HORROR STORIES
Oh, Joy: Perimenopause Can Make You Stink, Too ([link removed])

I’ve got a very vivid perimenopause horror story for you today, so get excited. Alisa Kennedy Jones writes: “I was in the car with my bestie, Merridy, when it hit. Something — someone — absolutely reeked. I’d just showered. I discreetly sniffed my pits and got a hint of powdery scent. Still, the smell of musky-cheese-poop was enough to melt my glasses right off my face. It was the worst BO I’d ever experienced in my life, and I’d grown up with seriously stinky brothers who, to this day, still reek of filthy jockstraps and overcooked Brussels sprouts. This was much worse.”

It wasn’t road kill, or a weeks-long sanitation workers’ strike. It was her best bud. And this is how they both learned about one of the many fun side effects that possibly await us all as we approach perimenopause. You’ll definitely want to read this one, and maybe stock up on some extra-strength deodorant.

WE'LL MISS YOU
It’s Hard To Say Goodbye To Teachers ([link removed])

“The end of the school year is rapidly approaching, and it’s thrown the kids — and me! — into a vortex of mixed emotions,” writes Christina Crawford today. Why’s that? “The last day is always so fun, full of parties ([link removed]) and celebrations for completing another grade, but there’s also a slight sense of melancholy hanging over everything. That’s because time with our beloved teachers is also wrapping up. And it’s always so hard to give that final hug on the last day.” And so she’s got a lovely tribute to the folks who make it all happen for our kids, every day. Give it a read.
