Menopause and Necklaces

I am old enough to be experiencing menopause, and “NO” you don’t need to know any more than that.  So, don’t ask!  This week I was dressed in a nice business appropriate outfit, complete with necklace, bracelet, rings, earrings, and probably a scarf.  I do love my scarves!  As I live in the South and it is mid August, the temperature was (how shall I tactfully say this?) hot as… a well-heated pot belly stove.  I removed the necklace and placed it on the passenger seat of my car.  It slid around and made its way next to my water bottle.  Seems my necklace was seeking relief from the heat also.  About an hour later, I retrieved the necklace to install it around my neck, again.  Ahhh, it felt wonderful.  The cold from the bottle had made its way to the necklace, and now that necklace was cooling my overheated self.  I was very happy for the relief.

All this made me think.  I should store my necklaces in the refrigerator!  Think about it.  During those warm summer months I could always have cool relief and be appropriately accessorized all in one easy motion.  Now don’t you just love it when life throws such a wonderful idea your way?  Come back next week and Listen To My Brain Rattle.
