Aunt Flow

My period has finally arrived.  Sarcastic WOO.

But I'm also expelling a genuine WHEW.  I'm relieved.  My body isn't broken.  It's functioning the way it's supposed to, with bleeding and blood and everything.  Bleah.

And before I'm accused of being an ingrate, yes, I'm grateful for my period.  It definitely means I'm still fertile Myrtle.  It's a gift from God with a card that reads, "Woo!  You're a woman!" Menstruation is a monthly woman's day celebration of potential life, I know.  I'm very happy to have a super-plus tampon shoved up there.   However, I do feel like I'm being gyped out of party hats and cake.  

Please tell me the tampon isn't the party favor.  GAH-ROSS.

It's weird to be happy to get your period, but you are right, it is your body's way of assuring you that things are back to normal. So in that way, it is the beginning of new opportunity. It's still, and always will be, pretty gross though. You go, Fertile Myrtle!
