Me today. Luckily, it all happened in close proximity and it‘s been a less klutzy day since then 😂🤪 #haikuhive #haikuaday

TheBookHippie Menopause=more clumsiness 😵‍💫🫣🤦🏻‍♀️ 2d
CBee @TheBookHippie so funny you commented because 1) this is so true, and 2) I looked up klutz and it comes from the Yiddish word “klots” 😁 2d

dabbe Are you just starting menopause, you young thing, you? (quite a person question to ask publicly, but I couldn't resist!) If so, boy are you in for some rollercoaster rides! 🤣😍🤣

P.S. Your words make me giggle but also want to send you a 🤗. #atthesametime! 😍

AmyG I come from a long line of klutzy women. I‘m sorry. Life is hard. (edited) 2d
CBee @dabbe I‘ve been in perimenopause for probably five years now. And nobody EVER prepared me for this dumpster fire!! My body is betraying me, I swear …. But I‘m glad to make you laugh. Gotta do that to keep from crying (or not. Cause crying is just a daily thing now apparently 🤪). (edited) 2d
CBee @AmyG that it is, my friend 🤪😬😂 2d
kezzlou85 @TheBookHippie oh my gosh if menopause makes you clumsier I'm in trouble. I'm so clumsy already. 2d
JenlovesJT47 My inner klutz and I are very well acquainted 😆 all the women in my family suffer from this affliction. Sending hugs 🫂💛🐝🖤 2d
AnnCrystal I was born a klutz 👏🏼🐝👍🏼😂🐝💝. 2d
lil1inblue I feel this! 😂 💛 🐝 💛 2d
dabbe @CBee What the hell does “quite a person question“ mean? This English teacher has gotten lazy! 🤣 Oh, I feel for you! Luckily, my hysterectomy two years ago got rid of all that crap. Matt was a real trooper, too--especially when the crying jags would come out of nowhere. 🤣🥵😍 2d
CBee @dabbe @JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal @lil1inblue @TheBookHippie @AmyG @kezzlou85 just to give y‘all a rundown of what happened in less than an hour yesterday morning: I sliced my finger, almost over flowed the toilet, and oh heck, I don‘t even remember the third thing 😂😂😂 2d
CBee @dabbe I knew what you meant 😁 2d
TheBookHippie @kezzlou85 It‘s a whole shit show. 2d
CBee @TheBookHippie a shit show dumpster fire 🤪🤪😂😂 2d
TheBookHippie @CBee and no research. The little bit we had got gutted. 2d
CBee @TheBookHippie I knew nothing until it started happening to me. There is a lot more info now, real info that isn‘t backed by studies that have been debunked and all. 2d
TheBookHippie @CBee I think we should gather symptoms from each other and make a book. 2d
TheBookHippie Also I just knocked my water over.. 2d
dabbe @TheBookHippie Can I join in? 🙋‍♀️ 2d
TheBookHippie @dabbe we need a comprehensive list and then mail it out to each other 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🫣😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️ 2d
JenlovesJT47 This comment section is hilarious, where‘s my popcorn? 🍿😆 2d
lil1inblue @CBee Also been in perimenopause for the last five years. It took 2 before I realized what was happening. It's so awful and WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME!!!!! (Side note, I now understand why my grandmother and her sisters all had children in their 40s 😂 😜) 2d
AnnCrystal @CBee 😳🙏🏼😂🤐😉💝💝💝. 2d
kezzlou85 @TheBookHippie thank you for this. It was really interesting to read. I have been wondering if I might be heading for perimenopause. 1d
dabbe @lil1inblue @CBee @TheBookHippie I swear during my first hot flash, where you literally break out in an instant sweat EVERYWHERE, I thought I was having a heart attack. And a panic attack. Everything Everywhere All at Once! 🤣 1d
dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Just you wait, sassy lassie! 🤣 1d
TheBookHippie @lil1inblue I had a menopause baby! 1d
TheBookHippie @kezzlou85 I swear you think you‘re insane and then realise it‘s menopause. And no one told you. 1d
TheBookHippie @dabbe OMG THE HEAT in the middle of the night SO AWFUL. I could fry an egg on myself. FYI Uterus pulled in 2009 😵‍💫🫣 left one ovary. 1d
lil1inblue @TheBookHippie My mom was a menopause baby. Her sisters weren't allowed to tell anyone my grandma was pregnant because my grandma didn't want anyone to know she still had S. E. X. And then, all 3 of her sisters had menopause babies, too. 🤣🤣🤣 Those hormones go crazy in more ways than one! 1d
lil1inblue @dabbe I woke up one random morning literally drenched in sweat. It was early in the pandemic, so I started freaking out that I had a fever, and my anxiety took over from there. 1d
dabbe @TheBookHippie That's right, you did! 😳😲🤩 1d
dabbe @TheBookHippie They took everything. My ovaries were never any use to me anyway--except to make the female “stuff“ a pain in the ass--I mean vagina! 🤣 1d
dabbe @lil1inblue Amen, sista! And your grandma sounds like a hoot! 😍 1d
dabbe @lil1inblue You literally have no friggin' idea what is happening to you! It's like you're not even a part of your body, and it's betraying you! 1d
CBee @TheBookHippie oh no 😂😂😂 I spill something on the daily, I think 🤪🤪 1d
CBee @TheBookHippie @dabbe I‘m down! Let‘s start a menopause letter writing thing. 1d
CBee @lil1inblue nobody told me. I was gobsmacked. Still am to be honest. I remember my mom having crazy hot flashes and moodiness - but she was always emotional and prone to moodiness like me! Didn‘t think it was anything different. NOW I KNOW 🤦‍♀️🙄😅😬😂 1d
CBee @lil1inblue two words: tubal ligation. I had two kiddos and that was it. I couldn‘t even imagine having one now 😳😳 1d
CBee @dabbe 😂😂😂😂 1d
CBee @kezzlou85 the menopause sub on Reddit has been AMAZING for me. So helpful and informative. And lots of support from ladies going through the same! 1d
kezzlou85 @TheBookHippie that makes sense. So many things you just assume are something else and then start to wonder if maybe it's not 1d
kezzlou85 @CBee thank you I will check that out. 1d
TheBookHippie @CBee they told me I‘d never have children. They lied 🤣🙃. 22h
CBee @TheBookHippie they had no idea 😂😂 19h
dabbe @TheBookHippie Like the force of nature that you are, you proved them WRONG! 😍🤩😘 16h

5⭐️ & 5😭 four minute I was like, yes!, Because I really thought I got out of that unscathed. Yeah I was wrong. This is booked three of the Before The Coffee Gets Cold series, and I can honestly say that I have not had a dry eye in the three that I‘ve read so far. It‘s touching, heartfelt and just emotionally damaging, but in a best way. I absolutely love the series and I will continue to read them as long as the author continues to release them.

I loved that 📕 by one of Japan‘s most famous female writers. The co-existence of four women (wife servants concubines etc) in a bourgeois family during the Meiji area. The interactions are observed and described with minutiae giving the main characters a deep humanity. Very beautiful and delicately written. The ending was a stark contrast (no spoilers).

Did you ever want to be a tour guide in another country? Did you ever want to be one for the not so family friendly side of this country? Well, this book might change your mind. This book was a perfect with the idea of “What could happen if the tourists you‘re dealing with… might be something he isn‘t?” A quick slow burn. I recommend reading it at a least once.

This one is about 1/3 fiction (the folk tales) and 2/3 nonfiction… so I‘m running with it as nonfiction.
