As I wrote yesterday, my hormones go haywire during my period. Just like today. I have this mind-bending headache that I had to sleep more than necessary. I had to take naps in between editing. My body just wouldn’t cooperate–it’s like I’m coming down with flu only it doesn’t involve the upper respiratory system. It’s like I’m just dragging my body; I just want to curl up in bed and sleep.

But work I must. I was on editing duty today and had no choice but to fix broken stories…One particular story from India today pushed my buttons. Rather than suffer a long back and forth email thread with the writer, I just rewrote the thing so that we would be over and done with it. My editing queue was long; I also had to attend a conference and write my own story today.

All in all, it was a tiring Monday and I already want the weekend to come. Weekends are too short.

I can’t wait for my vacation leave to start.

Some PR friends did cheer me up today with this. although it’s 2 weeks too early for a birthday cake. And I’m supposed to limit my calorie intake. 😝

It was yummy though. 😁

It satisfied my need for sugar, which can run low during menstrual period.

I’m tired.
