Oh my God, who is this person who has taken over my brain?

***********************************

I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow!!!!!  That's right, I said, "I'm looking forward to going to work tomorrow!!!!!" 

You men may not know a thing about this PMS symptom, but I have been experiencing the only symptom I really like about PMS.  Oh wait, there is one other symptom that is really pleasurable, but this particular symptom is USEFUL, and if I am nothing else, I am a very practical woman.  I don't even know what this symptom is called, but it makes me feel like I can not only move a mountain, but that I can also balance the earth on its axis, while singlehandedly painting the sky another shade of beautiful blue.  This symptom usually only lasts for about a day, but this go round, I have been blessed with four going on five days of overdrive energy.  I have done all sorts of housework which I normally avoid, including the dreaded scrubbing of the toilet with a pumice stone.  I have worked at work from the time I clocked in until past time for me to go home, and I didn't want to stop working then.  I have gone to the gym, worked out in my yard, and cleaned my neighborhood street, before the street sweeper could come.  I still feel a surge of energy, and I can't wait to go back to work tomorrow and handle every piece of paper that I have been avoiding, because I was tired of trying to figure out what to do with it.  I am not only physically charged, I am also mentally on ... and I mean on.  I stacked all those papers into one pile, and methodically went through them, making decisions and executing the plan for each one before moving on to the next piece.  I am down to the last quarter of that stack, and I cannot wait until I go back to work tomorrow, so that I can thrive on the last remnant of this burst of hormonal energy. 

I wish I knew the magic combination of body chemicals, which is responsible for the symptom that I now realize is PRODUCTIVITY, because productivity is a sexy word to me, and I would love for it to be a permanant character trait of mine.  Maybe this is what speed feels like, or all those Red Bull energy drinks some people drink.  The only drug I have ever used is caffeine, and it doesn't produce this level of hard core physical and mental productivity.  I want productivity to be who I am, not what I take.  So why, oh why, can't I suffer from PRODUCTIVITY all the time, and not just as a byproduct of PMS?? 

I want to BE a mover and a shaker!!!

  1. *giggles* the other side effect, which is not to be mentioned...

    the mover and shaker doesn't come for me until like a few days AFTER it starts! But I haven't met my Aunt Flo since July, so I kind of forget what it is like.

  2. If I wanted to be a mover and a shaker I would go to work in a popcorn shop. I enjoy being retired too much to do that shit anymore.

  3. @Nikki -- Since July? Wow. So, are you now productive all the time? I'm curious how productivity and motivation is influenced by shifting hormones. I want to know which hormone it is, so I can go get more. One day I'm stepping over a mound of dirty clothes, the next day I'm washing clothes, dishes, garden plants, a car, the kitchen floor. You name it, I will wash it, scrub it, clean it, etc. The contrast in drive is kinda freaky.

    @Coffey -- LOL ... a popcorn shop, that's funny. You may have retired, but you are still productive! You take those doggies to find new homes and you blog (sometimes naked)!

  4. Are you sure it's not to be mentioned? I'm just wondering what it might be...

    I could a cup of the "Lickety Hormones" today - woke up late and just want to go back to bed...

  5. Energy? I guess that's hormones but I don't know that I have it! I wish I could have a burst of energy.
