Aside from standard I-Want-a-Hysterectomy moping, passed v. nice weekend.
Though not in much of a party spirit, attended small but amusing party at friend's apartment on Friday night. Did not drink, so as not to encourage any added nausea, and spent majority of party lounging on v. soft leather couches watching friends hop about to Dance Dance Revolution. So fun!
Had delightful Saturday at ballpark taking in hot dogs, ice-cream and oh-so-much sun. Am like peppermint candy -- white, red, white, red. Could sun not have been directly overhead?! Good lord.
Is v. sunny out, and am back at work wishing there were some sort of law making work on v. sunny days illegal. Sunny days are for picnics, canoes and laying 'round doing nothing more taxing than lifting v. good book and glass of lemonade. Someone must tell higher-ups.
Still have not had tête-à-tête with D. Am shooting for next Monday. In meantime, must get legs waxed (on schedule for this afternoon), PMS skin back to normal (will pray for intervention) and head back to gym to make binge-eating reparations. Must put best foot forward, after all. Speaking of feet... must make appointment for pedicure.
A hysterectomy would probably throw your body into more of a tizzy. My aunt had one in her 30s and started to look (and feel) more like Uncle Jeannine.
You're right about sunny days. Fortunately, today the Lone Star State is bathed in a lugubrious haze.
Good luck with D.!

taking calcium tablets [throughout the month] makes me soooooo much less of a Super-Wattage-Bitch-Troll come monthly moping time. seriously.
if i forget to take them - i notice.
i don't know the rationale behind it, and maybe it doesn't work for everyone, but it's worth a try- good for your bones anyhoo
at least now you have a whole month[-ish] until you start the hysto-considering period again
:)
sounds like a nice weekend was had by ms. fish! isn't it the nicest thing to take care of your sexy self... sometimes outside sexiness just makes you feel so great inside! enjoy the lovely day, despite the work part!

Posted by: Indigo Steve at May 6, 2003 07:02 AMi heard that uping your soy intake helps reduce pms problems....
Hmm... am NOT going to eat soy. And I already take calcium. I think binge-eating and massive amounts of sleep are the only way to pull through this.
at least I don't get mean and bitchy. THAT would be a bad, bad thing.
already take calcium ... and don't get mean and bitchy- yay calcium already working!
Posted by: cara at May 6, 2003 12:47 PMWhat do you think the higher-ups are doing while we wage-slaves toil over our keyboards? They don't want to share their lemonade-drinking, book-reading, sunny afternoons with us plebs. So the only ways we're going to get a part of those lazy days are either by working one's way to the top (too time-consuming) or by staging a revolution. I know which I'd opt for. :)
