I feel like I’m changing a lot. I can’t explain it. It’s not a bad thing, it’s a good thing. I’m more at peace. I no longer have anxiety that I’m going to die prematurely because I found some happy for the first time in 10 years. I also feel physically better. I lost about another five pounds, and I feel recovered from the sheer exhaustion I had in December and January. The only negatives are that I have more severe perimenopause symptoms. I’m not just getting hot flashes, I’m getting hot and cold flashes. I have extremely dry skin, and cycles closer together than normal. I just have to tell myself, at least I don’t have to wait until after 50 for this crap. My daughter is spending more time here in Waller with me and Kevin now that she’s almost 18. It’s a little nerve wracking that her spending more time with me by choice will send her stepmother into some meltdown, but at the end of the day, what is she going to do? Not let me see her for four months? My tech savvy child? Not a chance. I will be taking my daughter to her future university in San Marcos, Texas the last week of June. There’s going to be a parent orientation, and then we are going to do something fun. Not sure what yet. I don’t know how else to explain my recent enlightenment, so here’s a random photo dump
I went through menopause and the moodiness and hot flashes were bothersome but not terrible. I'm glad to be done with it all. lol
ReplyDeleteIt's nice that your daughter is spending more time with you.
