Oh, the cookie dough, fuck-it confidence and thresholds! I feel very seen. Add five years, plus many, many post-menopause (although oddly, my body has just recently decided it went through second menopause and reformed itself in a new more apple-y shape that I'm trying very hard not to hate on). The DaVinci Resolve No to Nodes of it all... you're a smart Mint Milano.
My own brain woke up just to read this. All the 1980s movies we grew up with portrayed middle age as a flashy car and/or a shocking haircut, when really they should have been zombie movies. I’m not enjoying my 50s one bit—feels like a second puberty with all of the hormones but none of the energy. Indeed, it’s taken me two days just to write this much. But it was at the top of my to-do list, because you’re a good writer. Looking forward to your next piece.

Thanks Carrie! I’m honored to be associated with such a fine snack. 😊
Your forgetting is so familiar and so funny ! When the to do list gets too long throw it away! Do only what is immediately important.
I can’t because it’s on my phone :). Thanks Mom ❤️
Can really relate!
Thanks Elise!

Thanks CL! And yes, exactly. Maybe in the 80s only men were allowed to have midlife crises, and they had to be fun?
