I'm mostly doing OK, other than keeping wondering why it feels so late all day (because I have been awake forever and started work at 6:30AM?) But I plan to go to bed early tonight.
Niska: Mr. Reynolds? You died, Mr. Reynolds. Mal: Seemed like the thing to do.

Could your brother recommend a good faux gin, Teppy? I do miss my martinis.
I genuinely love everything this place makes: [link]
I'll note that I drink the hard stuff, too, so that's my baseline comparison. The Bittersweet is my favorite Dhos, but the Gin Free also rocks.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
{{{Aimee}}} Peri-menopause is indeed no fun. I've been dealing with it, which has not helped my mood when dealing with Mr. S.(also not helping with my sleep, as I wake up every day before the alarm)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Peri-menopause is indeed no fun.
This supplement has helped me a LOT with hot flashes: [link] It took about 6-8 weeks to really notice an effect, but since then it's been great. (I honestly can't assess whether it's helped with other perimenopausal symptoms like stress and energy level because of the stupid Long Covid, which is chock full of stress and fatigue. No hot flashes, though!)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Relink? Is broken.
My hot flashes and bonus night sweats are getting to be a little too much to tolerate. I've tried to ride it out but I started perimenopause in February of 2010. Thirteen years is too long for this.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
From Steph's link: "...contains geniVida, KSM-66 Ashwagandha, DIM, Dong Quai, Black Cohosh."
I dunno about the rest of the ingredients, but several members of my prostate cancer support group have reported getting some relief from hot flashes by taking black cohosh.
On the other hand, some have reported no benefit at all.
I haven't tried it, myself.

Thirteen years is too long for this.
Good lord. Yes, that is too long!

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
For anyone wanting to try the Monday faux hooch, they're currently having a sale on bundles. I've just ordered the gin and whiskey for Jim and I. I shall report back!

Y’all. tiktok has ruined me. I was at a happy hour tonight and this woman said what she does by saying “I’m an accountant” and I immediately was like “…like a real one or like a tiktok accountant” because that’s all I could hear when she said it like that!! She had no idea what I was talking about and is a real accountant.
