Kitty’s Real-Life Chronicles
Welcome to my delightful little nook of the internet!
I’m Kitty, a 40-something navigating the tumultuous waters of life after being catapulted into surgical menopause at the ripe age of 37—thanks ever so much to the delightful affliction known as “Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder.” I reside in glorious Scotland, where I bravely endure the weather and the ever-persistent midges!
In a fit of sanity, I decided to jettison social media—honestly, who needs that circus in their life?
Instead, I’ve opted for the charmingly retro pursuit of blogging. Here, you’ll encounter unapologetically unfiltered tales of the glorious chaos that accompanies life post-40.
I’ve grown thoroughly weary of AI-generated images and those absurdly filtered photos that make us look half our age, somewhat extra-terrestrial, and perpetually living our “best” lives—while sharing the sole good day they’ve had all month, pretending it’s their everyday reality. Am I alone in this?
It’s high time we embrace authenticity!
I shall regale you with tales of my hormonal escapades, navigating life sans the little two-legged humans, and proudly embracing my role as a devoted dog mother to my delightful Shih Tzu. You’ll also hear about my upcoming nuptials—yes, I’ve remarrying in my fabulous 40s to the absolute love of my life, having gracefully emerged from the ashes of divorce.
I’ve bid adieu to alcohol, and trust me, there are a few rather illuminating insights about the world of booze that I simply must share. Additionally, I have a penchant for delving into the science of hormone health, so expect a sprinkle of enlightening titbits for those who share my curiosity.
It’s high time we celebrate the art of aging, share a chuckle amidst the chaos, and carve out a space that truly honours women well beyond the tender age of 20. Let’s keep it refreshingly honest, shall we?
A public service announcement: as an Irish lady, swearing is practically my second language, so prepare yourself for a few cheeky expletives when the spirit moves me!
