Good Morning all ~

I'm sitting here at the computer at a quarter till 8 in the A.M. ~ didn't sleep well last night was up every couple hours, some of it was because of Heathen he was yowling a few times during the night, some of it was Cindy, her tummy has been bothering her for the past few nights and not sure why, she thinks it could be she is getting too hot during the day and it has been VERY hot the last couple of weeks here.  The weather man said last night that yesterday was the hottest day we've had this summer & that's saying alot.  It's miserable.  I'm waiting faithfully for Autumn and Winter to get here, will be sooooo happy when it does!

Heathen has been on his prednisone and antibiotics since Thursday and it seems to be helping him a bit, his spirits are better, he doesn't seem to be running a fever etc.  but he still is having trouble with his back legs and can't lift his tail yet, I hope it clears up soon I feel so bad for him, he's such a independent creature and he's frustrated and miserable. 

Thank you to all that have commented about my Baby ~ it means a lot to me that you care enough to do so.  Makes my heart happy and takes away some of my "cynic". 

Work has been kind of slow the past couple of weeks also, yesterday I was just ticked off in general (same ol', same ol') about laziness and just "don't give a damn" attitude prevelant in my co workers (not all mind you but the majority).

Cindy has it rough too and she doesn't work in air conditioning!  I feel for her so much and wish it weren't so for her ~ but it's her career and she will do what she can to progress with it.

Menopause and hot flashes have been setting in with a vengeance!!  ughhhhh I hate it!  but I will be very glad when I don't have my Moondays OR the Menopause to worry about  lol.  I'll be in my Crone stage of life once it's over with.  It's amazing throughout the history (patriarchal and A.D.) how much emphasis males (not all but enough of them) & through doing so created the same stigma within women themselves...that so much of a woman's value is based on her ability to bear children and once she can't anymore she's not worth as much?  WRONG ~ once you enter into Crone stage (after Menopause) you are stronger, you have less things tying you down, you are wise (most anyway)... there is SO much to be done still!! and you don't have to worry about your Moondays holding you back or all the crap that goes along with it.

Today Cindy and I are going to take her nephew to a indoor water park ~ I'm so not wearing a swimsuit lol ~ but those two will...I'll just take a book and read while I wait.  I hope it will be fun for them both ~ I'm in charge of the camera ROFL ~ that's scarey.

Going to go for now, everyone have a great rest of the weekend.

Blessings*

Glad to hear of improvement in Heathen. Beware of the midlife thing- I sailed through the menopause (funny word men-o-pause, please I paused with them long ago hehehe) but did not know that I would need more care about the osteoporosis thing. I still have never taken anything from doctor and won't. Just nature herbs and supplements, but wish I had started much sooner. At least there is awareness now but be careful of all those prescriptions. Crone Dannelle

I don't know how Cindy works in the heat the way she does. Doc and I were outside trying to spread stone on our driveway, and both of us felt sick to our stomaches afterwards from the heat and weight of the job at hand (Still haven't accomplished that task, we had too much stone delivered). As for that moon cycle I'm still pre and it's a pain in the derrier not knowing when at least 3 times a year. I'm hearing you on the incompetance of co-workers. It was always my pet peeve. It's unfair for them to make the same amount of money without the same effort you put in. I continue to keep poor Heathen in my prayers on the smoke hon. (Hugs)Indigo

Never heard of the Crone stage....but I'm dealing with a bit of Peri Menopause.   Women do have it rough...that's for certain!

sorry to hear Cindy is not feeling well...and has no freakin' A/C!  What line of work is she in?

Well enjoy the rest of your weekend Theresa,
Nancy

Hee...I'm waiting for the Crone stage, too!!

I used to feel so awful for Jesse when he would have to work outside at his job in FL.  He would come home SOAKED in sweat.  ew.
(I'm waiting for Fall for the same reasons as you, but also because my electric bill was.....shocking.)

You have a great attitude towards menopause~I wonder if we recoup some of the money we spent in Midol, Tampax, and pads if we bought stock at menarche.  Then cashed it in we reach menopause : )  We could retire early I'm sure.
Poor Cindy, working without a/c , ugh! I sure do hope her tummy straightens out..Drink girl, drink!  hgus,  Bethe

I like to think I am entering the best years of my life Teresa!  I am not fond of the word Crone though, tee hee!  I am lucky I don't seem to get hot flashes and such.  Fingers crossed!

There are times when being a woman sucks!  Menopause is one of them.  Hope your symptoms don't get too bad.  I had so much going on at that time, I never really noticed it till *poof* no more cycle.  I guess I was lucky.  Hope it all goes by quickly for you.
