You know how I feel about periods and shopping, but one thing I really love is when periods put grocery ideas in your head before they’ve even shown up. For instance: last night I was moved to purchase brownie mix and peanut butter chips, and I wasn’t even sure why until today. Nature.
So right now there is this confluence of forces acting on my body and they are 1) menstruation (we are so past TMI on this blog, right?) 2) a cold and 3) Valentine’s day and so far today they have made me:
- refuse to get dressed.
- cry on the couch with Rylee about boys, but in the most pathetic way you can imagine (“Nobody will ever like me.” “That isn’t true.” “YOU ARE A LIAR.” “You have mascara on your forehead.”)
- consider watching a romantic comedy since I’m basically having a sick day anyway.
- cry THINKING ABOUT Beauty & the Beast.
- push my laptop off the couch onto the floor because I never have any fucking vowels in Words with Friends and it’s like, honestly, why is the world out to get me.
- feel emotionally connected with the wilting carnations on my coffee table.
- draw a picture of me about to spear a heart, decide the heart is too cute, decide to hug the heart, even though I hate it.
