Get up. Get dressed. Dither a brief moment over underpants: something cute, something practical? Remember new Wonder Woman underpants from Torrid clearance sale, delightedly put them on.
Rush around getting ready. In car, absently note a sort of lower-tummy-area twinge. Nothing particularly noticeable, but… look at watch. note date. Twenty-somethingth. Oh that’s… hm. That’s kind of… hm.
No, you say to yourself, no, last month you didn’t get your period until later… right? Like, the last week of the… hm…
Fidget in your seat. It’s a long drive. Could it be… no. No, surely… hm. Well it won’t matter, it’s fine. It’s….
Remember you’re wearing brand-new underpants. Cry a little inside.
Get to work. Yup! You are 38 years old, you’ve been menstruating for twenty-five years and some change, you’re regular as clockwork, and you’re wearing brand-new underpants and have absolutely 0 menstrual supplies with you, of any kind, on this day, precisely 30 days after your last period, and you have entirely as-scheduled totally fucked up your entire day. Congratulations!
Ooh wait there might be a tampon in the bottom of my bag. Because I hate them and never use them, so they’ve never gotten used up. I keep them in the bag out of laziness and also because they have saved me like this, hm, probably six of the last eight months. So. (I bought them because I once was caught short at the farm and blew through an entire box of my sister’s stash, so I bought two boxes and replaced one of hers and left the other in my bag.)
Nobody’s ever gotten TSS from a tampon that’s been grubbing around the bottom of a grungy bag for a year until the plastic is shredded, right? (Kidding, the plastic seems intact on this one.)
(I own three sets of specially-designed underwear with washable inserts just for this, but I’m fucked if I know where I put them. I set the two most recently-acquired of them them Aside, meaning to put them Away so I could easily find them, in November when I bought them, and now, it’s just a giant floating field of question marks. Who the fuck knows!)
