Sweat @ MindSay 
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...
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.
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 ......
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.
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.
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.
