oooo, wool rugs. My cats always chew on them, though, rather than simply rolling around on them in ecstasy as they ought to do.
'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Ooof. I think skip over, not do over.
Yes, this. Hope you feel better soon.
I scared the cats with the evil vacuum. Puppycat is now sleeping in the space between the tops of the cabinets and the ceiling. It's kinda cute.
I *really* need to jump in the shower now. Right about now. Any time now... This is me - jumping. thwump
Now that I have reached the age of 50, I have truly entered the exciting joyride known as perimenopause. SUCH a pleasure! Throw out your old calendar, as your period can come at any time! Sometimes after 9 days, sometimes after 40 but never ever when it's supposed to! To make it exciting, one visit will be massively painful and flowy and involve every possible accompanying hormonal discomfort and the next will be demure but go on forever! Symptoms which used to be exclusively premenstrual will show up for no reason three days in! Each period can stop and start for no discernable reason several times! All of these symptoms are, of course "Natural" and "Part of the Process."
Feh.
I say, F*ck natural. All things evil are natural.
Except Matilda.
Matilda is wondrous.
Yes, she is.
I think we should propose a constitutional amendment banning perimenopause as an enemy of the state. Things would run much smoother if we didn't have to worry so damn much about feminine hygiene. I mean, really, having to carry around so much product all the time for just-in-case is very taxing on the body and the nerves. I know my road rage would be much milder if I wasn't racing to get home to change a tampon every two hours.
Preach it, sistah!
Cyanide is natural. Rats are natural. Salmonella is natural. Chasing down small animals, killing them with sticks and eating them raw is natural. Squatting in the woods is natural. Sneezing and dripping from allergies is natural. I like to think we've reached the Post-Natural Age.
I have no tips for perimenopause. It sucks. Mine didn't last long because I got thrown abruptly into menopause, with is much less messy but comes with extra added hot flashes.
Robin - I'm not even 40 yet and just got slapped with ALL of that. My gyn recommended the NuvaRing. This is only my first month on it, so we will see if it helps the "gee, what fresh hell of PMS/period can we inflict this time".
