Well, at least I know I won't be getting "Aunt Flo"'s visit on Christmas, because she finally showed up today. Gah! This is a bad one - cramps, nausea, dizziness, extreme sleepiness and migraines. It seems like every third period I have is really, really horrible. Some of them are cake - three days of light bleeding, some light spotting before and after, no cramps, and a general feeling of, "Oh, I'm having my period? Huh!" Then there's these periods - the ones that make me want to just rip out my uterus and be done with this whole thing!

So. Freakin'. Tired! I barely made it through the day, and now I'm just sitting here praying for this game (MNF: Miami v. NE) to be over with so I can go to bed. Please, no overtime! Please someone just win! I don't even care who it is! (It was the Dolphins, by the way, which would normally be disappointing since I was cheering for the Patriots, but like I said, I feel rotten, and frankly don't care.)

And, I can't even call in sick tomorrow because we're having our Secret Santa luncheon at work. It would be really grinchish of me to miss it because of some cramps and stuff. Also, I agreed to run errands this week so the usual errand girl can catch up on her filing. Can't exactly leave everyone in the lurch like that, now, can I? Still I'm hoping for a fast and easy week where I can basically slide by and not have to think very much. Thinking's hard. And it hurts my head.

Gah! I give up; I'm going to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Cheers!
