Under the heading Glass Half Full: I get hot flashes at night, so I don’t get good sleep. Then I get hot flashes during the day, and they keep me awake, so I don’t get into trouble for falling asleep at work. Sometimes menopause does you a favor like that.
I posted that as my Facebook status earlier this evening. I make bold to lead with it here because, quite frankly, I got nothin’. Yes, menopausal brain fog continues. Additionally, it is Bad Attituesday. I had a TERRIBLE attitude earlier today. And I was almost completely unable to write. Could one have something to do with the other? No doubt these problems feed off each other. The inability to write came first, since I have been struggling with that for a while, as regular readers know and are probably getting quite tired of hearing about. Sorry, folks.
My attitude is a bit better since I finished my articles and sent them, with photos for one, to Mohawk Valley Living magazine. I hope they like them. Now I must start looking for topics for next month. I have a couple of ideas, which would make good blog posts as well. A good blog post for today? Oh dear, I only wish I had one!
Before finishing my articles, Steven and I took a walk with our new little Shih Tzu Spunky. Then I ironed patches on a couple pair of work pants: on the butt of my BDUs and on the knee of my jeans (they are what they call “mom jeans,” and in fact they are my mom’s jeans, which I borrowed once and did not return) (in my defense, she told me I could keep them; Mom has more jeans than I do). I just thought I’d throw in that little bit of housekeeping, so you would know that I do other things besides sit around and not write. Happy Tuesday, everyone.
have you tried taking calcium citrate at bedtime? Someone told me about this and I haven’t had a hot flash since I started. It sort of feels like a miracle!
I’ll have to try that. Thanks!
I hope it works for you! I take it with a magnesium supplement, I think it helps with absorption. You have to be sure to get the citrate calcium and mine has vitamin D3 added.
