This became a separate post once I started writing about menopause, and it went on and on and on. I hope it helps educate you and makes the medical community aware in general of the many symptoms and issues arising from perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause. I’ll keep it separate from my other posts and updateContinue reading “Menopause Diary—The Beginning Basics”

Pandemic Diary—Stir Fry recipe, Friendly Atheists, Abortion Support, Jimmy Carter
On my stir fry recipe: I boil ¼ cup of brown/wild rice. I also boil a small chicken thigh (I like dark meat). While the rice and chicken are doing its thing, for ten minutes, I chop up some veggies into a small to medium-sized bowl (reminder: menopausal moderation, which means don’t overeat no matterContinue reading “Pandemic Diary—Stir Fry recipe, Friendly Atheists, Abortion Support, Jimmy Carter”
Pandemic Diary—NY Times, Sweating, Women Leaders, Christian Revisionism, Menopause
On the NY Times: I think I’m already done with that NY Times subscription. They keep sliding to and appeasing the far right socially and fiscally under the guise of the middleground, a faux liberalism, and free press. It reeks of bias and pandering to certain imperious and arbitrary powers instead of the facts andContinue reading “Pandemic Diary—NY Times, Sweating, Women Leaders, Christian Revisionism, Menopause”
Pandemic Diary—Listening, Triggers, Heavy Metal Music, Indoctrination
On listening: Someone I highly admire recommended a podcast they were on—I listened and wish I had that hour back. The host kept interrupting and using the dreaded ‘I’ this and ‘I’ that—yes, narcissism, what a shock for a podcaster←irony. The connection was bad and you couldn’t hear or understand what the guest was sayingContinue reading “Pandemic Diary—Listening, Triggers, Heavy Metal Music, Indoctrination”
Pandemic Diary—What I’m Reading & Watching, On Kindle Search
On Kindle Search: I’ve had a Kindle in some form since the second generation of Kindles and my complaint has always been the same even more so since recently—the Kindle Library search sucks. I would like to be able to search by page numbers and genres and series, etc., but search is still so rudimentaryContinue reading “Pandemic Diary—What I’m Reading & Watching, On Kindle Search”
Pandemic Diary—What I’m Listening To
On Listening to Sean Illing and The Gray Area): The Church of the Celebrity was really good. Men and Boys are Struggling had me rolling my eyes—feminists want gender equality and have been conveying that in like forever; are men not listening unless other men tell them? Don’t @ me—that was hypothetical. A Veteran ReporterContinue reading “Pandemic Diary—What I’m Listening To”
Pandemic Diary—On Being Blonde, Age, Beauty Standards, etc.
On being blonde: Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom wrote this essay in the NY Times about the social status of blonde. As always, her knowledge and wit combined with her empathy and writing skills, transform her subject into a clarity of self-examination and a philosophical treatise on beauty and social status. She’s masterful at cracking andContinue reading “Pandemic Diary—On Being Blonde, Age, Beauty Standards, etc.”
