I'm a hormone hostage. Perimenopause, menopause … whatever. It's a stupid waste of time, energy and emotion.
I've popped a Xanax and am telling myself that this isn't real, that it will pass. But I hate it. I really hate it.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
