I went back to wearing two jackets and two pairs of socks in my house. I haven’t been able to bring myself to put on a second pair of pants. I just can’t go that far.
I’m not really warm with the extra layers but at least I’m not shivering so badly that I’m double typing every other letter.
Stupid weather is stupid.
Stupid hot flashes are equally stupid.
They cause me to want to strip off the layers but when I do, I find myself freezing my ass off again five minutes later. It’s a constant — put on the jackets, take off the jackets, put on the jackets, take off the jackets sort of thing.
Even more frustrating because I often take my jackets off and walk away and then have to figure out where I left them when I’m cold again five minutes later.
Today is stupid.
I get it. Totally. Eventually the flashing calms down and it’s just intermittent. Are you sleeping ok at night? That was my biggest grump during perimenopause, I had to get up several times at night to change from sweats after flashing…
