: cute widdle direwolves!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Amy, I have, when I was unable to afford HRT for a month or so. They are CRAZY. I'd wake up, dripping with sweat in the winter, so hot that I'd open the back door and just bask.

And then I'd freeze. Then back to hot. My HEAD would sweat; not just my neck -- the whole head.

I'd also get flashes at the computer, and strip off to a tank and panties (again, in an already cool room). It's really annoying.

Oh no, Consuela! Yeah, glad the assistance was there.
