So apparently another added bonus to this night sweat thing is that I got to forget how to talk. Like, if you've had your shoulders your whole life, shouldn't you know what their called? And really, losing yourself in an OCD world during yoga is insane. Like, does it really matter all that much if I can't figure out how to do tree & dancer in all 4 corners? OMG. What a week.
I'm seriously worried about not being able to do my job. Thank God my students are forgiving souls. As Laverne said, "We like it when you do yoga with us and mess up cause it makes us feel like we don't look so bad....." Glad I could be of some service. LOL! I've been following my doctor's advice and actually doing more yoga which has been really fun for me, but I suspect not so great for my students who are looking for professionalism....Having a hot flash in the middle of a pose makes it a bit difficult to stay connected to the moment of peace. Especially when the only thought in your head is "Holy Mother of Zeus, it's hot as Hades in here!!!!!" That's a pretty far cry from "breathe in, breathe out, relax on the exhale".....
Went to Bowie's graduation on Wednesday to see my almost daughter graduate. Became rapidly convinced of the total breakdown of society. I mean, am I old fashioned because I believe that when a speaker is talking, it is rude and disrespectful to shout out the names of your kid who can't hear you anyway? And since when did it become okay to have a loud conversation on your cell phone during a public event when you sitting right next to people? I won't even start on the 2 men in back of me who felt it was important that I and everyone know how they got tickets to the event and how drunk they were the night before. No wonder the children act out.....
I know, I know, I'm getting old. I just kept thinking that if it was my kid up there being valedictorian or MC, that I would be really upset that I couldn't hear a word. And then I had a hot flash.
I'm getting Fios today. Wish me luck.
I'm working on the newsletter. Geeesh. Should I change the times of yoga?
I get my Reiki II tomorrow. I'm worried because when I do Reiki, my hands and sometimes my whole body gets hot, like Lori says "did it hurt when you stuck your hands in the microwave?" If I have a hot flash while I'm doing Reiki will I just incinerate on the spot? Big white flash......gone......
Do I seem a bit obsessive to you? Is that just another joy to look forward to?
Don't even mention the irritability to me. It just gets on my nerves.

Not OCD at all.
I was there. People were amazingly rude. But since I was a teacher in the system not long ago, I was not surprised. But now my kids think this is the norm.
When I went to college at Kent State, which has the Golden Flashes as their mascot, my favorite cheer was
"Menopause! Menopause!
Get - Hot - Flashes!"
So see, you are just a living cheer!
