Math is hard, let's be in agony; or, a N-GIP

[serinde]

In spite of the fact that my cycle has almost universally been a steady 26 days, and in spite of the fact that I started a whole separate Google Calendar to track it, I was still taken utterly unawares by grinding awful cramps on the subway this morning. Fortunately, this is an area in which I have successfully gamed my weaknesses, and I have all the appropriate supplies in my desk.

Oh, little 8-hour stick-on heating pads, how I love you. I do not know how I survived without you for so many years.

Have duly logged this event, whereupon I find that the next instance will be on Christmas Eve (and therefore, Christmas Day == Crimson Tide). Fuck you, body, fuck you very much.

Doesn't it seem like the most annoying part of being a chick (horrible cramps and bleeding) goes away around the same time that being a guy gets potentially more sketchy (prostate)?

I dunno. I hear menopause is as bad or potentially worse than what it replaces...

Mileages vary, but I'd say you hear wrong. There's a point where hormones are in flux and it's disorienting, but then it's over and very nice indeed.

OMG, I know you!! (I'm Felicia.) Is it okay if I friend you?

It doesn't last that long, does it?

Unfortunately, men seem to come off better in this department. While our lil' man tate may start getting cranky, and the get up and go may get up and leave, we don't have issues like breast cancer and the uterine cancer women have to deal with.
