Seriously?
This shit is hell.
When I was younger (geez, I cannot believe I am actually starting a sentence off with this) when I would hear women talk about menopause or read anything, I thought “Oh suck it up ya big ol’ baby, how bad can it be?’
It’s bad.
I never thought my calves or the front of my knees could actually feel hot and sweaty. Like they are on fire, from within.
When the heat hits, it is not just hot, it is anxiety, bitchiness and the need (fast) to get myself cooled off.
The longer it takes for me to get to a fan, air conditioning or my head in the freezer the more cuntish I become.
It’s not just the heat either. I am such a bitch. Short, cranky, critical and I am a blithering crybaby over everything.
I have insomnia and when I finally do fall asleep, I wake up over and over and over again.
I’m hot, kick the blankets off.
I’m cold, pull the blankets up.
Repeat…repeat…repeat, etc.

I am starting to feel really bad for Mr. Wonderful and girl spawn, they have to live with me and my shit.
Here’s my theory:
To lessen the severity of menopause, God gave us wine and martinis.
Shit aint cutting it, I need something stronger, like, I dunno…heroin.
I’m waiting for a beard to show up too and I check my magic mirror regularly while clenching my tweezers.
I call it a magic mirror, but every time I look in it I am seriously traumatized by all the pores and wrinkles and shit. Yikes. Scary.
Lack of hormones can cause a deeper, hoarse voice.
Remember Bea Arthur? Oh God..please don’t make me sound like her.
Although the picture here is of a painting someone did of her with her knockers hangin out and she had quite a pair. I don’t think it was really her knockers, but some dumbass bought if for close to 2 million dollars.
Shit, I woulda let him see mine for 50 bucks..
Sigh…
Pretty funny stuff here, glad I visited. Looking forward to purchasing some of your products.
