LOL! You paint a glamerous picture for all those younger women out there wondering what it will be like in their 50's. It's fabulous, girls... just effing fabulous. Oy. Thanks for the tip and the laugh!

Katrina, I love your humor about menopause. I had a hysterectomy a few years ago, shortly before I turned 40, and I'm starting to get night sweats and hot flashes. Ugh. Sometimes I feel like we're thinking of parallel things: just yesterday I scheduled a Substack post for April, which was a reflection on my changing midlife body. Love Hester Ectomy. He's adorbs. :)

I had my first hot flash at work yesterday. My man-boss kept asking me if I was okay as I started fanning myself and tugging on my sweater and throwing my scarf across the room. I just looked at him and said "hot flash" and he backed away and said "oh no". As I was contagious lol I love fans and am going to promptly buy one to throw around my neck so it will perpetually blow in my face forever lol

I love the suspicious pocket-pittie! :) Thanks for making me giggle and reminding me to buy the fan!

My immunoglobulin treatments last fall launched me directly and unceremoniously into perimenopause. Wicked hot flashes, thinning hair, vaginal pain. I definitely feel you with this fan! 🥵

Ugh. It's the worst. And I feel like if anyone deserves a health break, YOU DO! Come on, Universe!

Ha! Thank you, my friend. I seem to have gotten a reprieve on the hot flashes with the vaginal estrogen my doc prescribed. There was no guarantee this would help with anything other than vaginal pain, so I’m pretty psyched 💃🏼
