Unwanted Visitor

I woke up this morning to an unwanted visitor...my period.
Snookums and I have been very carful this past month, I
knew there was no way I could be pregnant, so I was
perfectly happy just not having one (it's 5 days late).
But no, I woke up to that warm, sticky, unmistakably yucky
feeling down there and I knew before I even checked.
Unfortunately last month I neglected to restock
the "period cabinet" so, I was down to like, 1 tampon and
a pantiliner. It was enough to get me to the store.

I dropped Annie off at daycare and Kiki and I went to Wal-
mart to get period provisions. Of course I got tampons,
but I also got a couple of things I haven't tried before.
I got Midol and Playtex Heat Therapy patches. Since I had
Kiki, my periods have been brutal. Back pain, cramping,
clots, I won't go on, you get the idea. I just don't want
to suffer through it yet another time. I took 2 Midol
about an hour ago. I feel better, but I'm not totally
comfortable. I'm going to wait until after I work out and
shower before I put on one of the heat patches.

Speaking of work out. I got a new exercise DVD today! Good
old Tae Bo. I did it in high school and got great results,
so I'm giving it a try again. I'm getting bored with Step,
it's too cold (and it's snowing) to take Kiki out for a
walk, so I'm moving on to this. In fact, I'm going to go
do it right now. Ciao.
