Because Mad Cow was already taken! I know I'm getting a little older. But really, it is just a little, right? I'm starting to notice signs that point to this phenomenon. Not just the obvious ones like falling asleep on the couch and yelling at neighborhood kids to, "Get off of my lawn!" No, these are more disturbing. Case in point. I've noticed that for a day or two each month I literally feel dazed and confused, struggling to answer even the simplest of questions. I know it's hormonal, but knowing why doesn't fix it. This period of confusion is always followed by a few days of amazing mental clarity. Problems I've had for weeks are suddenly easily solved. I'm very aware of everything around me, I'm able to remember well, it's incredible. Then that goes away and I'm back to my normal self. Whatever that is. I don't remember always being this way. This just started 2 years ago or so. Today I feel lost and disconnected from everything. Not lonely or depressed, don't confuse the feeling with that. Everything's just, well, fuzzy. I know that's not a good word, it's all I can come up with. I wonder if men experience anything comparable? Are they able to appreciate why women act the way they do for a few days a month? Or do they think we act this way on purpose? Will this eventually go away? And if so, what remains? The confusion, the clarity, or just the normal me? So anyway, if you have any questions for me, don't ask me until tomorrow.
