I do remember icing the back of my neck and running my wrists under cold water to try and cool down. It has been a really long time since I got an actual hot flash though.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I still have an occasional hot flash but these days the office is SO cold that I have to wrap up when I'm not having one. It seems that it's always one extreme or another, with nothing in the middle.

Re: Team Perimenopause, I got my damn period early today. It can just go away any time now. Sheesh.
And now my husband is taking his life in his hands by reading me the names of all the car washes in like a 10-mile radius. (Jesus, as I was typing this, he switched to telling me how far away they are. "That one is 2.3 miles away," etc. I might need to stab him.)

I've always wanted a human wash designed like a car wash. Just plop myself down on the belt and run through the rinse, soap, dry cycle, if time add the massage.

some of the stuff I was experiencing either has gone away or isn't as bad. My skin is starting to break out..which I guess happens as well.
I'm going to chalk up the low level anxiety I have many mornings to peri menopause. It's this low level.. "I'm going to get fired/get in a lot of trouble" dread of course it also could just be 2020.
..sometimes I have this random thought of "well maybe this is the End times and all of that is right" which doesn't make me feel any better

I read an NPR article about that earlier this year: [link]

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
too much peri, not enough pause, I say.

Well now my period showed up-- really early or really late depending on how you look at it. cramps suck.
also I've been feeling - is it perimenopuase.. is it just my regular depression/anxiety --is it from covid? or the fires ? or Trump.. I guess the feeling of impending doom is a toss up.
And then last night my cat betrayed me and slept next to M and not me. which isn't related to perimenopuase but I feel more relaxed with my Penny kitty cuddles and I had none last night.

And another betrayal..., sorry to turn this into period/perimenopause talk but..I have never dealt wtih a super heavy flow before and ..well..the floodgates have opened. I had to run to Walgreens because I was almost out of stuff, I bought a variety of levels of flow but I should have bought more of the heavy ones.
