I love these updates, its like receiving a chatty email from a friend telling you their news.
I don't understand the face hairs, I get one on my cheek that appears at 2cm long - it doesn't grow, it just turns up and I don't notice it until I'm sat in a meeting and feel it sticking out of my face. I then spend the rest of the day hugely self conscious thinking everyone is looking at it! Time to start keeping tweezers at work I think.
Undirected irritability! It's as Nina says in her comment; all those hormones that lead women to put others first disappear. Then you're left feeling that you really should come first in your own life, but you're out of practice and others are surprised when you start saying shocking things such as "No" 😄
I absolutely love your writing Marianne, you always make me laugh, wince with recognition and feel better about myself, I wish I could share this on Instagram but can’t work out how to. Have downloaded the substack app specifically to let you know anyway, you are so brilliant!
I loved this newsletter. I am a middle-aged angry woman. I am also a middle-aged hairless woman but that's due to chemo; would not recommend 😄. I haven't bought new clothes for years and no-one seems to care - it helps that I was a scruff before and am still a scruff...🤣
Am I allowed to share middle-aged reading recommendations here? Both "Hags" and "Hagitude" are brilliant. Embrace it!
Chuckled my way through this instalment of your news letter. I love that you are a middle aged woke woman. I am a middle aged angry woman. The rage is like nothing I’ve experienced before, but the patriarchy is responsible for it. Obvs. Also snap on the chin hairs 🤣
