argh oh my god, TW menstruation
listen I have basically been celibate for all of quarantine for purely logistical reasons (I don’t think it’s TMI to admit that like, existing scores-to-hundreds of miles away from my partner of nearly two decades is having an impact on my sex life, not even getting into any details about why I haven’t had a pregnancy scare in like, well, a real long time okay, basically never), and yet, somehow, my period was a week late just now, and like, I’m not the sort of person who has that happen so even though I know it can’t be the obvious reason, I’m not excited about all the other possible reasons it could be. (I mean, I’m 40. It’s coming. It’s just… ought not to be coming soon, given my family history. I mean, like, sooner than it was before but like. Come on. Not right yet.)
Anyway it was just because of stress, it turns out, given my current state, so guess what here it is and oh my god it’s the level of pain where I have to fidget because it hurts too much if I sit still, and also moving sucks, so like
anyway this is just me whining but also I am 40 and the surest way I’ve ever come up with for tracking my menstrual cycle is whining about it on my blog.
Like, I guess it sure was nice of it to give me an extra few days to have a lil reunion with my dude and all but I don’t know that it was worth it given the ferociousness of the current moment. Oh my fuck, I wish I were the sort of person cannabis helps. (I tried it once, for cramps, and hoo boy not only could I still feel them I also could feel them through space and time and that was not a pleasant time, I get that tons of people love weed but I am not one of them.)

40 is far too early for that shit to stop, too. I mean, it happens, but it's rare. Maybe you'll be lucky?

Maybe I should do this, then, because every time I see a doctor and they ask, "what was the date of your last menstrual period?" I just look at them with a baffled expression and try to convey 'why do you think I'd know that, when forgetting the whole thing as soon as possible is a major component of my sanity?' in a way that doesn't involve biting the doctor's head off or asking what kind of bribe they'd take to prescribe a "medically necessary" hysterectomy...
