Jill is ill!
It's nearly 9:00 pm where I am. And I am still hot! It's driving me crazy!!!

It's so hot that I can't eat. My stomach is queasy. The air is on. A fan is on. It's getting dark and it's still hot. I took a cool shower earlier today.

I'm gonna do it again right now too...
 
 
   
 

Weekend Work Sing-a-long.......

Sing the following to the tune of row row row yer boat:

 

Mow mow the grass

Make sure the lines are straight

Walk back and forth and sweat so much

Until yer ass is chafed

 

Trim trim the trees

Chainsaw them to death

Cut the branches buzz the twigs

Until yer outa breath

 

Shave shave the bushes

Into little tiny shapes

Make sure it's nothing too obscene

Or federal judges names

 

Bag bag up the trash

The thorny little scraps

Stick the skin until you bleed

Lips are getting chapped

 

92 or 93 humidity degree

Man I'm sweating bullets here

And I really gotta pee

 

On and on no break in site

When will this ever end

Why did I volunteer to work

With the damn lawn crew again?

 

For my boys on the lawn crew with whom I worked with last summer, and still pick up a Saturday or two when they need me. Hard hot work for certain, but my guys made it fun. I gotta get up 6am tomorrow for a full day of landscaping at the FedBldg where I usually work inside in the air conditioning.

 

Maybe I'll actually get a bit of a tan.

 
 
 

   
Perspiration, Sore Muscles and Bingo
As a teenager and up until very recently I was someone who dealt with underarm perspiration.  We are not talking a little bit of sweat here ..... we are talking sweat rings to the waist kind of sweat.  Which is quite embarrassing ..... not only as a teenager but as an adult.  And it wasn't everyday all the time ..... it seemed to run in different periods of my life .... of course most predominate when life was at its most impressive / painful.

While working at a State Park here in California and having to wear awful uniforms ..... light green shirt / dark green pants ..... and it was during this time that I was going through a very rough perspiration stage.  So bad that I started putting extra strength kotex strategically placed under my arms to help soak up some of the sweat ..... it worked well enough but I just couldn't raise my arms ..... and the job did require some of that .... but I was so embarrassed by the horrible sweat rings that I didn't care about the kotex armpits.

Then the internet came around ..... and one of the first things I ever researched was excessive perspiration ..... and I found the answer. 

Certain Dri Antiperspirant. 



This stuff works.  Use as directed and you will no longer have an issue .... that I can promise.


What brought this little post on you ask?  Well .... yesterday I mentioned to Dave that I had not had night sweats since I had started taking the Calcium / Magnesium before bed as my hair cutter lady had suggested.  I had gone six nights with out them and not only that I found I was sleeping much much sounder. And if I do wake up ..... I tend to go right back to sleep, no tossing and turning for hours on end.  The two things that the antiperspirant and the supplements have in common?  Magnesium.   Magic stuff.  So for your arm pits or menopause ...... I highly recommend these two products. 

Now the hot flashes are still very much there and there is no slowing them.  Grrrr!


I did not even consider exercising today ..... for those that read yesterdays post .... you probably already know what I am going to say.  MY LEGS ARE FREAKING KILLING ME!  I should say my thighs.  Now I have been working these legs out pretty damn hard the last few months ..... I figured any kind of leg pain from a steep uphill jaunt would not be a consideration ..... I was wrong.  Seriously wrong. Holy Crap!  There I muscles I have not even touched apparently.  Bastards! It hurts so bad to stand up, sit down, walk ..... its like I haven't exercised in years.  OUCH!


Bingo night ..... I don't want to go.  No ..... I don't.  I'm not in the mood to be beat up by mean little old ladies that I can't defend myself against.  And I have a really funny feeling I will be calling tonight.  How did I get mixed up in this shit again? Remind please so I don't do it again anytime soon.  ****NO BINGO TONIGHT**** YAY YAY YAY ...... Smiley


Well that is my super swell post of the day.  Enjoy your Monday all.  I'm sure I've got to do something today ..... and eventually I will figure out what it is.  In the meantime .....



Peace. J.







 
 
   
 

A River Runs Down It
Woke up drowning in my own sweat last night.  May as well of just stepped out of the tub and without drying off jumped into bed.  Beads of sweat .... that is what actually woke me up ..... rolling down off of me on to the sheet.  Hair drenched ..... pillow soaked clear through.  Shivering from the cold .... afraid to move from the warmth of the large body sized wet spot in the bed.  Praying Dave wakes up so I can ask him to get me a towel.  He does thankfully.  Dry off and run to closet for my bathrobe .... freezing.  Grab more towels on the way back to put over wet sheets and pillow.  An hour more of shivering and I finally fall back asleep.


Not so long ago I was praying menopause would just hurry up and come.  Always thinking that women tended to over exaggerate the misery.  And I love to be warm / hot ..... so the thought of hot flashes didn't really phase me.  Until I actually got to experience one first hand.  What was I thinking ? 


When you can literally feel the heat radiating off of your body .... holding your hand inches away ..... you are hot baby ..... hot.  Sometimes without warning .... other times with the sensation of heat building up ever so slowly to its peak.  Grabbing what ever is close to fan yourself .....


Now I don't miss not having the monthly at all.  A bonus if there ever was one.  But after 38 years (for me anyway) of bleeding monthly ..... you'd think we'd get a break.  Nope.  We just exchange one joy for another ..... (said with much sarcasm).


Now I'm off to eat breakfast (grapefruit) and sweat some more ..... intentionally.  Really don't want to exercise today, but the house is mine to myself this morning and that is an opportunity I can't pass up.  Crank the music and rock n roll ..... woohoo!




Peace.  J.



 
 
 

   
Prima Ballerina

I did it.

 

I went to the ballet class at the local elementary school last night.

 

I sucked, and I don't know French, and I've never done 90% of the exercises/warm ups we did last night, and I'm used to turning a different way and sucked...but I went.

 

 

 

And I'll be there next week, too.
