Where'd the weekend go?
The weekend is over, and my "must do" task is not done: I haven't finished making the last of the decisions on the shopping list for the kitchen remodeling. Yet undone: sinks, faucets, and any cabinet inserts like spice cabinets and silverware drawers. Maybe I can do this at lunch time tomorrow and get it off to my designer.
I shall blame this inaction on the weather (incredibly hot and muggy--heat index was predicted to reach 105 or so today), a nice day of fannish activity yesterday (ASFS meeting in the afternoon, and I made it to my first housefilk yesterday at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
joyeuse13's, spending time at both events getting hints for my upcoming first trip to DragonCon), and some health stuff.
So there's the good parts about perimenopause: it's an indication that menopause will get here, I've managed to skip a month or two altogether--one time it was two months in a row--and I'm not having hot flashes. And then there's the bad part: sometimes, probably in retribution for the skipped months, my period comes on a shorter interval. It was bad enough after 3 weeks and timed to have me grumpy and achy when I arrived in Maine, but now after another 3 weeks...you guessed it. Can't I just say enough already? Or stick with the "every 30 or 31 days" except for months when I skip? Grrrr!

Do you have some sort of timeline, such as your mom's experience? My grandma had a hysterectomy at 33, & my mom had her first menopause at 40 with adult-onset diabetes, so I have no clue at all what's supposed to happen when. It's probably a few more years off, but the minute I get complacent, that's when something unexpected will happen, 'cause life's just like that.
It was great seeing you at ASFS & the housefilk. Remember the concerts on the concourse; that's a great way to relax & take a bit of a breather. Then there's the "get there at least an hour early toget seats" rule, especially for popular things like ARTC & the media people. Have a big time at Dragoncon!
