I wore a Firefly tshirt yesterday and had two people freak out about how much they loved the tshirt and Firefly, including the mom I was having coffee with. So, that was fun. I don't usually find many geeks in this town.
I have been reading a lot lately on how high-masking smart neurodivergent women just FALL THE FUCK APART during perimenopause because all of the coping mechanisms we've been using since puberty were built on a foundation of mostly reliable hormone levels, which, as it turns out, were pretty important for day-to-day functioning.
Tell me about it. Also my meds are like, "fuck off we don't feel like working for you right now" which apparently is also a thing in perimenopause. Fun times.
Susan, that sounds good. Continuing to send good thoughts your way while you wait for the results.
I'm afraid New Orleans is off the menu for this trip (but oh how I loved it there! I still remember dancing in the street with you), but I'd absolutely love to see you again.
Ha! Remember we got invited in to “work the pole” at a place on Bourbon St? And I was so proud of finding you a non-spicy poboy and then the mustard was too much. That was a fun day.
Count me in the neurodivergent falling apart group. I have an IUD, so I don’t get my period any more, but night sweats have started and my hair has thinned A Lot and it feels like my muscles are melting away and my brain is Swiss cheese. My usual mechanisms for not remembering things is not working. The lifesaver right now is being able to get Siri to set a reminder verbally when something floats to the top for a moment.

We should start a club!
I've been doing a lot of errands outside of the house this week, but I'm exhausted (I have another uti and I'm still fucking coughing even though I'm no longer sick). So, I'm trying to be productive on the computer today so that I'll actually have the spoons to go out later this afternoon with thessaly.
I have a cold that keeps dragging on. I haven’t literally been sick ever since Xmas but that is what it feels like. This may be my lungs’ long-fomenting revolution coming to fruition.
We should start a club!
Right?! This is it. This is the club. Thankful to have y’all for company. I started reading Menopause Manifesto but it’s a bit dry. I may need to try the audiobook or get a physical copy for reference instead of an e book from the library.
I had much-needed therapy this morning and now I need to get up and do some exercises and finish getting the room together for -t’s arrival tonight? Doan wanna.
We should start a club!
Let's call it Buffistas, we'll meet online :)
I ate my lunch and I’m still hungry and I don’t have any more food at the office. WAHHHHHHH
Also, how is it only 2:30?!?!!
I wanna go home and have chips and guacamole.

lol I was just thinking that!
My hair has thinned a lot, which I hate, but tbd if it is age, due to weight loss, due to bleaching the heck out of my hair for a couple years, or some combo. It’s no longer falling out like crazy, but it hasn’t grown back either.
I feel a nostalgic urge to bring up thread proliferation, for some reason
I have been In Menopause since 2019 AIFG.
I mean except for the visible aging and lack of fitness, but not menstruating? I can’t believe I did that for 33 years, give or take a couple of kids.
