The Hot Flash!
So, I am a woman of a certain age
and have entered into my pre-winter season...
THE MEN ALL PAUSE (when I walk into the room) - because I am a bitch most days!!!!
THE MEN ALL PAUSE (when I walk into the room) - because I am a bitch most days!!!!
It's winter time, and no one knows
that Truth better than the Midwest! One day it's 50 degrees outside.
Folks are walking around with no coats, riding their bikes, and wearing
flip-flops. The next day the streets are covered with black ice (as opposed to
white), schools are on 2-hour delay or closed altogether, and your water pipes
are frozen.
In the meantime, I am stuck in the
house having my own personal DESERT STORM!
Now, mind you the cold weather
causes me a great deal of stress and for me to cope I regularly consume all of
the items which trigger hot flashes: Caffeine, Alcohol, Chocolate, Spicy Chips,
and Sweets!
As a side note: the hot flashes,
night sweats, and insomnia cause me more stress, thereby increasing the
consumption of those items which trigger more hot flashes. DAMN! I can't win
for losing.

| Now, I am a nurse, and I do know some things... |
Like, I could stop consuming the
trigger items (but that's not going to happen, and so the weight gain will and
has already begun)!
I could exercise. I do have a
stationary recumbent bike staring me dead in the face (but I am not motivated,
I'd rather write and I can't write and ride the bike at the same time)!
I could take a warm bath or shower
before bed (now my ass is already hot, who the fuck is going to do that)?
I could take drugs/medications or
even natural remedies (but I am non-compliant, and I won't stick with it, even
if there are benefits)!
So, I suffer in silence.
With my hand fan...
My ceiling fan...
My floor fan...
My African print Caftan...
(I can't tolerate clothes & actually prefer to be naked all day!)
And, my "robotic" piece
of a man...
(Usually, quite horny on a daily basis, no hu-man can keep up!)
(Usually, quite horny on a daily basis, no hu-man can keep up!)
I know it sounds silly, because
knowledge is power, and applied knowledge is wisdom. But when it's cold
outside, I only wanted to be warm, comfortable, and cozy.
I am not a morning person, so I
NEED my morning cup of JOE (my liquid man). I don't eat meat, so I NEED those
spicy chips and Ghiradelli caramel and chocolate squares (reduces the size of my horns).
I am a reader and a writer, so I NEED that Hopwood
wine every other evening (Sweet Lailah, the sinner and Chambourcin Black, the
thriller)!
HOPWOOD WINE CELLARS
(Become a member & have wine delivered straight to your door!)
I don't have many friends, and I don't talk as much as I'd like, so I NEED those
Peppermints and Jelly Beans!
Don't get me wrong, I know I have
no right to complain, be angry, sad or mad...
But one day, I will talk with my
Creator, or maybe we'll just read each other's minds. And I'll say...
READ
ALL ABOUT IT!
HE/SHE/IT/THEM/YOU must know
that I have never appreciated being burdened with menses, cramps, nausea,
fibroids, a tilted uterus, dysplasia, labor pains, or menopause!
Therefore, I request that I return
to my originating destination, never EVER to return to this material realm again! Pretty Please, with Sugar on Top???💖💗💘💝
