impyAs I was finishing yesterday's post, I went from cautiously optimistic to "oh god, not again" in feeling, but luckily not in deed. I spent much of the afternoon feeling like crap (not surprising when you consider how I spent the previous evening/night/early morning) and at dinner making time, Mums hollers up and asks if I'm going to work and if so, when am I eating dinner? I tell her no to work, now to food... and then it takes two hours for food to cook. Rude, food. Rude. I was very, very cautious when eating my rice and chicken and had very small portions of both that I didn't even finish.
Once they settled, I felt much better... until I woke up with a caffeine/cold headache. Cold as in due to the temperature outside, not cold the ick. And now I'm hungry. At first I didn't think that would be an issue because there should've been leftover chicken! There, apparently, is not. Boo.
Gotta say, having the ick and my period at the same time felt like the universe was really fucking with me. Nothing like trying to figure out which kind of cramps were kicking my ass and whether they'd be the kind to lead to running to the bathroom and being violently ill, or just trying to find a passably comfortable position in bed to ride it out. Trick question because the answer was always going to end in run to the bathroom and try not to trip over the cat who felt it was her duty to lead me to the toilet EVERY TIME. Which was great except that once she stopped to wash a paw or something and uh... not good. Honestly, had a fair number of "what, is this your first time being sick?" moments this go round.
Anyway. But hopefully on the mend. I am a bit ticked that this happened on the week I'd rather have gone in and not the other. Sigh.
