Womanhood + Men + Pheromones.

Dear Boobies & Uterus:

   What in the hell did I EVER do to you?

Sincerely, Just Saying.

Ouch. It hurts to have clothes touch my chest. Stupid womanhood.  I don't suffer from side effects of having a period like some of my fellow womanhood do. I've been extremely lucky that way.

I use to laugh at women who'd call in sick due to "coughcrampscough" in the middle of the week every month. Oh come on!!! Take some Motrin and get your ass to work! Or those who bitch about diarrhea or migraines. Pussies. All of you.

......that is, until I experienced it first hand. I started getting very bad headaches about a year ago, that soon turned into migraines once or twice a year.  The first time last year when I had cramps, I couldn't walk. My mid-section couldn't carry the weight of my body. You know the area, between your upper thighs and top of your pelvic bone. Weak. I curled up on the couch in a position that would let me rest without crying, a hot water bottle, and the strongest pills I had in the house and called in sick.  Wimp. Not so. It's a pain like no other.

I've never made fun of someone since, that calls in sick with cramps. Of course there are women who abuse that right, and those that do, I hope it finds you ten fold when you can't afford the time off.

I was hanging out the roomie last night, organizing the chaos that will destroy my apartment once I start wrapping gifts etc. Not sure how we got onto the topic of womanhood, but the roomie looks up and so seriously says, "Aren't you due to get yours soon? Like tomorrow?" 

ummmm, ya.  I forgot that when I lived with The Douche and T, they would always know within days when I was roughly due. The Douche said, it sounds gross but it's not. The chemistry smell changes. Pheromones etc. They could both tell when I was due cos I would smell differently. I didn't think sensing pheromones was a conscience one. Maybe men who live with women are more in tune with us than we give them credit for?

Ok, I don't know about you, but when a girl hears "you smell different" no matter how good natured it was meant, you tend to freak out a little that everyone around can smell the change in your chemistry makeup.  I've never forgotten it, and since then have actually developed a bit of a complex when it comes to smelling bad in any way shape or form.

Last night I was sort of in shock with the roomies comment. Asking him how he could possibly know that. He mentioned the same thing, sort of. He could tell by the change of my body behaviour etc.

This morning. I got my period.
