Laura, I'm sorry you're missing out on Texas, but St Augustine sounds lovely.

Ugh GC, sorry about the bad boss woes.
Laura, that resort looks lovely.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
So this morning I was feeling oddly light and buoyant for me, and I thought… my god. Am I happy? Have I turned a corner with SAD and my normal depression? Did I really release some trauma in pigeon pose last night? And then two hours later I t was like Hiro switched out my Tadashi chip and I was like BAYMAX KILL. I couldn't think, I couldn't focus on one of the simplest and one of my favorite work tasks (denailing lumber), I literally had to bite down on my tongue to keep from snapping at a coworker with whom I normally jive with super well… who knows where this is going? Yep. PMS. That mild euphoria thing was super weird though, not something I usually get.
Maybe you had sleep orgasm while you were dreaming! It's happened to me once or twice, and research shows orgasms help with cramps and release happy chemicals in the bod! /brightside?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

smonster, this is what happens to me! Regularly. Like, every month. I get a couple days of happy, about an hour of the mild euphoria, and three days of BAYMAX KILL along with an intractable headache. (I am at DEFCON BAYMAX KILL right now.) Then I get my period (or, lately, not) and everything's fine. This has been going on for a couple years now. For me, I think it's peri/menopause. For you, I dunno. But my money's on wacky hormones.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Glamcookie, you have my sympathy. I'd offer to be your alibi but I don't think it's gotten to that level yet. Still, let me know...
Feel better, sj.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
Perimenopause can start as early as your late 30s. I started having really fucked up periods then, flow-wise, hot flashes by the time I was in my mid-40s and then really sporadic periods by the time I was in my early-50s. Doctors would say I'm in full menopause, now, because it's been more than three years since my last period. I can't say that any one of you will follow the same pattern, but something similar. Zen, I had 2 periods a year for the last 2 years I had them. The last one I had I gave a stern look at the day it started and it whimpered and ran away. That was about 3-1/2 years ago.

huh ... mine just stopped, without much warning, when I was not-quite 46. Early, but then I started early ... there have been some side effects I'm not happy with, but it's nice not to have to worry about "accidents."

Our wings are not tired.
Yes, I was 47, which was early but I was told my early start (9) contributed to that. It was irregular for a year or two. Light and short.
