This is the start of day 2. The Diva and I aren’t speaking right now. I waited until she and her friends, Heavy and Slippery, arrived before deciding to answer her knock. Consequently, she did not like that and refused to come in and have a seat.
A shower could unite us, make things right, but that would be too easy and since I’ve neglected the laundry as well, I’m just going to bloody up a few safe, but non-menstrual fabrics for the time being.
NB: the last cycle was 24 days.
The first day was painful, but not bad (bloating, mild acne, cramping.) I’d describe it as constant, moderate ache, rather than intermittent stabbing pain.
