All of Sunday went roughly like this:
annoyed - happy - angry - apologizing - loving my hair - sad - bouncing - diet going well - unloved - sleeping - irate - apologizing - annoyed - smiley - sarcastic - looking great - impatient - FAT - what the fuck is my hair doing - hiding - stuffing my face
All of that, every hour, stuck on repeat. Happy day. For all of us.
What makes it even worse is that it always comes just a couple of days after ovul-YAY!-tion, for maximum contrast. From over the moon and full of energy to poxy hell on legs. As usual, it took me about twelve hours to realize what was going on. Before that, I'm always convinced everyone's got so annoying all of a sudden.
Today WILL be better. Self-reflection and a tin of mackerel should do the trick.

Oh, I so know the feeling. Sometimes I want to hold my breath until menopause. But I'm told it only gets worse.... just shoot me now.
ReplyDeleteHope the hormones chill out today.
I remember those days. I do. And Michelle- I'm not sure it gets worse so much as it only gets different when menopause comes along. Worse in some ways, better in others.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Who am I kidding? It gets worse.
Sorry.
Mwa- Hang in there. A tin of mackerel? I must ask what that's for.
@michelle - Thanks. They're marginally better. Only marginally, though. But all my housemates are out so at least I can just take it out on myself instead.
ReplyDelete@Ms. Moon - The idea is that it's a fatty fish and omega-3 fats are meant to help. Nah, I don't believe it either, but I do like to eat mackerel. ;-)
Hi
ReplyDeleteSeems strange to take a few minutes from my working day to comment on someone else's menstrual cycle, but I think we shared Sundays. Only my husband mentioned it first, so I would substitute irate for murderous.
I love your writing though. Hope Monday's going better.
Oh dear, ovulYAYtion. I try very hard not to take seriously any crushes I develop during the couple of relevant days (Gene Hunt, that big bloke off Strictly Come Dancing who can't dance, etc...)
ReplyDeleteI have one word for you...chocolate. This always works for me. Hell who am i kidding chocalate would work if i broke my leg!
ReplyDeleteMaybe everyone HAD got annoying all of a sudden.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's why I want to stab everyone I know today. Hm. A thought I like rather than "the world sucks."
ReplyDeleteThat's no fun. Hope today is better.
ReplyDeleteSix months after giving birth and I am still not back on my period. Don't miss a thing!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about having mackerel helps. All I ever had was cake and biscuits and more cake. There are lots of eggs in it. They contain omega 3, too. You just have to eat enough.
Not missing this at the moment either! But when I do get PMTish I spend the whole day blaming everyone and everything for how I feel and then only realise it's PMT the following day after I've fallen out with everyone.
ReplyDeleteIts amazing how irrational, rational people become. Bloody hormones have a lot to answer for.
ReplyDeleteHope today is better. I always find it funny that every month that passes the day Aunt Flo arrives I always say "Oh, that must have been the reason". You'd think after 20 some years I'd get a clue.
ReplyDeleteBTW...I'd love to have you on as a local. We'll chat.
And here I thought it was only me ;) Sending you chocolate wraped in a hug <3
ReplyDeleteMackerel?
ReplyDelete*runs gagging from the room*
And to go nicely with how you act like an ass to everyone you know, generally you ruin some underwear. Again, how can I not be better at this after 25 plus years? How?? Estrogen induced brain fog just sucks.
ReplyDeleteahhh... my kind of snack. crunchy bones and yummy fishy taste... now I have to go buy some!!
ReplyDeletefeel better soon :0*
@nicola - Yeah, that would make me murderous, too.
ReplyDelete@Lucy Fishwife - I get that, too! All of a sudden I think any old guy is so-o-o handsome. Ouch.
@mountainmomma - I did eat some chocolate, but really I'm more of a savoury girl.
@Iota - They may well have done.
@Aunt Becky - Yeah, stabbing is another option I may have to explore.
@Lady Mama - Thanks. It was, a bit.
@Metropolitan Mum - Cake. Yes. I could try that.
ReplyDelete@whistlejacket - It's painful. Especially if you've done something really bad and have to apologize.
@Countess - I know. It feels strange to be swept away with them.
@Erin - I was the same. Now I'm trying to keep track of it a bit. It helps, because I'm more prepared and more understanding of myself.
@Meghan - Thank you very much. It's very much not just you.
@laughykate - Sorry about that. But yeah, mackerel.
@GingerB - Sucks bigtime.
@Laura Lee - Mine had no bones. You really eat them?
