Unwelcome visitor

[missdiane]

I'd gotten complacent that Flo had decided to leave for good but nope. She decided she had nothing better to do for the holidays so she's making things festive. Ugh.

I should have noticed the face breaking out, lower back ache (well, I get that anyway off and on) and the kitties bickering the last couple of days (no, really. they actually start fighting when they sense hormones).

I was going to go out and have dim sum, though I'd have to go someplace different than originally planned since I saw on IG that they're actually closed today. But I have stuff in the freezer so I might just curl up on the couch and vegetate today.

In brighter news, I saved the gift that the coworker got me to have something to open today and holy moly! She got me a vegan leather purse and a couple of necklaces! Dang!

Maybe this will be Auntie Flo's last Christmas.

For a change, Moon actually paid attention to his Christmas presant; I found a horizontal scratcher that is as high as a stair step since he likes to have one back foot lower then the other when he claws. Maybe he will stop clawing the stair carpet now.

Aside from getting in the shower and finding out that I have NO hot water, the day is going okay.

I'm going to stay in and munch on delicious snacks some generous person in NJ sent me.

Ughhh! No hot water? That is annoying. I took a shower just a little bit ago because when things soon get messy, it's too annoying

Heh, glad they arrived. I'm a big fan of the strawberries and the bourbon pecans, myself.

eww. So very sorry. You've had a rough couple months and this is like the capper. Maybe Dim Sum later? Bonnie and I send hugs to you and the kitties - and a nice warm compress for your back.

I have some frozen dumplings which I'll probably have later. My stomach has been upset and I've had awful cramps.

[halfmoon_mollie1]

I am so sorry. You do what you feel is best for yourself.

Of course, isn't it this way where things are going hard and difficult and the topper is oh yeah, let's bleed! Because there's not enough going on already. *sigh The surprise gift from the co-worker, that is nice! I hope the purse and necklaces are cute.

BTW, I thought a hysterectomy at age 38 was going to be life changing. And it was, just not how I thought it'd change for the better (complications and I developed Fibromyalgia). Anemia and crushing fatigue and WT was 4. I was bleeding half to death each month, taking iron but it was not helping. I didn't miss the bleeding but then I went into menopause (along w. the fibromyalgia) and cycled through w. hot flashes until only a few years ago in my early 60's.
We can't win, can we? Periods can just be awful and bad and last so long and options are limited. I always envied women who had periods where they weren't half-crippled.

I managed to avoid the period migraine this round but instead I got hemorrhoids. Good grief.

I've had the hot flashes on and off for many years. Boy those things are annoying.

Glad the migraine took time away but the trade off... I hope it hurts less than the head. IBS and I have that one hemmorrhoid that will pop out and hurt. It must be on a nerve bc the pain travels up into the lower back where Fibro tender points are and the tail bone damage
