Sister, I am with you all the way.

I’m not a crier and I had a moment over savings bonds a few months ago. Like, wtf was that?

Lost my wallet on a park bench. Someone found it and sent it back, bless her heart.

Locked myself out of the house because I was holding something and my brain interpreted that as keys.

I really get it.

I love the power of not pushing through. Eloquent and smart.

Cheers to us.

We’re still getting it done.

Maybe slower and with more zigzags, but done nonetheless.

I hope you find your wallet. The not knowing is maddening!!!!

Sending you so many hugs. I think I managed to escape perimenopause because I had a hysterectomy in my late 30s so it was instant menopause; but post-menopause has been a nightmare. I have the brain fog and there are times I think I'm developing dementia or something! For what it's worth? I'm glad you're able to cry now - even if it's not at the most ideal times. You're finally allowing yourself to FEEL all those emotions you stuffed for so long - and that's definitely much healthier!
