That's neat, Tom.

I was lucky with menopause even though it was due to hysterectomy at 38. In fact, bonus was no more migraines, which were highly manageable with Excedrin and long, dark naps, thank god, but it was still nice not to have them anymore.

I'm currently in a group chat where four of us are trying to nail down one, single date for dinner, and it is getting pretty hilarious.
