OMG you guys. I'm generally massively lucky on the period front - I've been getting my period for over ten years and they've been painful enough for me to notice probably less than ten times. I've never experienced agony like some of my friends have.
But owwww I have had lower back pain for ACTUAL DAYS, and yesterday and today especially it has been really bad. Ibuprofen is not helping and I don't have a hot water bottle and the bath is dirty :( My fifteen minutes of light walking seemed to make everything worse :(((
(It was a bit hilarious on Sunday though. I was sitting around with my BFFs in the evening (minus one who hadn't come because she was so tired, which, haha, everybody in sync for real) and we have all clearly spent too much time together, because we were just sitting there like, interspersing our conversation about Bucky Barnes crying and the importance of Natasha with :( OVARIES ARE BULLSHIT.)
Arrrrrrgh. I have to go to work tomorrow unfortunately but if it stays this bad I'm not going in on Wednesday, because sitting/standing for hours was awful. One of the things I usually enjoy about teaching is that you have to be really switched-on and present while you're in the classroom, but when you're very tired or getting ill or having cramps it sucks not being able to just, like, become way less productive for a day or two.
ANYWAY clearly I need a meme. And I recently uploaded a bunch of cute new icons because I am a TERRIFYING ICON FIEND. So pick three of
my icons and I'll talk about them or ask me general questions about icons or ask me whatever. And if you put CONVERSE in your comment I'll ask you about three of yours.
You can post my icons in your comment or just give me the name I use for them (eg 'Harry: hero' or 'shameless'.)
