Fall 2012 #12: The Chill
I've been having some brain problems lately. Forgetting which week we're in. Sending emails out to the entire district, accidentally.
When i called my doctor to find out if I'm in menopause or not, the nurse told me I was in "menopausal levels" and that I should call my doctor tomorrow. So when I got home tonight there was this weird message from my doctor saying that he wanted to talk to me and that I should call sometime soon. His last words were, "You'll be okay." WTH??????? Now I have to think all night long about how I probably will not be okay. Whatever, doctor. But next time, think it through. Anyway, I think I might be able to blame my frequent memory lapses on menopause. We may never know.
The brain issues could also be related to work. We're all so frazzled at artful school, trying to figure out how to get so much stuff done when there's always more piling up. I have to say though there's always someone popping in to have a chat, kids hugging me as I breeze by in the hallway, people expressing thanks for even the smallest gestures of help. Lots of resilience. Lots of kindness. I wouldn't be anywhere else. I just hope my brain lapses fade as I gracefully age. So fall, so good.

As far as memory loss, I think it probably has more to do with NCTE presentations and other activities.

Of course I was freaking out, BUT I talked to him at last yesterday around 10pm and he said I'm in menopause, but it's hard to tell. I might still have one or two eggs. Is that odd or what?
But I'm going to call him in 2 months if I'm doing a lot of "flashing and flushing." Where do they get these odd expressions?
I'm not a fan of Twim Bings, but hubby sure loves them!
