I love our weather. No...I don't want to be a weather girl,ha,ha,!! There's just something very comforting about throwing on layers of clothes and snuggling under a pile of warm blankets. Trust me when I say this doesn't sound like the normal me. But that's just it...I'm not normal!! My hot flashes have subsided tremendously in the last month. I now feel very cold, bone chilling cold, throughout my entire body. It's sort of par for the course, really. I can go through extreme highs and lows in body temperature. It's sort of like being in the early stages of Menopause, and yes, with that comes extreme highs and lows in my moods as well! I'm actually quite comfortable now with labeling myself moody, lol....
Body and mind start competing against each other. Circulation is not so good at the moment. I have some Petechiae on my thighs and it's painful and get's itchy if I stand for long periods at a time. Petechiae occurs in my body for a number of reasons..one, being deficient in Vitamin K, and also poor blood clotting factors. It shows itself as tiny clusters of bruises and can take anywhere from a month to 4 months to dissipate.
So, this kind of sucks right now but things could always be worse! I think I should go eat a donut now! Ha...
OOoooo...better yet, thanks to my dearest mommy I have a fruit cake sitting in my pantry just dying to be eaten!! Lol! Word of the wise...never in passing conversation tell my mom you have a weakness for Christmas fruit cake with marzipan icing! Next thing ya know she'll arrive at your door with the entire loaf! Sans the marzipan icing mind you...bah!
