In 18 days I turn 50. How did this happen? I feel like I'm still 30 something. Even the mirror isn't buying that these days. I try to take courage from examining my 50 year old + colleagues and friends. They look just fine. They still ski, swim, travel, think, dress appropriately and talk sensibly. There's nothing to be afraid of, right?
There are some real positives and I am going to find 50 before January 25 and post them here. Today's is: sometime in this next decade I will move out of perimenopause and into menopause. Let it be soon!
There is nothing to celebrate about perimenopause. It is a nasty decade of bizarre symptoms that leave you feeling like you have dementia, are going through puberty, are extremely PMS most of the time and have all the unpleasant symptoms of pregnancy. I could do hormones but I'm not going to. As unhappy-making as it has been, I'm trying to tough it out. How about you? What are you doing?
I have to come up with three more today. I'll get back to you.
