Hot flashes are for the birds. I have gone off the making-her-sane medicine so I can get a better grip on pancreatitis, but I am not sure everyone in the house is happy about it. During the nights--covers off, covers on, covers off, covers on, don't touch me, why don't you every cuddle anymore, don't touch me, why don't you ever cuddle anymore... During the days--set the air conditioning to 50, turn off the air, turn the air back to 50, turn off the air... The good part is I haven't had another pancreatitis attack. The bad part is...well re-read the above paragraph.
I think it might be a bit of menopause that accounts for my complete irritation at Noah Webster today. I assume he was the culprit who spelled pharaoh so dumb and decided that gnat should have a g for no good purpose whatsoever. For that matter why put a b on the end of dumb. I type sermons as part of my job and if I never see another pharaoh it will be too soon. A simpe fair-oh would do the trick.
Don't ever try to learn new tricks. I grew up in a household that didn't believe in dancing. Never learned to dance, never danced. Saturday night the youth of our church held a square dance as a fund raiser to go on a mission trip, so I reluctantly agreed to go. I am not that good at the Allemande Left, Dosado, Left-Hand Star/Right-Hand Star, but I can clap. I could clap without square dancing. What was I thinking? Oh and by the way...it was fun. I might have to try more new things.
Apparently the mood swings aren't TOO bad... I haven't noticed at all. :o)
ReplyDeleteAnd that square dancing thing... I really wanted to come to that but didn't ever firm up when it was. So we missed. I bet it would have been fun. Glad you tried something new. Way to be a good example.
Take no offense, but glad I am not living with you. :)
ReplyDeleteThat was a terrific night. Carole you did a great job out there dancing. That was one of my most fun nights!! Way to go!!! Sorry about the hot flashes.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Promenade!!!
ReplyDeleteThere appears to be a magnetic phenomena that attracts older folks to the realm of square dancing. I know several OLDER folks who have come under the SPELL. I will point out that I have not been attracted in any way.
ReplyDeleteIm sure that you have noticed that if you were to start following every one who commented or joined your blog ( the terminology mystifies me) you would have an endless journey. Similar I would think to heading out on foot for the farthest solar system. One of your commenter’s notes are suspiciously contrary to some of my thoughts. She does however show off some very appealing recipes.
In case you had not noticed yet today is a wonderful day!!!!!!
Another modest thought just occurred to me……….you say you are typing up sermons etc. couldn’t GOD send down some tablets or email or something???
RK - That is gracious to say that you haven't noticed. We will let you know the next time such dancing occurs.
ReplyDeleteCheryl - Non taken.
Kitty - You amuse me to no end.
Neil - I agree with being attracted to ridiculous things as you get older. Some people I know live in horse trailers.
Eryl is a great cook and has great recipes. I pretty sure that all my Scotland friends might be a bit contrary to your way of thinking but they are pretty cool people.
God send down a message on some stone tablets once and everyone decided to ignore it. After that he set up the whole secretarial pool to do the job. At least I think that is the way it went.
Goodness, what have I said!
ReplyDeleteWill you have to stay off the sane-medication for ever? I can't believe the difference it's made to me: not only was I grumpy and unhuggable, I'd begun to find driving challenging. Three months of lady pills and I can go anywhere again. I will never give them up!
Eryl - My brother is just ultra conservative, but cool none-the-less. I think I am going to have to be off the estrogen forever. We will see, I have to call the doc and let him know if I've had any symptoms and then we will decide. But I once said the same--that I would never give them up. They make me feel so much better.
ReplyDeleteIn my family, we would probably have danced if we'd known how, but we didn't. Ditto for playing cards. I left home without these two important skills and I've felt like I missed out. Sadly, it turns out I probably couldn't have danced anyway: total lack of coordination. But I too can clap!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, trying square dancing. I can't do it, but I always enjoy trying.
