I can't remember the last time I wore a long sleeve shirt. Although I really never really cared for sleeves it has been a very long time since I wore one. When the hot flashes started I really put any long sleeved shirts in retirement.
So, today my mom hands me one of her many catalogs that seem to arrive in the mail box daily. I took it flipped through it and my mom said oh there are some nice blouses and shirts in there hinting in s not so subtle way that I should perhaps more shirts other then my sleeveless regulars I wear daily. Maybe she's tired of looking at me wearing the same type of shirts or maybe she's tired of looking at my chubby arms whatever the case may be she folded over certain pages for me to look at. Ten pages total all long sleeves.
I tried to explain to her that 99% of the time my body temperature is hot due to menopause. She just sort of smiled and asked did I see the purple blouse on page 13. I know she heard me tell her about menopause but I guess her generation never really talked about it and she wasn't about to start now.
I told her maybe after the summer I would take another look when it the weather got cooler. Who knows maybe I will be cooler too.
