Done yet? Not hardly!

I decided recently that I'm just not done with menopause even if menopause might be done with me.....how do you tell anyway?

Anytime a woman's mood or temperament changes after age 38, "Menopause" someone exclaims. The beginning and end points of menopause are like a vapor or fog, obscuring reality, changing it slightly, ...is it or is'nt it....? One can hardly tell 'til it blows away and things look better and you think..."hm, perhaps hormones or lack thereof were to blame.

I am long into this process now. I have reached the ripe old/young age of 55 and I love it! Really! It's too late to worry about growing old, AARP notices have been arriving in my mailbox for YEars! ....I'm over it.....I'm SOOO over it! I refuse to stare in the mirror and long for smoother skin or lifted jaw line.....though I'd love to have these eye lids dealt with.... I'm just glad I have my teeth......with the help of a local dentist and my credit card.....but that's another story.

I decided recently that I'm not over menopause even if it's done with me......I like being able to fly into a mini-rage about something, or give a convoluted opinion that makes no sense or maybe even tear up over a cotton commercial.....then just flutter my hand, fan my face, and say...."oh, sorry, must be the menopause". For a person who has always been the responsible one....I like having an excuse to be irresponsible and unpredictable for a change! I kind of think mother nature owes it to me for service done well.
