Melistress of the Dark

Husband contacts me with grievances from work “I’m sorry honey. Want to come knife drinking?”

At WEM with friends. We weren’t sure if we should shop for knives first and then drink or drink and then shop for knives.

Me neither.

Sigh peri-menopause. Thanks autocarrot.

Chronic UTIs since my early 40s (so around the start of my period-menopause). One put me in the hospital. I have some antibiotic meds to take “as needed” now.

I’m also a little less sensitive than the average person in that way.

Mine aren’t graphic either.

Oh no! I’m so sorry.

Bald women and femmes are gorgeous, pass it on.

I have to wonder what chaos ensued up there.

Today in our Mexican adventures we got off the elevator on our sixth floor and watched as a raccoon made his way into the elevator and up the wall as the lady with us screamed and jumped out. The elevator was headed to the 7th floor rooftop pool. The lady who jumped out went up there anyway.

The waves knocked me over and my dress is soaked.

That moment when you try to take an influencer style photo in Puerto Vallarta and you are reminded that that your body is 52 and you are old and influencer style photos hurt.

It hit 10°c here today.

Yay! I love their little flowers.

Congratulations on all your hard work! You’ve got this.

I know a few of you. It is difficulty for all of you. It hurts my heart for you.

Any chance your parents can come this way instead?

I’m sorry honey. This is so awful for Americans living abroad.

Oh Jesus. If you want a recommendation, Catherine at Pivotal Physiotherapy is awesome.

I'm devastated. Absolutely devastated.

An empty nest means David got to set up his music studio again. Is that a theremin I hear?

It feels so hopeless when you know they won’t listen anyway. We are dealing with deaf ears here in Alberta too.
