Adult Woman Dinner Diaries #3
Picture A: Ben brought me coffee in bed. Picture B: I made green tea at work.
Today Ben made me some more tacos like we had last night to take to work for lunch, and then for dinner kept it real simple with some rice and chicken and frozen mixed veggies that was ready when I got home. I forgot to take a picture but NGL it was not an exciting meal to look at, just butter and some seasonings, but it was delicious and I wolfed it down when I got home! He really takes good care of me.
Well this morning I called my PCP to make a doctor appointment. She’s on leave so can’t see me til next month but that’s sooner than my OBGYN can fit me in, so! Steps!
I also made an appointment for us to look at apartments on Friday. We are probably going to downsize when our lease is up in about two months. Sad because I like this apartment but we can probably save 3-400 in rent in a smaller place.
All this AND I started my period (barely). I mean I have cramps and I’m laying down with my heating pad but the bleeding has barely started yet. I have a pad on because it’s not even enough blood for a tampon. Like every other month I have super intense cramps and a heavier flow (like, medium heavy) and every other month I have medium level cramps and a lighter flow. This is another reason I don’t think my OBGYNs solution for period pain is it: taking Progestin only might thin my uterine lining, but I still have cramps and back pain even if my flow is light, and also the light flow is kind of annoying because I have to use pads instead of tampons #NOTmyPreference
although… maybe it’s time to invest in period panties. Especially if I DO get on birth control after all…
