Bras, Boobs and Menopause

Yes, it's a girly post today. Being alone most of the time my mind rambles and comes up with all these ideas to talk about. I even have a notebook I keep my ideas in. Yes, I know, I'm sick and I need help.
Well, on to the topics at hand:
Boobs. Yep, we girls have to deal with our boobs. In our youth they are perky and right where God put em. As we age, and yes, we do age, they tend to kinda do their own thing over the years. When we lose weight they shrink. When we gain weight they grow. And when we are pregnant, well, they shoot oozy stuff right out of em. We have no control over our boobs and what they decide to do. And what is the at home etiquette for the bra. Must I wear one when I'm at home alone? Is there a medical reason that says these critters must be bound at all times? Do they sag more if I don't where a bra while blogging? I don't know the rules but if I find out I'll let ya know.
Menopause SUCKS!!!!! For some it comes late in life, like in their 50's. Me, no way. My body said hell no, lets do it now, we have nothing better to do with our time. So, lets go from head to toe. One morning I woke up with one gray hair. The next morning I looked in the mirror and say they had and bred and mutated all over my head. Talk about a wake up call. That was worse than the Screaming Meanie alarm clock my husband uses. Water retention, constipation and bloating oh joy. Do we have a period this month or not? Who knows. Lets spin the wheel. And the sweating... Ladies, it just doesn't occur at night anymore. Oh now, our menopause is much more advanced than our mothers menopause. Our sweats come on at any given time, leaving us a sloppy and wet mess no matter if we are in church, at the doctors or a black tie dinner. Sweats have a mind of their own, just as everything does with menopause. We are crabby, moody and can't stand any noise louder than complete and utter silence. And yes, sometimes we pee a little when we laugh or cough. Not quite ready for Depends yet but the Poise pads work great. Just look at what our young friends have to look forward to. Enjoy ladies.
