Close, But No Cigar

“Well, at least the pressure of an undefeated season is behind us now…”   – 49er Faithful

“Aw, Shucks! That Sucks!”
– Former 49er Cheerleader

That pretty much sums up my feelings about today’s outcome. Both teams played well, both made a few mistakes. A good game until the 49ers ran out of steam in the middle of the last quarter. The Cowboy’s had more stamina than we did so they were able to keep on getting ‘er done – until they won. Daggnabbit!!


I guess we better do some work on our endurance, huh coach?

Even though I’m not having much fun now, I know that once I’ve made it to the other side this crap will go away.  At least most of it – please Lord?!

Today is our 23rd wedding anniversary and my man gave me what he gave me last year (a card) – minus the card. Sigh. He should be living in fear (there are 18 reasons now), but he is too clueless to be afraid, and that really pisses me off!  (19th reason).

Perhaps he’s not afraid, because he leaves Weds. to spend a week up at our new place working on his shop (a.k.a. Man Cave). He will have a whole week without his menopausal woman and I bet he is looking forward to it, the brat! (20th reason). He forgets that I will also have a week without supervision. A week that I can get rid of crap he will never use, but won’t toss out. A week to weed out ridiculous clothing. Oh yes, and a week to go shopping for my anniversary present.  😉

Um, Where Was I?

The 7 Dwarfs Of Menopause

Did I forget to mention the forgetfulness? It would not surprise me…

I tend to be a little absent-minded when I’m focused (obsessed?) on one particular task. However, I am starting to forget the unforgettable, and this scares me.  What I mean is, forgetting important things in my daily routine, like taking the medication I’m supposed to, when I’m supposed to. Because it’s what is keeping me alive.

Earlier this week I did my morning routine and got to work on time as usual. About an hour later it suddenly occurred to me that I had not given myself my morning dose of insulin. Holy crap!

“What is wrong with me?!” I asked myself, in my whiny voice.

“Why can’t I remember anything?” I later asked my doctor.  She tells me it’s just another symptom of – you guessed it – menopause.

I want to menoSTOP !. This menopausing thing is not working out so well. Those people who tell me, “Oh, it’s not going to kill you”, do not know what they are talking about. Because it could.

Hubby says I just have Alzheimer’s, which only runs in his family, BTW. I would find that amusing, except now I’m worried about his mental state. What is he forgetting? Our 23rd anniversary is quickly approaching.

He better not forget that 😉
