… I miss my mind the most. This week so far: Tuesday: I was supposed to get blood work done. I forgot. I thought it was NEXT Tuesday. Still waiting for fall-out over that one. Wednesday: Spent all afternoon waiting for The Socialist’s Aunt Artist and Uncle Oregon to call. They never did. I got…
then come on over here and sit by me. Yeah, OK, I stole it from Steel Magnolias, which probably stole it from somewhere else. It sounds like it should be a Dorothy Parkerism, but what do I know? I tried Googling it, and came up empty handed. It seems my day to be ratting on…
Last night was a flurry of activty. Feed the cats, clean and refresh the water bowls, clean the litter boxes, grab dinner, pack for New Year’s Eve, all while trying to claim some quality net time. Something had to give, and I didn’t get to check up on as many diaries nor leave as many…
I hadn’t realized how tricky keeping two diaries on DD was going to be. I’m trying to be careful about not posting to the two at simultaneous times. I doubt that any members of the virtual community I keep the diary for are spending much time reading any diaries other than our own, but there’s…
Kitten from Hell has once again wrested the cat bed from Clueless Wonder. It annoys me – it’s CW’s cat bed, has been for years. And he refuses to defend it, just lets her walk all over him. I bought a new cat bed today, so that there’d be enough to go around (Warrior Princess…
Ok, have your OB/GYN give you a referral to an indocrinologist. There are estrogen mimicing (sp) drugs out there that can give you some relief without the dangers of estrogen.
One thing I have learned is that Drs. are so focused on some things that they miss others. I took my mother to FIVE Drs. for her sudden blindness before we hit on a neuro-opthalmologist who figured out that her blindness was caused by her inability to absorb B vitamins due to Crohn’s disease. Every other Dr. she had seen knew her medical history yet missed the fact that Crohn’s causes malabsorbtion in the small intestine. The fact that the transplant Dr. misdiagnosed your high blood pressure really isn’t a surprise. If it isn’t in the realm of what they are used to, they miss it.
You are an educated woman who doesn’t lie down for what the "professionals" say. You have done the research and you know what is going on. Stick to your guns until you find a Dr. who can help you with the perimenopause. As someone who has gone through it (and am still going through it) I can say that there ARE answers out there, you just have to shovel through the shit before you find them.

The Oracle of Pupik asked me to pass on this message to you.
"Some days it’s better to just to stay home and bake cookies."
I tend to trip over major things like shadows, dust and perfectly even ground. I also stumble across gravity pockets frequently, which quickly suck me to the ground and strongly resembles a trip.

Hmmm… didn’t you say something about moving Out West? They won’t know you’ve tripped for quite a while.
I so agree. Bats have been given awful press.
I met a woman who kept an orphaned bat tucked inside her clothing against her chest to keep it warm. The woman had cancer and was glad to be able to give life to another being.
I’m experiencing staggering inmaturity today and will retire to laugh at the thought of hot flushes until the dreadful guests we are entertaining are gone never to return.
