the "Change"

It is official:

I had my first HOTFLASH!

What does that mean exactly?????
????????????????????
Is this the beginning of........menopause(shhh)?
Yikes!
I am not mentally or spiritually prepared for this.
Seriously, someone, please, tell me what's next???
Will I all of a sudden start wearing red hats and purple stuff????
Oh, please.....not that.
Someone needs to tell those people how hideous those colors are together.
Will I all of a sudden start telling those people that those colors don't go together????
Am I destined to be PIC(politically incorrect) because I am unable to manage my unmanageable hormones?????
Will I be forced to hang out in my freezer?????
All these unknowns.......
I fear the unknown.
Wait......
I'm seeing a light......
Could this be the opportunity of a lifetime?????
I could use my new "affliction" as the perfect excuse to be nasty/truthful, if I feel like it, and people would say, oh, she's just going throught the "change", it's to be expected.
Yes, think about it:
It is exhausting being nice all the time.
It is exhausting being thoughtful and gracious and kind.
Frankly, it is exhausting being me, at times.
Wouldn't it be liberating to just say exactly what you are feeling, really feeling, and get away with it and have compassion, to boot????
"Poor Lori, she's going through the "change", it's all to be expected."
(he he he he he)
You're wondering if I'm kidding???
Heck if I know!!!!!!!
This is all new territory.......stay tuned to find out.
(he he he he)
