Correction

My friend Marg reminded me today I was only 43. I will not be 44 until the end of May.

Stop exaggerating, she warned. Don’t make yourself bigger than you are or older than you are.

Does this mean I can take ten pounds off my weight when I go to the doctors next? I mean, I don’t want to over-emphasize the unnecessary…

I stand corrected. I am 43 years old.

Still perimenopausal, mind you, but only 43.

Normal. Stay normal. Not more than, not less than, just who I am.

This is going to be an interesting process for me.
