Me today. Luckily, it all happened in close proximity and it‘s been a less klutzy day since then 😂🤪 #haikuhive #haikuaday

TheBookHippie Menopause=more clumsiness 😵‍💫🫣🤦🏻‍♀️ 18h

CBee @TheBookHippie so funny you commented because 1) this is so true, and 2) I looked up klutz and it comes from the Yiddish word “klots” 😁 18h

TheBookHippie @CBee ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 18h

dabbe Are you just starting menopause, you young thing, you? (quite a person question to ask publicly, but I couldn't resist!) If so, boy are you in for some rollercoaster rides! 🤣😍🤣

P.S. Your words make me giggle but also want to send you a 🤗. #atthesametime! 😍 18h

AmyG I come from a long line of klutzy women. I‘m sorry. Life is hard. (edited) 16h

CBee @dabbe I‘ve been in perimenopause for probably five years now. And nobody EVER prepared me for this dumpster fire!! My body is betraying me, I swear …. But I‘m glad to make you laugh. Gotta do that to keep from crying (or not. Cause crying is just a daily thing now apparently 🤪). (edited) 14h

CBee @AmyG that it is, my friend 🤪😬😂 14h

kezzlou85 @TheBookHippie oh my gosh if menopause makes you clumsier I'm in trouble. I'm so clumsy already. 13h

JenlovesJT47 My inner klutz and I are very well acquainted 😆 all the women in my family suffer from this affliction. Sending hugs 🫂💛🐝🖤 12h

AnnCrystal I was born a klutz 👏🏼🐝👍🏼😂🐝💝. 8h

lil1inblue I feel this! 😂 💛 🐝 💛 3h

dabbe @CBee What the hell does “quite a person question“ mean? This English teacher has gotten lazy! 🤣 Oh, I feel for you! Luckily, my hysterectomy two years ago got rid of all that crap. Matt was a real trooper, too--especially when the crying jags would come out of nowhere. 🤣🥵😍 1h

CBee @dabbe @JenlovesJT47 @AnnCrystal @lil1inblue @TheBookHippie @AmyG @kezzlou85 just to give y‘all a rundown of what happened in less than an hour yesterday morning: I sliced my finger, almost over flowed the toilet, and oh heck, I don‘t even remember the third thing 😂😂😂 1h

CBee @dabbe I knew what you meant 😁 1h

TheBookHippie @kezzlou85 It‘s a whole shit show. 1h

TheBookHippie @kezzlou85 https://bywinona.com/menopause-symptoms/clumsiness 1h

CBee @TheBookHippie a shit show dumpster fire 🤪🤪😂😂 1h

TheBookHippie @CBee and no research. The little bit we had got gutted. 1h

CBee @TheBookHippie I knew nothing until it started happening to me. There is a lot more info now, real info that isn‘t backed by studies that have been debunked and all. 1h

TheBookHippie @CBee I think we should gather symptoms from each other and make a book. 1h

TheBookHippie Also I just knocked my water over.. 1h

dabbe @TheBookHippie Can I join in? 🙋‍♀️ 1h

dabbe @TheBookHippie 🤣 60m

TheBookHippie @dabbe we need a comprehensive list and then mail it out to each other 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🫣😵‍💫🤦🏻‍♀️ 57m

JenlovesJT47 This comment section is hilarious, where‘s my popcorn? 🍿😆 47m

lil1inblue @CBee Also been in perimenopause for the last five years. It took 2 before I realized what was happening. It's so awful and WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME!!!!! (Side note, I now understand why my grandmother and her sisters all had children in their 40s 😂 😜) now

Just a haiku inspired by the constant commercials for different medications. It could help you, or even cure you, but watch out for the crazy amount of side effects including death. It‘s wild 🤦‍♀️😅😮 #haikuaday #haikuhive

CBee @dabbe @Kristy_K @DebinHawaii @TheBookHippie @bellabella @JenlovesJT47 @TheSpineView @lil1inblue @julieclair @Reggie @Eggs @AnnCrystal @BooksandCoffee4Me @vivastory @jdiehr 2w

AmyG Ha, yes….we always chuckle that death could be a side effect. And don‘t take if you are allergic…duh. And…how many times have those stupid jingles gotten stuck in your head? 🤣 2w

TheSpineView So true. 💛🐝💛 2w

JenlovesJT47 Side effects include things that are worse than what you are taking the medication for, including death💀😆. This is funny and so true. 💛🐝🖤 2w

CBee @AmyG oh my gosh, too many times to count - it drives me crazy!!! And it isn‘t just one jingle - there are so many 🤪😅😂 2w

CBee @JenlovesJT47 exactly! Like, this will help you! Unless you die 😂😅🤦‍♀️ 2w

CBee @Eggs exactly! Especially the ones for things like Crohn‘s and anything stomach related - they‘re rock climbing and riding roller coasters! It‘s a miracle 😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 2w

The song “Wolf,” by First Aid Kit, has been in my head this morning, prompting this haiku. Including the link (in comments) for that song plus another I love by Brandi Carlile (Mama Werewolf). #haikuaday #haikuhive

CBee @CSeydel oh Carrie 😢 I‘m so sorry. I agree it feels like no time at all. May is a low month for me as well, Mother‘s Day, then the anniversary of her death, so I get it. I do hope you can find peace somehow even though you weren‘t on good terms ♥️♥️ 3w

Eggs Absolutely agree 💯 Love the haiku AND the background❣️ 4w

Reggie I like this so much. I felt like I fell into the water after that last line. 4w

CBee @Eggs it was meant to be because the background is a PicCollage collection called “haiku patterns” 😊 4w

CBee @Reggie thank you! I feel like that‘s what I meant to convey - sort of a letting go and being free. But be sure you have a life jacket 😂 4w

Eggs @CBee Wow! How serendipitous! 4w

These little wrens are some of our favorite birds. I discovered a pair building a nest in a hanging plant - so far, no eggs, but apparently they build multiple nests and then choose the best one. Still hopeful! Such spunky little friends. #haikuaday #haikuhive
