Tonight I am tired, sick, having my period, and am fasting for my blood work tomorrow morning.
Oh, yeah... and I have been reading feminist theory all day today.

Is there anything else I could possibly do to make my evening more miserable?

Suggestions? Suggestions, anyone? :shrug:

5. I'd say stab your eyes with a fork... but someone already mentioned the Real Housewives
Can I tell ya I feel your pain on the whole period thing, and it sucks to fast...had to last week for my doctor appt, then proceeded to scarf half a pizza

I guess you could always turn on Fox and try to not barf?

6. My dear Writer...
I'm sorry you're having such a sucky evening...

Since you're fasting, no wine or chocolate...alas!

I hope that you will soon feel much better, and that your lab work will be perfect...

:hug:

8. Don't forget to stub your toe at some point.
Really wrap it around backwards so your toe nail scrapes the top of your foot. That ALWAYS makes misery even more miserable.

That's what I always do, anyhow. :shrug:

I'm still waiting on Aunt Flo to arrive, but I know she's on the way. Yesterday, I wanted to fling myself off a bridge, with or without water under it, didn't matter. Today, I have felt strangely calm in that kind of way where if one single thing goes like it did yesterday, my head would do a 360 degree turn and my eyes would shoot death rays out of them. Wait'll Aunt Flo gets here. Boy have I got a few bones to pick with her.

Hope your misery goes away soon. :hug:

15. Fasting can just be food...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting

Actually, I have weirdo friend who claims liquids are not "food" when we play "Scattegories"...

I know that some people on hunger strikes (and diets, for that matter) don't eat, but ingest liquids ...

16. If you are fasting for a bloodwork test that includes that fasting blood glucose test
it can be NOTHING but water or black coffee...no broth, nothing. Minimum 12 hour fast.

That is why the labs are batshit insane in the AM....everyone wanting to get it over with so they can have coffee..I just did this 2 weeks ago myself....
