As far as I can tell, the combination of prolonged stress + perimenopause + salty snacks + that time of the month. Because of the stress (an ice storm, with big trees falling and a three-day power outage, lots of missed sleep, then flooding and tornadoes, woo!), all my progesterone got turned into cortisol, which means I get inflamed and can't regulate fluids quite right. (Admittedly, I'm kind of a freak, but this probably also affects other women to some extent.)

No biggie, I'll cut out the salt and carbs and just, ah, pee a lot. But, dang. Annoying.

If you want to see me cry at the drop of a pin, what for "that time of the month" and watch the flood!
Kayla knows what I am talking about, poor thing has seen me wailing.

Anyway, it's snowing here!!! YEAH!!!
now I have to bring the darn cat to the vet for shots, driving in snow like this, oh I just want to start cring!

I generally try to ignore it when it's that time of the month... although the day before, I can get REALLY witchy and/or emotional...
