Pissed off

   Yes, I'm pissed off. I spent the day in bed, which did help me physically (this morning I was feeling bad), but now, I'm pissed off. At everything and everybody. And I can't seem to focus on anything that doesn't piss me off (because, right now, EVERYthing is pissing me off). And it's not just the menopause s**t, too, it's all the stupid little annoyances that I would normally go "Oh, well," at, and shrug off. (Oh, there goes my digestive tract again, just to remind me of who's in charge. Maybe tomorrow it'll be merciful and allow me to go get groceries and maybe clean the floor. Wouldn't that be nice? Then my family can have bread for their sandwiches and go barefoot in the kitchen. What a treat!)   Once again, menopause makes every molehill into a mountain. It's bad enough that J's decided to look for another job, which is good as he hates the old one and it's no longer lucrative, but that means we're on hold regarding our spending until he's settled with a new one...and the Holidays are coming. (Our daughter's birthday is in early December, making an expensive, high-stress time of the year even more so). But, on the bright side, his mom's not coming to spend the holidays with us like she did last year (THAT was 3 months in HELL!! Absolute, Total HELL!!)  Also on the bright side: I have you ladies to turn to. No one in my family, with the exception of my husband and child, have been able to provide any emotional support that I so badly need during this time. If I have any iota of happiness and sanity, it's all due to J and L, and to you.Apologies if I don't keep up with messages and give back as many hugs as I should. I'll try to get better at replying. I do read, and appreciate, everything everyone sends me. You are the Best Friend, the loving Aunt, and the wise Grandmother, none of which exist anywhere else for me except on this site. I love you all! Thanks for being there for me!   Oh, s*t! We're out of Kleenex, too! Great..just great.

MKal,You are great and I hope you start to feel better soon. Yes, I just love how things that wouldn\'t have bothered me a few years ago, just piss me off, or make me feel like I just lost my best friend. I just wanted to let you know that I made it to the book store and picked up the book you mentioned, thanks so much. Feel better! Geo

Yeah, I hear you! When your physical parts do what they please with no control, it can ruin the day. I can\'t believe your mother-in-law stayed with you last year for three months! Thank goodness you won\'t have to endure another holiday visit.Talk about outstaying your visit! OY! Makes you want to run away from home. Take care,
