Milk in the cupboard, cornflakes in the 'frig. Women of 'a certain age' find these moments infinitely amusing...and definitely scary. Are we overwhelmed, inattentive, or just moseying on down the road to dementia?
I'm an aging female internist, and I invite you to share your own menopause moments, or just take a moment to read stories and information from my life, my practice, and the latest from the world of medical research.

My cup runneth over, as doth my coffee pot...
Again. Dang, did it again, twice in as many months. Turned the coffee maker on, but alas, no carafe beneath. Went upstairs, checked e-mail, plucked my eyebrows a bit, found my watch, made the bed, and moseyed downstairs to the smell of burned coffee which had overflowed the basket, on to the hot plate, down the counter, into the canned soup department in the cupboard below, then on to the (fortunately) coffee-colored kitchen carpet. Good thing Mr. Denver Doc snoozed through it all, arriving finally in a freshly mopped kitchen none the wiser as to my morning moment.

Oops. Been there and done that, much to my dismay.
But how clever of you to have coffee-colored carpet - or was that a do-it-yourself dye job? - paulette
Well if things happen in 3's......
O.K. we won't go there. LOL!
My husband has a habit of filling the coffeemaker with the fresh coffee grinds and turning it on but forgetting to put in the water! And he doesn't have the excuse of menopause!
