Get a grip (Swiss Hero)

To distinguish between us, I will now be known as Swiss Hero, Jean as Angry Girl. Tonight, I’m home alone. Jean is gone, but there's still Swiss chocolate left, so she'll be back.
Fear not. The blog lives on. We’ve gotten so many positive comments, we have to. Even if part of the action is in Colorado. (This is an international blog.). Plus, we still have a lot to tell you about the Center, realizing that we neglected to mention the smell. The putrid smell that eminates the hallway and sometimes seeps up into our apartment. The many occasions when I was unable to find my key have been rather unpleasant. We light scented candles when we watch TV. And why, we don't know, but they keep their front door open all...the....time. We wouldn't deprive you of this information, no siree.
Jean just informed me that she's doing well having consumed a bottle of wine and watching American Idol. On my end, things are not so good: having run out of wine, I’m drinking “GET A GRIP” tea - an herbal infusion for menopause. At 31 I am exhibiting symptoms of menopause. It began when I decided that the agonizing pain in my left ovary was worth a visit to my gynecologist, and suddenly my life was fast-forwarded. Thankfully, the doctor saved all my parts, but to control the problem, she injected me with a good dose of hormones that put me in a state of menopause. Next thing I know, I’m taking “Angelic” – estrogen pills (who came up with that name?) so I don’t get hot flashes – and I feel like crying, laughing, crying, laughing, crying, crying – all in the same minute.
I pursued the natural path and bought calcium to prevent osteoporosis, vitamins because I feel sooooo tired, and of course, some GET A GRIP tea. On the box: “Women are complex creatures (creatures???!!!), often ruled by delicate balance of hormones, but when those hormones are out of balance, or monthly blues cramp your style, it’s reassuring to know you can get a grip with a simple cup of this herbal tea.” And finally, “So sip, and remember: balance is beautiful.” So yes, I’m sipping and I’m thinking this had to be written by a guy.
If I snap, if I cry over a movie, our blog, a song, a picture, a commercial, grocery shopping, walking to my car; or, if I get ecstatic over something mundane, it’s the hormones at work. But be assured that I’m doing everything I can not to be a b*tch with GET A GRIP and staying cool with Angelic. And let's remember, balance is beautiful.
