So I got my period yesterday. Which adds considerable credit to the "I am going crazy with PMS" theory...even though I hate that theory because I don't like my woman's body to be held against me. (Other women's bodies, on the other hand...ba dum bum

PMS is The Devil.

Aw, I have no tea icon anymore.

When I went off the Pill, I thought it was going to make me less wacky and hormonal. But it did not.

When I come to visit you someday, you will take me to the Seward Cafe. I think my secret needs to be a couple cups of caffeinated, and then herbal for the rest of the day. I love herbal tea, I just don't crave it the way I crave the black.

I need something that seems like a treat, like a way to deal with something, and I need it to be actually good for me. Some people use smoking that way...I used to use alcohol. Now I barely drink Coke, and I need to cut back on the caffeinated tea...so what does that leave me in terms of good things to drink? Juice? Water? Herbal tea? I need a "vice" that just seems forbidden but is actually healthy. Do you dig?

My hair is getting longish (like, an inch and a half or something) and I fully have bedhead going on. It's fun.

i never used to get pms, but used to cramp so badly i'd vomit.
now my cramps aren't *as* bad, but i pms like a lunatic. it seems to get worse as i get older. i'm not fond of it.

i have delicious black teas that are decaffinated!
check kensington market (that way you still get black tea/milky goodness without the dreaded caffeine pre ms-ing)

i hear ya on the 'hating pms/womanbody held against you'...
i get all reacty when people try to blame my mood on it.

My mood swings are craziness. I sometimes have cramps, but not too badly. Just enough to make me whiny.

I have some decaffeinated black teas...I should drink those more often. However, they do not do the trick when I'm craving caffeine. Herbals are more likely to make me feel better.

hmmm, a vice. well you cannot drink soy so thats out.

i am really into pepermint tea. love it. it saves my tummy problems. and i drink a lot of herbal stuff by celestial seasonings, the fruity kind. very good shit.

i had to cut back on the caffeine too. altho the decaf earl grey isn't too bad.

[monster_grrrl]

I adore peppermint tea. It would make a good vice. Fruity tea is very good...like most fruity things. ;)

[monster_grrrl]

Chocolate is probably not the best vice for me. The internet is less a vice than a terrible addiction for me. It's sometimes less "guilty pleasure" than terrible compulsion.

Raspberries are a good vice to adopt. Plus, raspberry leaf tea is good for cramps.

[monster_grrrl]

Raspberries are a good vice! I should try and grow some in my backyard. :)

Keep the caffeine and take evening primrose oil capsules to help with the PMS.

[monster_grrrl]

What do evening primrose oil capsules do?
