Boo

I don’t ever enjoy starting my period of menstruation. I have been relieved here and there, at times when I’ve been concerned of my reproductive health, like my last menstruation. But I don’t enjoy it. Tonight has been no exception. But I extra-less enjoy that it is at least a few days ahead of what my usually-correct tracking apps last told me about when to expect it. Of course, I had been surprised when it told me I still had another week. But I shouldn’t have trusted it. It went weird after last menstruation’s random anomaly of timing. It didn’t process that that very likely was a one-off, not something to be added to the average. 28-30 days is my normal, not 45 or whatever it was last time.

Anyway, that just added to the annoyance of the menstruation starting tonight.

And my daughter still has it out for hitting me and pinching nipples while nursing before bed, and it is really pissing me off and overstimulating me on multiple levels.

God, guide us, please, and be gentle with us. Keep my husband and me and our daughter safe and make us well and together. In your name, I pray. Amen.
