Girlfriend Notes

There is one thing that I have realised about this perimenopause thing, you must find a way to cope.   And, you may have to try multiple coping mechanisms to find that happy medium.   But, there must also be a recognition that any coping mechanism may also be temporary. This is just the way it is. My latest ailment is my 'creaking' knees.  Climbing stairs are a painful exercise.   As a dancer in a previous life, athlete and generally active individual, I've lost coordination.  My exercise routine looks 'off-rhythm', and it's laughable, and it's ok. As a perimenopausal woman, I have come to terms with the fact that, I no longer walk, run or even dance coordinated.  I'm a literal mess, where coordination is concerned but I am choosing to focus on the things that I can still manage. So am I coping? Maybe, somewhat!
