You know how my period was late right, because I cannot shut you guys up about my period! I will tell you, calm down! Anyways, I have this app on my phone to keep track of it all, symtoms, temper, etc, and I've been staring at it while it counted the days my period was late.
8 days.
16 days
17 days
19 days
22 days
For a while there, in the feverish dark hole this unemployed, friendless winter is, I thought to myself that if I'm pregnant I might as well keep it because that would at least have me doing SOMETHING in the future, unlike everything else I try. Of course I knew I wasn't pregnant (thank you Clearblue, I love you) because then my sour, laying around staring into the ceiling kind of thoughts would had been replaced by full on panic and "Oh fuck not again" and other powerful, but even less ladylike expressions.
Now, my cycle is around 28 days, so my little app does this approx estimation of when it's time, so when we got closer and closer to 28 days late, I started getting antsy. Was it time for my next period? Could it ever be that reliable when having skipped an entire months worth of egg and hormones? When is it coming? It's getting old having to bring the boring kind of protection everywhere (ie, neither condoms nor guns) just in case. Could it skip another month? Ahh just DO IT and lemme be normal.
So, one day (sch, building up the drama here) I limped out to the bathroom (having hurt myself on some invisible object like usual) and took a wee. I wiped myself, caringly of course, and lo and behold!
I stretched, for the first time, but surely not the last, the piece of TP victoriously high in the air and yelled (said out loud) "YES! I am bleeding!"
Bf, that was standing in the shower at that time, just looked at me through the plastic, see through shower drape (do you know how GOOD those are for decreasing your paranoid feelings in the shower because you can actually see what's going on?*) and said ".. And how does that feel?"
"Like I'm bleeding! I answered, full of glee. "And, on day 28 too! It's perfect!**"
So, it's here, everything's fine, nothing to see here people. Oh, and cramps, I still fucking hate you. But for this once, I can oversee our history.
*They're AWESOME!
** Because tonight I'll be eligible for eating chocolate and not feeling ashamed!***
*** I will anyways, but never mess with crampy girls around chocolate.
