GBS!

Nice! Good quality sleep is underrated. I’ve found that melatonin usually works pretty well for me, but – strangely – only a really small dose.

I keep hoping I’ve finally hit menopause, but I got my period again yesterday. At least they tend to be really light these days.

How are you?

the Psycho theme song, that one was really fun to play!

Oh, ha, I bet! Maybe kinda like the Jaws theme for cello players. :)

I’m kind of an early music nerd (so, Baroque and earlier), but I’m also a walking stereotype so my favorite composer is Bach. :) But I like plenty of other random seeming stuff, I guess. What kind of stuff did you like playing on the violin? I’ve taken a small amount of violin lessons but it’s so hard!

That sounds very nice. I hope the weather had been cooperating!

I mostly study classical music, and that’s probably what I’m most familiar with (except popular music from the '80s). Maybe I’ll venture into jazz or popular music sometime, but jazz intimidates me!

Thank you!

I’ve been studying music theory a bit, which I’m really enjoying.

What about you? What have you been doing for yourself?

Baby!!

Buns!!

I retired last year and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Sweet kitty!

I didn’t really know anything at all. I’d heard a few vague references via mass media to hot flashes, but I don’t remember anyone in my family mentioning it at all. (For context, I was born in '71.)

Hi. I feel like I’ve been having more trouble with brain fog lately. I’m on HRT already, which I think has generally been helpful. I just keep losing words, it seems.

❤️🥚❤️

I’m here!

Wow!

Babby!

Yep, I’m seeing really similar behavior.

Thanks! They turned out… okay. 😂 I hope things pick up around here, too.

It’s a cute little guy!
