Period, orange haze, and mouth twitches.
Jun. 7th, 2023 05:23 pmWell I got my period 3 days ago. I don't really mind getting it anymore; what I hate are the cramps and the emotional side effects ==; and the, tmi warning, toilet-boundness. I never understood how other women or girls can apparently attend work or school during the first few days because I can't whatsoever; I have terrible cramps and have to pee every five seconds where if I don't, it makes the cramps worse which make my need to pee worse which is distressing for obvious reasons. I really beleive menstrual leave should be a thing, because of women like me. But as long as other women are stuck with their macho issues because they think taking time off for suffering from bad symptoms makes them weak I guess we will never get that. And so, as well, other women will continue to not empathize with women and girls, how sad. (Seriously. So many adult women have zero compassion for teenage girls who suffer the worst of cramps, trivializing it all to a simple 'stomachache'; I think it's so messed up.)
Anyway I don't really have anything to say other than we got fruit of the looms underwear that I have to wait to try on (obviously) and today we got orange haze from the wildfire in Canada that only took an hour to pass. It was a pale yellow-orange at first, but then it grew thicker and brighter and even darker, like the color of an egg yolk. Bats came out flying around, which my mom said was due to confusion or even the bugs coming out. After the haze passed, she visited her friend and told me when she came back that it smelled like a fireplace outside. I can't imagine how it must have smelled when the haze was at its thickest. It couldn't have been good for the animals. I wonder if the haze will travel all the way to Florida.
I'm finally at the 21 day mark and I looked in the mirror and my gums are still not fully healed yet :/ The other day I wanted to ask the surgeon more questions but the nurse already bid me goodbye and I felt too bad to speak up after that. So we'll call tomorrow and I'll get to know what will happen to the patch too. I'm really tired of eating pudding, eggs, and ham slices. I want to eat ravioli and baked macs and chicken and chili and cookies. And pasta and cake and brownies and pancakes, maybe. Definitely waffles.
It's probably due to my period, but my mood is low today and I feel like I'm starting to get a little depressed. A few days before I fell asleep twice in the evening because I felt bored (...and I was listening to asmr, so that made me sleepy). As I've echoed, there's only so much you can do to preoccupy yourself before you get bored. It's like I look forward to going to the store now, because it's some kind of stimulation, some kind of excuse to leave the house. It helps a little, but man, isn't that sad...
Oh, and oddly enough, the upper corner of my left lip near my cheek keeps twitching. I read online it could be due to a potassium deficiency (which fits considering what I've only been eating) or a compressed nerve which... hopefully would not be the case lol but I don't want to go to the dr's for that, so I'll wait it out.
What more is there to say? I like my new Haruhi icon. She's awesome and I wish we got more of ragamuffin!Haruhi. 8D
