Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

My co-worker who took early retirement had her last day today. A new person started this week.(she was in a lab that shut down.) However, tomorrow and Monday there will only be three of us in the lab to process samples.The late shift person isn't one of them, so someone has to stay until 6:30 each night. I volunteered for tomorrow. Lets see how that goes...

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

To be honest, so is "Are you even anything?"

It really is. It's my favorite part of the exchange.

I keep sweating but it's not that hot. Like I don't feel that hot. And my face keeps getting really red. Except I can only feel it because the skin on my face feels like a layer of fire over my face. But not all the time.

This is a description of the worst in perimeno hot flashes I went through. Bad but not honestly for long. Maybe 6 months of the brutal hot flashes that felt like I was roasting. And I've been in peri since 2011.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I get random flushes, usually on one side of my face or arm.

We bought a house! Fucking finally. This has been probably the most stressful two weeks of my life that haven't involved injury or death.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Congrats, Dana! Way more of an adventure than it should have been, for sure

Thrive to spite them

Congrats Dana!!

Cass yeah I'm thinking this whole thing is part of perimeno I've already dealing with the ragey ragey aspect, the near complete death of my sex drive, my hair has been falling out like crazy (I went from having fine but thick hair to having fine hair and oh look! I think a bald spot is forming!), and my sleep is even worse than usual. Plus random aches and pains. I'm pretty sure for me it started around 2013. Nothing major but just my cycle changing ..

Worked through my taxes and I owe this year, boo. So, going to wait until later to actually file.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I have not done my taxes yet. Should probably get on that.

I have the ragey rage, sex drive drove off in the hills yonder for a while and all the rest are exactly what I've experienced. The ragey rage is the worst for me. Hot flashes, I bought foundation to cover it and lightweight long shirts so it's not so obvious because the flushing on my face was embarrassing (to me) and maybe for others when they asked if I was okay and I word vomited about perimenopause.

They swear this is a 2-8 year experience but you and I are both overachievers, it seems.

House plumbing issue resolved for today but more to sort later. Thank heavens that when your usage changes dramatically, my water district sends a guy out to help you find it pretty quick. Galvanized pipe laid in 1960 was slightly more crumbly than you'd like in a pipe situation.
