Thanks to the hormonal fluctuations...

...associated with "Women of MY age," If you were to plot out my mood-swings in any given week it would look like a Richter Scale reading from The Great 1906 San Francisco Earthquake...or perhaps something drawn with a giant spirograph set. Don't know why I felt compelled to tell you so...but sometimes it is just good to know these things.

You've just given me another website idea. A lot of sites (well ok myspace) let you specify your current mood when you're posting. But I don't know any place that plots these over time. That could be interesting to look at. 'Today probably wouldn't be a good day for witty comment... she's swinging negative again....'.

You don't need a "regimen" you need a nice glass of vino!

No really I'm not here to dish out advice, just HELLO EVERYBODY!

Shelli said...

vino does work wonders!

From an ol' warhorse ....

1. go get some exercise - ride a bike, go swimming, take a walk, go jog-a-walking - anything to get up off your you-know-what!

2. don't go dancing/drinking/luxuriating with the mood - step outside it and tell it to go to hell and to leave you alone.
