This Too Shall Pass
Every time I think I know the lay of the land, things change. Mountains rise in front of me where I’m not expecting them. I lean forward, pushing my heels into the earth and hike upwards. The things I thought would bother me don’t seem so bad. The anticipated ick of chemo – no taste buds, bit of nausea, exhaustion, loss of more cranial peach fuzz – it seems okay… even, manageable. Truthfully, the anticipation of losing my hair was far worse than the actual head shaving experience. I’m getting used to things – sort of.

Perimenopause: Overwhelming. Mysterious. And a Bit Joyful.
It really catches any woman by surprise when it comes, and especially in pandemics and woeful economic times. Please know upfront that this article is not a rant, a complaint, or vents of frustration when it feels like some things turn to s!@t, even when you are not in cycle, and you are medically, physically, and emotionally fit otherwise. I need to point out that this article is part wisdom, part life-hack kind of advice, in order to help any Peri-menopausal woman to continue to be the viva that they are meant to be...on or off the dance floor (metaphorically speaking, as per the first image. Caveat: this is coming from wisdom, and not from any medical training or experience.) I also need to warn you that this article is a bit long, and within good reason. Why not make yourself a cup of herbal tea, or any other healthy beverage of your choosing, and get comfortable. Now let's dig in, because this is gold. Not to impress, but rather to impress upon; I wish I had a guide like this written up for me a short six months ago. It would have made the earlier days of my Peri-menopausal journey much smoother for sure.

'Til Death Do Us Part
Friendship, like marriage, is a funny thing. You never know what might happen. My friendship with Charlotte was strong, as friendships formed through the rigors of caring for infants are. Our sons were the same age, give or take a few weeks, and Charlotte and I came to know just about everything there was to know about each other as at first we sat nursing our babies, then while sitting in a pile of toys designed to stimulate and educate, then while running after toddlers who seemed hell-bent on doing themselves, or each other, in. And now, with the boys aged three, at last we could sit, have a coffee and chat at the kitchen table while the boys played and fought and played again in the basement.

No Name
No Name The pig truck swayed in the lane in front of me, tires careening close to the gravel edge of the road and swaying back to the dotted white line. I'd already driven alongside the truck, checking for pigs. Sure enough, I'd seen the thick pink skin sticking out, cut and bleeding, as it chafed against the sharp metal air holes. All the little piggies shoved in, open wound to open wound. Their pain, their fear, roiled my stomach. Watching the wheels of the truck veer right and left didn't help. I forced my eyes away from the spinning wheels, checked in the mirror of the nondescript Ford Focus I'd pinched. The blond wig was hot and made my head itch.
