Day 2: The Pain

Wow, does this suck!  I need to go back and read the beginnings of the other cycles.  Save the first one, I don't remember this level of misery!  But, to be honest, I have been strapping on the feed bag for some time now.

After years of monastic discipline being rewarded with totally inexplicable and unfair weight gain, I guess I got tired of it.  And when I gained my typical 20 pounds in two months after my surgery followed immediately by the holidays, in a way, I sort of said, "Screw it."  I LIKED eating what I wanted!  It was nice.

But, that's over now and here we are again.  And it sucks.  Yesterday was awful.  It didn't start out too bad.  Sure, I felt hungry, but not all that bad.  Then, around 10:00, the bad started.  I suddenly felt weak and dizzy, so I ate my breakfast apple.

Then, the hunger really didn't stop all that much, nor did the weakness.  Then the headache started, followed by the crappy mood.  I should have been locked in my kennel for snarling.  I even fell asleep on the couch during the middle of school.  After we got home from dance, I couldn't stay awake.  I finally got into bed at 8 and that was it.  I slept until 5:30.

This morning, so far, I'm marginally better.  I'm treating this transitional period as being sick, 'cause baby, I'm not well!  I know this will pass.  But right now, time moves all too slowly. 

Today should be better, we have less to do today, which is a very good thing.
