One hot mama

As you may have guessed, I ain't no spring chicken.  I ain't no boiler hen either.  I'm somewhere in between.  And it has put me in the hot seat.  

Those older than me would try to explain what this phenomenon was.  The feeling of intense heat at some very random times - and most certainly at night.  Yes, hot flashes.  

I remember jokingly replying that I looked forward to the day because I have been cold all my life due to low blood pressure and metabolism.  Well that day has come.  

What does it feel like?  It feels like that 'click' when you know the furnace is going to fire up.  Something internally happens and 'WHOOSH'.  Instant heat.  

Is it troubling?  Not really.  I know what is happening.  In fact, more than once I have found it terribly amusing since my body has never thought of itself as a 'hottie'.  Now it thinks so at very random times.  Good thing I get to experience this in the middle of a cold winter!


Ed note:  hopefully this isn't TMI...
