#got my period

I am in so much pain today. I was up late last night finishing an assignment and then woke up late today and spent nearly one hour in the shower and now laying on my bed with a hot water bottle and three Advil finally kicking in. I think maybe because I didn't go to acupuncture my last cycle or because of stress, I'm having this much pain. ugh. I'm in such a bad mood, don't want to talk or see anybody and have homework due tonight. I had to delay my travel plans for my sister's graduation because of this. I just can't imagine sitting in pain for hours in the car and then having to read at the same time. But these are the moments for which I'm eternally grateful: when I don't have to travel in pain and I can do my work peacefully in solitude in bed.
