I periodically wonder what I would do if I didn’t have air conditioner? I know there were times when I didn’t have air conditioner, however that was because the A/C unit was broken! Now that I am going through menopause, the air conditioner plus our zone control are the only things that keep my family wanting to be around me. I am truly angry when the heat flashes occur. I feel as if I am ready to spontaneously combust, plus I feel like the hounds of hell are snapping at my heels. I want to hide plus scream, at the same time, although I can’t do that. It isn’t my family’s fault that I am going through misery. The doctor told me it could last for many months to many years. I periodically yell at my fiance plus tell him not to try to commiserate with me, and he has never been a man, plus that isn’t fair either. He makes sure the air conditioner is running well, plus there is little humidity in the house, but my buddy and I have zone control in the house, plus I can go to my labor room plus relax when the heat flashes come on. I like knowing I can lower the temperature plus it isn’t causing anyone else discomfort. Menopause can’t end soon enough, although I have my air conditioner plus a room to myself, whenever it rears its head plus makes me go crazy. I know my fiance plus family are ecstatic about this. Whenever I go into my private room, whether for the air conditioner or to get away from the noise, no one bothers me.
