September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month. The symptoms of ovarian cancer overlap with many perimenopause symptoms, so it's often not detected until later stages when it's a lot more deadly. If something seems wrong or weird, talk to your OBGYN about it! my.clevelandclinic.org/health/disea...

What Are the Symptoms of Ovarian Cancer?
Ovarian cancer usually doesn’t cause symptoms at first. But you may eventually have pain and bloating. Learn about other symptoms and treatment.

In addition to DNF I want to propose NRN: Not Right Now. When you pick up a book that's great, hits all the right notes, but you're just not in the correct headspace for it at the moment and can't bring yourself to keep reading.
