My Least Favorite Relative is Auntie Flo
Yesterday, I remember thinking "Crap, I must be PMSing...I've got cramps, moodiness, and its getting to be the right time." Well, I was right on the money, because my period started today.
The first day is always the worst day for me. I have horrible cramps, waves of oh-god-take-me-now nausea, and I feel so tired I just wanna lay down. So I really didn't notice anything out of place until I got to Gov class today. But for some reason, my nausea was reeeally bad...and I felt kinda feverish too. I was sitting there, doing my usual mental mantra for when I start getting nausea that I don't think is leading anywhere: "I'm going to be ok, I'm going to be ok, I'm going to be ok-"
At which point I threw up on the floor.
I sorta fell into a daze, during which a path was cleared for me and I was helped over to where the trash can was. I spent another few minutes just kneeling there with my head in the can, dry heaving (someone was patting me on the back, and someone else ran down to get the nurse). Eventually I snapped back to reality, and felt a lot better (isn't it ironic how vomiting can make you feel better?), so I went to get some water. Nothing like getting sick in class to make you feel loved...two of the other girls came into the bathroom where I was getting a drink to ask me if I felt better and if I knew what was wrong.
After making sure I felt good enough to walk down to the clinic myself, the teacher let me go (Sveta came down later with my stuff). The nurse called Mom and let me go home. So I drove myself home, called Mom, and put on my pjs. And took two lovely pain pills. And that's basically a recap of it up until now.
I'm probably going to do a little surfing, maybe play the Sims. Then I'll watch today's Xena episode, and maybe take a nap. Tonight I have to study some BioTech, and read more of Wuthering Heights (which so far, seems at least a little better than Return of the Native).
If I feel better this evening, Mom and I are going to this lecture being given by Dr. Redman about the Danbury site (that's where I was working at that archaeology camp this summer). And tomorrow, I'm going on my mentorship at the museum (first day of labwork).
And tomorrow I'll also see if I made callbacks...
