A Day In The Life

I may no longer have a uterus, but I still have ovaries which function well enough to give me the occasional hormonal mood swings associated with being a member of Team Female. I’m fortunate in that since my hysterectomy 12 years ago, I really don’t have these mood swings very often, but when I do have them they swing hard and wild. Today is one of those days. For no reason whatsoever, I feel sad and like I’m trying to get through this life alone and unsupported.

Now, I should point out that intellectually I know this is not just untrue, but a crock of bull. That doesn’t stop me from feeling it. I need to remember, during these times, to not go shopping unsupervised. I always end up bringing home things I don’t really NEED. Like clothing, and…. Chocolate. Lots of chocolate.

OK, maybe I needed the shirt. All of my work shirts are definitely showing their age, and it doesn’t really hurt all that much to get just one to start replacing them. But I probably could’ve done without the chocolate pecan cookies. And the chocolate milk. And the Ben & Jerry’s.

The funny thing is, I don’t really like chocolate milk.

I really need to not go unsupervised to the stores when I’m feeling blue like today. Maybe I need to find a good place for a massage and go there instead. Or go get my hair done. I’m not really the kind of person to “go get my hair done”, but in the long run it would be less harmful to my hips to take that up.

OK, Allimom is sad today, and maybe I can use that to get Hubby to give me a back and shoulder rub when he gets home. I’m not holding my breath for that, but I’ll cross my fingers.
