Look, you're adorable, the new hair looks great, and remember, on the other side of menopause women report their highest levels of happiness and life satisfaction! Hang in there, you're a diamond xxxxx
And I get it... and I'm sorry life is not going 💯 well right now. I've thought those same thoughts about me & my body FOR well over 50 years & finally (for me) becoming very unwell & then getting cancer (now well) left me with the body look that I couldn't get before. It's weird how we are with like/dislike of appearance etc! We are "our worst critics" .. Your hair looks great as do you! And onward is all I can say... take care! You are so worth it! D x
My latest pain in the ass thing that I do, that is completely annoying the crap out of me and I don't even know how annoying I am for everyone else :
I keep getting worked up and so freaking angry over stupid things that shouldn't affect me. Like someone using our driveway to park for a delivery (we share a long driveway with 4 houses). They are blocking the drive for probably not even 5 minutes but it irritated me no end!
It's so stupid but I can get SO angry about it. This is ridiculous. I think I need to get out of the house more. Except I work from home full time, and my office looks out onto the dreaded driveway :D
Also, I love a good brain dump - I read it all, R.
I hope it has lessened your mental load even just 1%.
Hey R, sounds like you’ve been looking after yourself well during a rough time, looking after your stress levels, digestion, and sleep. Not to mention the new hair! Was it fun to do? Looks great! (Now I wanna see your blonde curls too)
You aren’t shallow, it’s ok to care about your appearance my friend. The changing body and face stuff in our 40s IS hard.
I loved Jodi’s list too. So timely for me.
Hope your weekend isn’t all mud and rain, and you can put your feet up in front of a fire with a good book. Have a good one xx
It was fun to do! I liked looking different & feeling fresh.
I wonder why I think caring makes me shallow….but it does. I feel like I shouldn’t care at 46 but here I am, caring & hating hard! Yesterday I was almost in tears with how frustrated I felt with myself.

I want it to stop now. I know nobody cares but me I just wish I didn’t.
I hope over time this will ease for you, lots of love xx
Big love and lots of gentleness for you Reannon. I hope the brain dump has helped.
I think your hair looks drop dead gorgeous.
Thank you x
Geez middle-adulthood sucks sometimes, right?!

I think you sound completely normal. Believe me, I have my good and my bad days!!
Something to look forward to perhaps? - Brad Pitt in F1?!! (Showing my age here ha ha)
Can’t wait for that!!!!
