NO CAP as the Gen Z says. And yes, that means I sound cringe as I am a mid-life peri Gen X gal but it turns out we don't care about sounding cringe. So there ;) Loved this, friend. So dead on.
I relate so much to this. I also had to put a complete stop to eating anything with any dairy, this makes it nearly impossible to eat anything that I don’t make myself. I also regularly forget what foods I do like to eat, or any of the people who live in my house. I have a lot of the same foods shown in your picture in my pantry now.
I have only half the sweat problem, I only sweat in one armpit & it smells like onions now.
I control the urges to stab people who do nothing but breathe in my space, with increasing doses of estrogen. My husband refused to stop breathing so loud so I had to ask him to do it in another room, which was the least violent option I could offer.
Girl I can’t even color! But I am laughing at you and myself reading this. Doc’s been calling it the pre-pause since my 13yr was born. Still waiting but I’m having only cold flashes n waiting for the hot ones to come for me. Refreshing to hear you and thank you for making me feel like I had a sister just by clicking play on your podcast for years! Love ya babe. Keep it coming !
I just want to say that I'm so happy to be able to read your words again. I've missed you in the homeschool community and seeing you just pop up in my email inbox again felt like hearing from an old friend (even though we've never met 😁). The timing on everything you are writing about these days also happens to be spot on to where I am in life as well. Please keep the words coming. Loving these email "gifts".
I feel seen! I love waking up in a pool of my own sweat at 3 am, needing to pee, and then being freezing because I’m all sweaty but it’s 30 degrees outside. And then not being able to fall back to sleep in my personal sweat lake. And then my brain clicks on and won’t turn off. And then these people who live in my house wonder why I’m crankalicious. And then… And then… Perimurderpause and perimenomeltdowns are oooooh so much fun!
Kara, this may have been your funniest post yet! Love, love, love how you were channeling your inner Dwight Shrute (William Joel) and Michael Scott! And yes, most definitely every woman deserves a perimenopausal and menopausal nanny! Being on the other side of Mr. Toad's Wild ride, I will say that things settle down, but, it takes some time. I am still hot and cold and all things in between and wonder if that one will ever relent. Thanks so much for the laughter, lady!
Much needed laugh today from your perimenopausal sister. Oh what a joy this is. I literally just texted my sisters that I am 44 days away from the final Pause…and someone thought cramps were a good idea to pay a visit. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

Ohmygoodness I’m not there yet but I have a few friends who are and this made me 😂 and 😬 all at once. Humor is just always a great strategy!

You, my friend, are a genius.

OMG! Loved this so much 🤣
Oh! Try 32degrees for lightweight vests.
Super sale right now.
I think Katy Peri-M is stalking me, and it’s just a manner of months until she takes over.
Hilarious and relatable!
“…these midlife women are like little grenades covered in retinol and wearing giant panties.” I am dying! It’s all funny cuz it’s true. 😭
