My Menopause Blog

I lied.

Not intentionally I hope you realize. I certainly intended to write a post yesterday. But the post breast calendar launch loose ends that needed to be tied up loomed large and the new threads that were woven required attention. In short, breast season is upon us, which means that unless I keep my eye on the boob, my window of calendar selling opportunity will close up.

People constantly say that busy is good. Up until a couple of years ago I would have added my thumbs up to that adage. But now, like specifically this minute, I would beg to differ.

Just this morning, I was given the names of ten people who pooled their funds in order to buy me a painting that was given to me at the launch. Of the ten, three names are familiar. The painting is a portrait that a wonderful Guelph artist painted of me a few year’s ago. He then donated the piece to the art auction portion of the launch. Currently, I have no disposable income so art buying was not an option for me. You can imagine my delight when the auctioneer handed the painting over at the close of the evening.

Back to my point about being busy. Under ideal circumstances, I would like to hand write a card to each of these people thanking them for their kindness. Problem is, I’m busy. On top of this, I’ve a list of generous people to thank that grows with each passing moment.

Now throw in menopause. My energy level is distinctly different from days gone by. The promised menopausal zest delivery truck has yet to arrive and my dragging ass snags the couch with shocking regularity. Even practicing polite No Thank You isn’t enough to bring my world into balance. And no amount of adrenal support will speed my feet any faster.

We are all moving at an alarming pace. And for the life of me I don’t know why. I’d much prefer to share a cup of tea and good conversation with the people who touch my life so distinctly. Instead I’ll end up emailing a bcc group message to express my gratitude.

Yuk.
