Great idea, @dabbe ! I love Melani‘s videos (she makes me laugh— I always have glasses on my head too). Plus reading through what others wrote on Litsy today makes me feel not so alone on this journey. #WDNCW
(Tagged an excellent perimenopause/menopause book I read earlier this year. Highly recommended.)
As a 49 yo woman, I felt that parts of this book were so well written and hilarious, and other parts were so “WTF?”. Like a raunchy comedian who is so funny…and then tells a joke that makes you think “ok, that‘s too far.” I‘m not sure who or if I‘d recommend this, but I flew through it in 24 hours, and am both confused by and understand completely what I just read.
I JUST RECORDED FOR 50 MINUTES. THEN WHEN I WATCHED THE VIDEO BACK MY MIC HAD SWITCHED OFF 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
So I had to do it all over again but EVEN MORE TIRED.
And now it's 2am and I need to edit them so can post on time before Women's Prize announcement.
On the plus side I think I was a lot less rude about some of the books the second time 🤣🤣
pickA book I finished last weekend as I try and read the women's prize shortlist. Interesting to be in the head of a 45 year old artist who hits a mid life crisis as she goes on a cross country drive to NY but stops halfway where she renovates a motel room + has a non consummated sexual encounter with a ynger man. What follows is the exploration of her sexual encounters as she rationalises her life. Its taken me a week to process, + still not sure.
pickThis Canadian doctor is funny and thorough and not patronizing. I was a bit overwhelmed, but the information was useful. I now know what questions to ask my doctor. I would recommend it to anyone currently going through the menopause transition who feels like there's a lot of junk information to sort through.
For anyone else confused or mortified by this whole process, I feel your pain.
