"It's super cloudy, almost foggy today and we've been having hot weather, how strange. My husband is holed up in his office with the heat blowing. I swear it's ninety degrees in there. I'm hot all the time, and he's cold all the time. Things used to be the other way around. It's not THAT cold this morning, he could put on a sweater!"After posting about menopause this made me laugh. For some reason couples seem to have this temperature dance throughout their domestic years. Have you ever noticed? If you want the windows open at night your partner wants them closed. While you go about freezing and piling on sweaters your partner is running around naked or close to it.
And then, sometime, after you hit 40 or so, you hit menopause and all hell breaks loose! And what does your partner do? They flip too and start having cold flashes!
It made me wonder, is this a medical phenomenon or is it just that couples seem to like the temperature dance? Which made me laugh again and remember the old saying "Dildo's don't dance."
They don't care if you're having a hot flash either!
The Heat Wave/Cold Front has taken over my household as well. I keep the thermostat between 66-70 degrees---which is perfectly normal as far as I'm concerned but my poor hubby has to walk around in sweatshirts and long johns just to feel like it's above freezing.
ReplyDeleteI have been know to stick my entire upper body in the fridge during a particularly nasty hot flash.
ReplyDeleteThis year the hormones have added another little twist - I get a chill right after a flash.
I don't even have to have a partner to have a temperature dance anymore!
