fyi

i am TOTALLY having hot flashes.

it's crazy. it makes me feel like i'm crazy. i look around and wonder if every one else is as hot as i am feeling. as hot as a burning inferno! and then i realize that no, not everyone is as hot as i am and no, they don't even look the least bit uncomfortable. in fact, the looks on their faces are complete serenity. it makes me want to kick them in the shins or punch them in the stomach. real hard. so that they feel as uncomfortable as i feel.

i woke up this morning, after waking at 4:30am, because i'm going through menopause and apparently that makes you wake up real early. as i was awake at 4:30am i looked up perimenopause and discovered, that yes, it's true. i will experience menopause-like symptoms for years longer than normal. i guess my body needs some time to prepare to go through menopause.

me: "chris, apparently i'm going through menopause. that's why i can't sleep and i'm losing all my hair and i forget lots of stuff and it's always WAY TOO HOT IN THIS DUMB HOUSE! and that's why i'm so irritable. have you noticed how irritable i've been for the last while or maybe a year?"

chris: no answer.

i guess that sort of explains why all i want to do is sit in the car with the air conditioner on at full blast, aimed directly at my face.
and hit people.

If those are the symptoms, I've been in menopause for the last 20 years.
