I took an allergy pill (fake Zyrtec) last night. It helped a lot but I have a headache today. I'm not sure if that's it or the fact I'm working on another period. I can tell because I'm getting the breast tenderness and swelling.
I carry some supplies in my vest and gave the pads to a "pad only" coworker who has a kid. She has had a man up there (laugh) but doesn't want a tampon. So I brought more. I can slap a pad in there and a tampon and that will do me until I can get the cup loaded. I don't want to carry the cup in my vest. I could put it in the cloth bag and then a plastic baggie but I have dropped tampons before and it was no big deal, but I think a cup would freak people out.
I do find it funny I am still having cycles at my age; but the one truth I got out of my half sister she said our mother had very unpredictable, erratic, cycles the last several years of her life. I expect the same. Most of my female family members had hysterectomies so they can't relate to me "going natural". I will say I saw a very cute "shrug sweater' at work but have decided to pass as I think the hot flashes wouldn't like it.
I slept pretty well for me, I only woke up once.
It's going to rain tomorrow so I will do my hair I think. I'm getting some roots.
This headache is no treat and I already took some Excedrin. I don't think I will take these allergy pills again for a while.
Biscuit slept with me last night. Cleo has been super cuddly for her. She likes to walk around in my lap and stick her butt in my face, that's her love language. I tell her she's very pretty and clean (she is).
I plugged in my phone to charge last night but forgot to plug in the charger, happily I have enough time to fix that.
Mom and Dad are traveling today I believe for my grandmother's funeral. We were not close. She called me "(Dad's name)'s daughter" on more than one occasion. My maternal grandmother, though, was so evil my mother didn't want her anywhere near me. I did attempt to send my maternal grandmother a "reconciliation" letter after Ron's accident but she went into a rage on hearing he was black and tore it up. So much for that. I did try. She would be furious to hear I am now interested in a self-proclaimed "Mexican", a black bus driver, and a black coworker. I have 2 of their numbers, we text a little, very light stuff but I like to see them. I see the coworker tonight. I may send him some cat photos.
We will be full on into Christmas mode at work now. Every year I think how cute it would be to knit myself a ribbed Santa hat, it would look like a regular Santa hat with a white brim and a pom-pom, red body. But it would have the "beanie" texture and fit my head better, it would have the long tail like a regular Santa hat. But I never get around to it. They also make my head really hot and I am going to be working my ass off the next couple months.
Biscuit has proven naughty with needlework projects at home, anyway. I do need to find my wool hat. We haven't had that kind of cold lately and it's "supposed to be a mild winter" but we'll see. Most years I can just wear a hoodie most of the winter.
If I got myself a parka it would probably be a white one, so the bus drivers could see me better in the dark (a bus driver's idea). I have the same regular driver in the morning 3 days a week those days I'm not worried, she knows to look for me. But she has said she doesn't want the route anymore and when it comes up to bid in December she's not going for it again; i'll have a different driver. So I'll have to wear the safety vest for a while until the new driver gets used to me at that stop.
That's it for now; I woke up early and I still have 3 hours before I have to leave for work even after writing all this.
