You Won't Bee-lieve What Worked for Me

source You know how women older than you would always say "just you wait" referring to menopause?  (Heck, perimenopause wasn't even discussed or considered real 20+ years ago!) "Wait for what?" you wondered. Eluding that it was so much more than hot flashes but never telling you what that was.  Well I'm here to warn you up and comers what one of those things is...pit stank.  That's a big one they don't warn you about with fluctuating hormones in your 30's-50's depending on when perimenopause hits you.   They don't tell you how your tried and true deodorant  will fail you within hours if you're lucky and will need to be reapplied.  Don't even bother with the clinical versions that used to work for you because the hormonal hellscape that has become your body now laughs at them.  Natural deodorants you used to use on light loafing around the house days?   source Because you still want people in your household to want to sit near y...

Hump Day Poll: Warning Labels

If I came with a warning label, what would it say?  I have so many but this is the most important one for me.


When we go on vacation, that time is considered sacred to me.  We need to recharge and that isn't going to happen if we're answering emails, texts or phone calls.  (The only exception I made was in October when my friend's mom died the day before we left.  I kept in touch with her, made arrangements for flowers,  had to deal with florist issues, and checked in with her a day or two after the service.)

I now make it clear when I book a place that we unplug so after initial check-in day,  and I will not be available unless we have an issue until check out day.  The last guy we rented from (who I should've slammed hard in a review) had a problem with this and had the nerve to ding me in his review of me as a guest.  Communication: 3 stars.  How about we talk about your 6 glaring safety issues and the fact that after check out time you wanted me to drag a full, stinky 90-gallon trash can that hadn't been emptied in weeks down your long gravel driveway in the pounding rain.  Kiss my ass, sir. 

Whoops...got off track.  Maybe my label should be "we're all good if you're not an unreasonable douche."

If you came with a warning label, what would it say?

    Yeah that pretty much sums up my warning label. I have been lucky in that work tends to leave me alone on vacations but I believe that is because of how I made it clear it was not an option. I will continue that mindset in the new position too. It is all about teaching them how to treat you.

    A few that come to mind are:
    "If I Threw You a Going Away Party, Would You?"
    and
    "Does Not Give Advice and Does Not Ask For It."
    and
    "Focused on My Own Expectations, Not Concerned with Yours."
