CHA CHA CHA CHANGES

Go ahead.  You can hum David Bowie’s song for this post.  I am. 

I have been back home for 3 weeks.  It was…well, it just was.  Twisted Sister turned on the air to get it cool before I got home.  Quit working.  The day I got home I had to go buy a new air conditioner.  Yay me.  My garden was full of weeds.  I was gone for two months.  A lot can happen in a garden in two months. 

I decided to make some changes in my life.  I am trying to quit smoking.  So far….just cut it in half not stopped.  I started taking my vitamins every morning.  I kind of got out of that habit.  I started walking a couple of days ago.  I didn’t walk today because my shins were bothering me a bit and I knew I would be standing a lot today.  But I didn’t.  I was trying to spray the yard for fleas but stopped because it REALLY looked like it was going to rain this time.  If it doesn’t I will be p’d. 

So I am feeling better physically and mentally.  Oh I forgot to mention that I haven’t had a menstrual cycle since April 11.  Now I know it probably isn’t the best subject for a blog that gets posted to my facebook but…I REALLY wanted to shout from the roof tops.  I am so thrilled. 

I had a couple of days where I felt more emotional than normal.  Then I started experiencing mild hot flashes.  I barely broke into a sweat.  It happened on and off all day for a couple of days.  It got a little bit irritating.  After hearing of other peoples experiences I am super lucky.  Hopefully it will stay that way.

So I am trying to be a more positive person.  Even though there are a lot of negative things going on in my life.  No job.  No money. No shopping. No job. No money.  You get the point.  There are other changes I have made in my life.  Other people just don’t know about it yet and it is too personal to talk about just yet.  What?  Yeah.  I know.  How much more personal can I get talking about menopause?  Well it involves other people so that is how personal it is. 

I joined an Art Association and have committed to selling my jewelry and other items at a local market on July 10.  This puts me on a timeline and forces me to get busy.  Hopefully I will sell some things there. If not Etsy here I come or…I will send it to my daughter for a jewelry party.  She has a TON of girlfriends.  And they like to shop.  So cocktails and jewelry….a real plan.

I am also sending out my resume.  So far that has not worked for me.  It feels very odd to me because I have never ever had a problem finding work.   On the 12th I plan to start marketing as well.  If anyone is in need of a PEO let me know.

So those are a few changes in my life.  Hopefully I will have more interesting things to talk about in the future.  And more often. 

Hugs and chocolate kisses
