What Have You Done Today to Make You Feel Proud?

Can we talk??? I mean about hormone fluctuations and how they affect our diets. I am officially going through menopause.   How the hell did this happen? You don't have to explain, that was rhetorical question. I haven't had a period in over eight months, but for the most part it hasn't bothered me. But today....Good Lawd!!!

I broke a fingernail and was totally irritated cuz we have reservations at the Blue Bayou Grille for my birthday Wednesday and I wanted them to look nice. I don't usually care about my nails one way or the other.      I turned on the news and it's all about the convention...isn't there anything else going on in the world? My sister was here crying over her weight, and I had no patience for her non action. Just go or get off the pot already!  And Robert didn't shut up all morning long! And I usually love our talks in the morning. Yep, it was HORMONES!!!

No wonder I have been starving to death. So what I would like to remind you ladies of is that sometimes there are reasons that you may HAVE to have that piece of chocolate cake and we want to blame it on lack of willpower. No, it's those evil hormone fluctuations.      Just a little reminder of the possibilities.

I'm proud that I have managed not to let anyone know how much they have aggravated me today. Which is what leads my husband to say, she's not having a problem going through menopause at all!

I am proud I managed to avoid crying over my friends dog problems. I'm overly sensitive to animals and my friend's dog is dying right now from pancreatitis. The puppy is suffering but I stayed strong and was a good friend with a shoulder to cry on. Usually, I'm a blubbering mess when it comes to animals suffering in any form or fashion.

Awwe Janina, that is just so sad. I can't stand to see houndpuppies suffering either, you is such a good friend...you SHOULD be proud for being there for your friend and her dawg. Does she have plans to get another puppy? That's what my sister does and it seems to help her get over her grief. She is still mourning losing one of her 'babies' and it's been three years.

Oh yea, I hear ya. Sometimes there is no other way around it. Hope you have a better day tomorrow!

I'm happy I survived the first day of work. I found out that my scare of perfumes are nonexistent there....yayyyy. Now I got another fear...it's hotter than hell in there! With my anxiety I'm praying I don't freak when I'm having a hard time breathing from my allergies/asthma. I tend to do this on a regular basis when my chest tightens up. I was thinking about it all day long while sweat was pouring off my forehead. Pray for me on this one...because I have a feeling I might end up on the floor passed out.

Other than that it was a good day.

Yay Holly, you made it! The good news is that you live in Alaska, so hopefully it won't be hot in there come winter time. Until then, maybe you can get you one of those little hand held personal fans to keep the air circulating, or run to a window occassionally and get you some air. You can do this girl, you're a teamster!
