Yelling at the universe to hurry it up finally worked: period is on its way. Cervix was open this morning and when I checked just now I see a streak. I am amused in a not-so-amused kind of way… I’m heading to the pool. Can it hold off for a few hours?

I somehow think it’s going to hit in full tomorrow. Now Natalie, you would ask, why are you so sure of that? Because the dates. Cycle 1 started on May 10, Cycle 2 started on June 10, Cycle 3 started on July 10, and tomorrow is – you guessed it – August 10. WTF kind of pattern is that? Months don’t all have the same amount of days in them!

So yes, I am heading to a friend’s now, with booze, and I am going to get drunk and let my husband drive me home.
