periods!

My favorite is when the onslaught of Ladytime just exactly perfectly coincides with a huge amount of work that I have to get done— a 5,000 word piece due tomorrow on top of my regular work.  I’m at about 4,000 words, and am concerned that I have about 11,000 worth of things to say on the topic.  Analysis paralysis.

I hate giving credence to the stereotype that periods make ladies craaaaazy because that’s not the case; hormone fluctuations only serve to amplify emotions that are already there. And sometimes those emotions get super extra amplified, like right now for example.

Anyway, long story short: I just spent the last 10 minutes crying about the fact that one day my cat’s going to die and so is my mom, so I’m getting a lot done.
