Days of Grace 11-15-09
1. Shortest period in my life. I’ve been waiting for the last 3 days for it to start up again, but, well, no. On for two days, then off. I remember being so damned hatefully jealous when I read about, (in one of those “books for young ladies” they gave us in middle school), how many women only bleed for 2 or 3 days. I was pissed. Felt totally cheated by my bleedarific body that usually holds out for more of a 5-7 day bleed. So this? This “hardly knew it happened” period? Yay for Lupron!
I can’t believe I just said that.
2. A mini ciabatta with my Italian bakery coffee in the morning. It’s such a Sunday morning treat of a breakfast when you get the roll while it’s still hot from baking. Mmmm. Love the bakery around the corner!
3. Bizarro dreams. Dreamt that someone sent me a gorgeous, enormous ABC sampler for my baby’s birth. Only problem is, the woman who opens the mail at work started cutting into it, not understanding how these things are framed. I was heartbroken, and horrified – how was I going to tell this friend that someone had ruined what was obviously a hugely meaningful, hugely time-expensive gift? I was not entirely unhappy to wake up, I have to say, even though any dream where I’m dandling baby for half the dream, counts as a good dream.
4. Tremors 2. I never realized it was a series, at this point. Extremely funny B-movie. Almost as funny as Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, if such a thing is possible.
5. The dog ate more of my work clothing. Realize this is a big deal because I hate clothes shopping, and as a result, simply don’t have all that many pair of pants/blouses/sweaters that are appropriate for work. Fortunately, for the next month, it’s jeans & tee-shirts at work. This is a really good thing, as I’m sick of looking like a librarian all the time. If the dog had to decimate my wardrobe, last night was a good time to do it.





Mmmm warm bread, nothing better. Last night was a wacky dream night,if only I could be so creative in my “real life”–

My dog ate the wedding singer from blockbuster once – they tried to charge me $120 to replace it – I ended up getting them down to $70. That was the most expensive chew toy she has ever had.
ok, i want a show of hands. other than being on drugs, who has EVER regularly had a 2-3 day period? because that’s just one of the bunch of lies they told us in that “meeting” thing in the fourth grade. (the other was about how exercising was good for cramps. um, not so much.)
I have always had 3 day periods. Day 1 and Day 3 pantiliners work. They come accompanied by severe PMS and major cramping but not a lot of bleeding.
then you are the only woman i know who has had this. back in the day, i was crazy regular (never missed one, ever. stress? it came sooner) and a strong 7-8 days.
