Menopause Brain

Oh I hate this!! I fixed dinner tonight and put it in the oven only to have Rick tell me I had forgotten to turn the oven on! A week or so ago, I put rice in the rice cooker and forgot to turn it on. My brain is just so dang forgetful these days it makes me crazy. Not to mention I am a royal B lately! Urghhh. Do I go on estrogen and risk cancer or do I just live like this? This process takes year, will my brain get worse??

Sunday

Today we went to the NICU reunion at the hospital Katie was born at. It was nice to see all the nurses who took so good care of her when she was there. We skipped church due to the party. Hannah has a sleepover last night and had a great time. She is not cranky so that is a good sign. Katie is always cranky after she sleeps over. Rest of the day has been relaxing. We took the leftovers from Aunt Virginia's estate to good will - we are done. No more garage sales and I will never have one again. I can finally park in my garage for the first time in a month - yipee!!

This week

Finally got around to posting pics from the DNC. Friday afternoon I got a phone call that one of my best friends sons passed away. What a shock - he was only 26. He had been sick but no one expected him to die. These last few days have been nothing but a blur. Went to the viewing tonight and it was just so sad. I just broke down and sobbed. Christine is doing so bad and so is her whole family. My heart just hurts so bad for her. The funeral is Friday and she will need to learn how to cope without him in her life. I know how hard this is going to be for her. I just wish I could take this pain away from her.
