Now I'm in my 40s there's so much I simply can't be arsed with and I don't know if this is normal -I am hitting meno a bit early for medical reasons as confirmed by my doc. Here are a few things I recently threw in the fuck-it bucket:
Fiddly care instructions on clothes: like 'Can only be dry cleaned on a tuesday in the rain by a man whose name begins with S' who has the FUCKING TIME if it isn't easycare it's basically out of my life at this point.
Guilt guilt and more guilt about whatever standard for women I'm failing to hit this week. This is my face/body/newly grey hair piss off.
Over-fawning socialised bs at work or what I call the F-email, you know, where you have to put friendly little exclamation marks and non-confrontational jollity on every damn thing because women can't be to-the-point and factual without being hag bitches. No problem if not!
Most men and whatever they're doing. Do it somewhere over there and be quieter while you're doing it thanks.
Pandering to everyone's different hurt political feelings, I am an adult and can respectfully disagree on an issue. I understand how incredibly emotive a lot of what's going on in the world is, but I no longer have time for 'your opinion upsets me and that makes you a bad human being, actually'
Anyway - gosh yes reading that back I can see why they're talking about HRT 😳
Is this normal for meno? Did you hit 40 and throw half your life in the fuck-it-bucket?

Everything on your list has applied to me since I was an adult.

Oh and any bullshit about changing sex. You can't and I won't even counter a conversation about it now, at all, under any circumstances.
