I get by (with a little help from my friends)

Daily writing prompt
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.

The hormones of my late 40’s that rule my life have my brain pirouetting on an axis of emotions. Today anyway.

If you’re not a woman over 45 (and maybe even if you are), you’ve probably stopped reading. Do men care about women’s perimenopausal hormones? I doubt it.

Anyway, I did scour the news but really didn’t find anything that could connect to me and anyway, my brain is all over the place this morning.

I’m just going to come right out and say it; once I actually get my period, I’ll feel much better but until then, I’m being held hostage by hormones. It’s like this crazy weird holding pattern where I don’t know if I’m coming or going, happy or sad and extremely unsettled.

This is normal right?

Help.

PS There was this funny news story from Winnipeg about a woman who was in court because she had been charged with throwing something at a Canada Goose to scare it away as it was in the way of her getting into her apartment building and I thought haha how Canadian lol…even have to be polite to the geese.

Mom on her wedding day (obviously), she’d die if she knew I was talking about unladylike things like periods and hormones

  1. Your description is just right. It’s the edge of antsy, but just stays there until there is either a burst of emotion or…

    In the meantime, a feel-good movie is usually in order. πŸ™‚
