Blood and Rain
Rain! The fresh, earthy smell and gentle trickling noise are coming through the open bedroom window, and it's wonderful! I hope this will be a solution for the fires still burning, as well as Celeste's dry sore throat. On the other hand, I hope it won't make for an arduous drive back for Derek and his classmates, when they return from Outdoor Ed tomorrow.
I miss Derek and am looking forward to hearing all about his Outdoor Ed experience when he gets home!
Gene and I have costumes planned out for a 90s themed Halloween party, and it suddenly occurred to me that I'm getting my period soon, and that wouldn't be very convenient for my costume. But, I wondered, would it be soon enough? I don't keep careful track, but I know my last one started on the day after Ellen's wedding, because I recall having cramps during the wedding and worrying it would make its appearance then. Thankfully, and miraculously, it held off a day. Although the ladies restroom at the wedding did have an adorable display of free feminine hygiene offerings, and gum. I used this information to calculate that, based on a 28 day cycle, I should be getting my period tomorrow, October 20th. If so, it should be done by October 28th & 29th, during the Halloween party with Gene at Jayne and Kenny's, and the Butter Halloween Party the next day. So, that's a relief. Except, I don't know whether I'm on a 28 day cycle or not since, as I mentioned, I don't closely monitor it - plus, with traveling last month and extra work stress right now, it could be off. I do seem to be experiencing some cramps this evening, so, fingers crossed!
