Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Well, it appears that my efforts to avoid Marcel at all costs so that I wouldn’t get sick have failed, since I’ve now been struggling with the same flu. I thought this morning for about half a second that I felt better, and since that moment my poor body has been spiraling down hill at a faster rate than I like to admit.

If this continues, I’ll be making my own little trip to the doc sometime this week, as I am actually running a fever, and Marcel was not. At least there is some consolation to feeling bad- yesterday I wanted to eat everything in sight, today I’m forcing myself to eat. I guess there’s a silver lining to every dark cloud.

Having the time to lounge also gave me the time to install Windows 7 on my laptop, something that up until today I haven’t made the time to do. Again, a silver lining, since so far, I actually like it, especially when I thought my email was gone, only to find that when I installed the email program on the MS site to find that all my mail appeared. Yay!!

Right now, I think it’s time for a bath, and then I’m going to attempt to eat a salad that I prepared myself, that’s just sitting there- waiting.

If you have a chance- say a little prayer for me that I feel better soon. I have much to do this week.

I know some of you may find this to be a little T.M.I. (too much information) but I’m really over having these horrible cramps every month. I know- I know- but this is my little space and I can write about what I want to, and right now- that’s what I want to write about.

Over the past year or so, those little monthly visitors have become increasingly worse, and I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I’m very certain that I’m in the stages of perimenapause. I had all the symptoms with the exception of irregular periods, and well- last month I had two, so I guess I have all the symptoms now.

I think I’m going to talk to my doc and see if he would be willing to run some blood work to see if I’m short on the hormones, just to be sure, and then see if he would be willing to give me some hormone replacement cream. I hear it works wonders, and trust me, considering the mood swings I have from time to time, I need them.

I read today that Dr. Oz (whom I adore), says that some hormones are like Valium for our bodies, and when it’s too short, we tend to stress out more than usual. Dr. Oz knows and I’d say that it pretty much nails how I feel from time to time by getting annoyed at the tiniest things.

Does anyone else go through this, or am I alone in this little journey? Come on- don’t make me do it alone. haha
