weird!

[dragonlady7]

This is totally bizarre:
Whenever I wear these sweatpants, I get my period!
It's totally weird.
They fit funny, and I put them on, and they seem OK, but after a while, the waistband starts to feel just too tight, and i start getting cramps, and no matter whether I hitch it up to my ribcage (my narrowest point) or hike it down around my hips, it just gives me an oogy feeling in my gut. And then I realize I have my period.
It's happened like three months in a row now. Are the pants uncomfortable, or do I always, coincidentally, weirdly, have impeccable timing in putting them on?

Again, I am thirty, and should bloody well know when my period is coming, but that's really a really separate issue. This one is just weird.

Anyway. I have the basement set up enough that I could do some sewing down there if I had to, but it's not set up enough to be done moving furniture. Boo hiss. I feel like curling up with a heating pad and some hard drugs, not being ambitious. Oh well.
I also feel like sewing a lot. I need some lap quilts. That would be a manageable thing to learn to quilt with, right? But it's too hard to think about. One of these days, for serious, I need to sit down, plan, buy fabric and notions for, and cut out a bunch of projects, and put them into bags in a drawer in my new storage space downstairs, so that on all the multitude of occasions when I want to sew but feel really oogy and stupid, I'll have ready-to-do things.

1. My period always surprises me, too.
2. Don't do anything today. Curl up with the hot pad. You've got rights!
3. For a few blissful months, I synchronized with Alice after she moved in, and so when she got her period, I always knew I would get mine in a day or two, which was roughly enough time to get ready. But then we flew to Atlanta, and flying always messes me up, so I got my period early, and now I get mine two days before her which does not help me AT ALL. Although you'd think I would be able to add...Seriously I panicked last month because I thought I should've had it and was late and of course all sorts of p-word thoughts crossed my horrified mind and then I asked Alice and she said, "But even if you get it early, you're not going to get it for another 10 days."
So clearly I am hopeless. I am glad you are too. :)

There are, like, online services you can use, I think. I'm wondering if there's an iPhone app. *quick look* Oh, yes, there are several, but the best-known one is called PMSBuddy and is designed primarily for men to use so they can keep track of their wives' cycles.
I was somewhat offended, but Z said, a little sheepishly, "It would kind of be nice to know," and I thought you know, there are way more sexist things out there. I'll save my ire.
I think someone recommended cycletracker.com or something like that to me too. But I never think to write it down anywhere. Which is why I never know. I just generally know it's near the first of the month, but a little after, and then I'm never quite sure when exactly, and last night or so I was thinking huh, wasn't it supposed to be this last week? But I've never ever ever been late, so I wasn't much worried. And still didn't think, It might be today!
Logical disconnect, mostly.

Z is making homemade-from-scratch macaroni and cheese, and to make the cream sauce, instead of butter he fried bacon and used the fat and bacon bits to start the cheese sauce, so that's the awesomest thing ever and I'm feeling much better now.

I was in the middle of getting a ton of stuff done, though, and I am disgruntled and would prefer to continue what I had been doing. Hmph.

I have to confess, it would be so great if somebody else kept track and just casually mentioned to me, "Yo, tomorrow's the day." That would be so awesome.
I think I'm getting this app.
