A Menopausal Odyssey, Day 13

On July 6, 2018July 6, 2018 By The Autonomous TravelerIn 70 days, 7000 miles2 Comments

July 5, 2001 When I was taking my stuff down and packing up to leave the campsite, Jim was watching me.  I went up to him, shook his hand and told him he was a wonderful person and that I so  glad that I had met him.  As I drove off,  I could see him …

A Menopausal Odyssey, Day 12

July 4, 2001 The Suck Factor!   It's those moments when the descriptive word for everything is "yuck"!  It happens to me when I tired, hungry, in an unfamiliar or uncomfortable situation, or discouraged. I guess it's part of life and can even happen during  my dream-come-true trip. I woke up this morning fully controlled by the …

A Menopausal Odyssey, Day 10

July 2, 2001 I caught the ferry to Mackinac Island and spent the day in Mackinaw, a quaint place where no cars are allowed. The amatuer sociologist in me was quick to notice the three social classes evident in this resort town. An upper class used to Western style indulgence and conspicuous consumption.  A middle …

A Menopausal Odyssey ? (Day 6)

On June 28, 2018October 10, 2018 By The Autonomous TravelerIn 70 days, 7000 miles8 Comments

June 28, 2001 I woke up in a tent this morning.  Did what I always do when I camp; build a fire, make a cup of coffee, and read. Peace finally. Time to think. I am 52.  I'm a menopausal woman.  I guess I got through it okay, physically.  Hot flashes. Once on a 10 …

June 27, 2001 I left M.H.'s house in the morning and got on a highway that follow the Ottawa River. I was on my own now and I was anxious. I was really doing this, alone  I found a beautiful campground and was given a great site on the water. I was agitated for two …

June 26, 2001 Yesterday's words with M.H. were aging, loneliness, inability, and dying. But today we lived new words. M.H. drove me to her yacht club so we could go sailing.  She had her own sailboat and the woman who the night before worried about the inability to perform daily mundane tasks took that boat …

June 25, 2001 Great night's sleep. Woke at 6:00 am. Breakfast. Said "goodbye" to M. and R. and thanked them for a really great time. Went out on the main highway and almost got  hit by another car. They honked at me which I accepted because I didn't see them because I wasn't looking.  Note …

June 23, 2001 Left the house at 10:30. Talked to my daughter before I left. Stopped in Ogdensburg for gas and lunch. The girl at the gas station told me she wanted to hear about my trip when I got back.  I'm a little apprehensive today but I know I have to do this. The …
