It all started about 12 years ago.
It was insidious at first. A few instances of m asking a question out loud when no one else was present and then having the answer come out of my mouth as well.
My Mom was still alive at that time and she would chuckle when I mentioned this occurrence and say, “Your talking to yourself…and you’re answering yourself. We all do it as we get older. As time passes you will talk more to yourself than to any other person.”
Oh well. This has turned out to be true! It has been day after day of me muttering to me all day long.
When my daughters observe and comment, I simply say, “I Love talking to myself and value my own opinion”.LOL
But now…..this other person has been getting spirited. Debates are more likely than not. Indecision instead of validation. And then this past month…..Well I know exactly what I/She has been up to.
I/She has been taking things…my things, my husband’s things, all kind of things, and I/She has been hiding them somewhere. I/She has been unable to locate so many things at this point that my hubby thinks that there is a real possibility of a Black Hole existing in our house somewhere!
So today I confronted Her/Me. “We have to learn to communicate “ I say. She/Me turned a deaf ear to I/She. No response. Sure…..after hiding all my stuff She/Me decides to shut up.
Menopause….It’s a Wonderful Time of Life!
