Just a regular Wednesday

Hunched over the sink just trying to brush my teeth before work when a hot flash so intense I have to whip open the bathroom window to let the 19 degree morning air blow onto me. Sometimes it is while I’m doing my hair, sometimes it’s while I’m trying to put eye liner on, other times I’m just sitting there doing nothing.

I never imagined that this would be my normal morning when I imagined how I would be 3 weeks before turning 35. In the scheme of things that have happened the last 2 years surgical menopause and hot flashes aren’t a big deal... unless you’re in the middle of one at that exact moment. Then it’s a sweaty, uncomfortable, disgustingly big deal.

Nobody hug me for a minute. I need to dry off.
