ravnsdaughterI have been having the week from HELL.
I have a totally messed up reproductive system. I generally only get my cycle once or twice a year, tops, because of this. I generally don't get any PMS with it, but the cycle itself is bad enough that I end up taking a day off work because of the cramps and crime-scene-esque bleeding.
I've made enough changes to my eating and exercise habits lately, though, that my body has decided to reassert it's femaleness, and gave me a period about a month or so ago. It was a piece of cake - 3 1/2 days long, light, and no cramps at all. I spent it wishing they could all be that easy.
Anyhow, now that I have a boyfriend again, and all the erm... benefits that come with him, I went in recently to talk to my doctor about various forms of alternate birth control. I'm about 98% sure I don't ever want kids, but for some reason I'm still not ready to commit to having any of my bits surgically altered yet. My messed-up system probably means that I can't have kids anyways, but that's not something I'm ready to leave up to chance, either.
For the past few weeks I've been trying out the NuvaRing. So far it's been working just fine, but this week... argh. I don't know if it's a side effect of the hormones I've been getting from it, or if it's just PMS before my next cycle starts (since it would probably be next week or so, if my body has decided to go back to a normal monthly cycle like I'm supposed to have), but I've spent all week being ready to bite someone's head off.
And at the rate he's going, if he's not careful, it's going to be my roommate.
In more interesting and much more pleasant news, I've discovered that there is a bead store a block away from my work! This has the potential to be dangerous. I might stop in there after work today, if I don't manage to stop myself and just head straight home. There's also a Salvation Army across the street from my work, and I keep saying I should get into the habit of going in there every day or two to check the fabric section. I just might luck out into something that would be usable as garb.
