The first stage of perimenopause is denial

I saw an awesome person I’ve known for years recently and when I told her she was looking really fit, she replied with something along the lines of “still trying to balance my hormones!” 

She isn’t exaggerating: even though I only see her now and then, even I know she’s been trying to balance her hormones for a few years now. 

So I asked her how old she was and it turns out she’s older than I thought.
