I guess I just need to get used to it. I suppose this will help me with patience as well. I don't know exactly when they started because I've been having night sweats for a year or so now...but day time hot flashes suck. My dry cleaning bill has gone up as a result of this. I'm fearful to even put on a turtleneck. ;-) Oh well, only 5 more years by my investigation. It's only been 3 1/2 months, I have a way to go. The hot flashes don't affect me in a bad way and I'm quite sure that no one even knows when I'm having one. Sure I perspire but you won't catch me fanning myself or giving it away by shedding clothes. One thing I have realized is that I have not ever noticed anyone having a hot flash unless they totally give it away. So there it is. Menopause. And I have decided to make it my new best friend. :) I think this is best.
I found out this past week that I only need 3 classes to go to grad school! I'm taking an Internet class next semester (I hope) and then reapply for grad school next fall. I don't know how long this will take but it doesn't matter. This is my path and between us I never thought in a million years this would happen. Okay, technically it hasn't happened yet but I have a goal. I continually amaze myself. Some days I wish I had this opportunity to go to grad school when I was younger. It's not just the opportunity to go to grad school but also the confidence that I can actually do this. Life is very good!

You don't sweat, flash or perspire. But you do have a beautiful glow that comes upon you at rather odd times. TTF
