Pain...

[ceebeegee]

Men, be glad you're not women (sometimes).

I went off the pill for just this month because I didn't have a chance to refill my prescription. And mittelschmerz (the pain some women experience during ovulation--it strikes me as odd that the German culture actually gave a term for that phenomenon) has descended. In spades. My left ovary feels as though there's a very small, powerful vacuum cleaner (with teeth) inside sucking out whatever's in there. Pain. God, I can't wait 'til the end of the month and I can go back on. Especially now that I have such a cute little Personal Pak (I got the one in fuchsia with the red daisy) in which to carry it. I love it! I'm such a girly-girl.

I hate feeling debilitated like this. I hate having a menstrual cycle. I hate it that I, who take such pride in the peculiar strength and joys in being a woman, can be brought down like this.

I love the Pill. Thank God for the '60s.

I'm with you, sister. Today is the ultimate day for me. Heavy flow, the uterus pains, it's all there. The only thing to alleviate me is chocolate. So, anyone getting between me and the chocolate I desire will suffer a death I cannot be held responsible for.
