Lovely

Today is my day off and it is pissing down with rain. The funniest thing is, I actually LOVE it. I don't think I've said that about any kind of precipitation in a long time.

I am SO happy to be sitting in my apartment, in front of my computer with the miserable weather outside sort of trapping me in here. It's great.

Plus, I finally got my period today. (Is that too much to say on the internet? Ughh...I don't even care. Women get them - it's a fact of the world.) Anyhoo, this is kind of a big deal because I hadn't had one in months - according to doctor it was "due to stress". Perhaps the fact that I'm finally riding the crimson wave foretells some less stressful times ahead? I don't know.

My biggest conundrum with today is basically deciding which to do first: write or go to the gym. Seeing as I'm already on this, I'll most likely continue and then end up fobbing off the gym because "it's too late" or something like that.

I worked a double shift yesterday, which I actually found is not that difficult to do after all - IF YOU DON'T HAVE A HANGOVER. I think I've cracked the formula to surviving 12/14-hour days. Now, I just have to figure out what to do about my knees because they hurt from standing up for so long. Maybe I have arthritis?? Geez, I hope not.

After work, I had a glass of wine, which (unsurprisingly) is less of a brain-cell-burning-lubricant than Hendricks. Perhaps I'll switch back to red now.

I've got a good feeling about things now. Really good.

Kudos to me for actually turning rain and menstrual cycles into positive things.

Today is going to be a good day.
