#rantalert You know that crescendo rage you feel building up when someone talks to you like you have a learning disability? I am an absolute advocate for people to be addressed politely but some people do it in such a way it’s offensive (if anyone is totally entitled to feel offended is menopausal women). There’sContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #11”

Menopausal Monday #10
Self Talk Know that familiar feeling at the end of every weekend? That disheartening feeling that comes when something good is over? That’s another weekend flew past. It always feels like we didn’t get enough time… By the time we start to relax, it’s already Sunday. And let’s agree, Mondays are probably the most antisocialContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #10”
Turns out I’m Yellow
Ever heard about DISC? I did my first DISC assessment (in 20 years of employment) at the end of last year. I had never had one (that I remember). I found it really useful to understand my working behaviour. Based on the assessment, I am predominantly yellow, followed by blue, then green, then red. IContinue reading “Turns out I’m Yellow”
Two weeks in
All looking good in terms of res’s so far. Plenty of water intake, well-planned healthy eating and no alcohol consumption. Our daily night walks are only spot-stopping due to the odd joint ache or cold and flu symptoms. Age is ruthlessly unapologetic. It will only give back as much as you put in. Chamomile teaContinue reading “Two weeks in”
Menopausal Monday #9
Self Talk Winter has definitely arrived now. It has even snowed, can you believe it? And it certainly has an effect on our joints. Some of us appear to predict it before it arrives, or maybe it is a housewife’s tale. Personally, I don’t think I do. I have never felt it as bad asContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #9”
Screw blue January
Loving the new background imagery on our laptops. So colourfully warming 🥰 We tend to underestimate the suggestive motivation to work. Weekends, holidays and retirement, that’s what we work for, what we look forward to (unless you have a highly paid fun creative job, of course… 😝). For those billions of us that don’t, weContinue reading “Screw blue January”
Menopausal Monday #8
Self Talk The Christmas tree is now down, meaning this festive season is officially over. But it’s going to take more than the absence of twinkling bright lights to drag me into a blue state. There’s a restlessness left in me that’s pushing me to be optimistic, in spite of all the ongoing bad newsContinue reading “Menopausal Monday #8”
Days 2, 3 and 4
I just asked the start of my year to be gentle. So I tried to be gentle with myself, eating healthy and remembering my water intake (I’m so bad at that!…) To Dry January 🚰 Got a friend’s birthday dinner this week and I am still trying to work out how gently can I disappointContinue reading “Days 2, 3 and 4”
Day 1
Annual clean up Ok, I started the year with a healthy breakfast, my supplements (and paracetamol). Got the drinking out of my system and didn’t even overdo it. What matters is that today and for the remaining 30 days there will be none making its way to my blood stream. The traditional social network cleanContinue reading “Day 1”
Committed
As I promised myself, rekindling my love for reading…
