I've been complaining to EGM that I haven't felt like myself the past couple of days. Maybe I'm getting sick or something.
It was raining today and I knew the traffic would suck, so I left work a little early to try to beat the worst of it. Rather than having me pick him up on my way, EGM decided to work later and take public home.
My leaving-work-early plan was not effective. EGM called me while I was sitting in a horrible traffic jam. An excerpt:
Him: how are you feeling now?
Me: meh. Not sick, but I'm just so irritable. I'm even grouchy with myself! And I can't figure out why. I mean, I started my period today, but that doesn't usually affect my mood. [actually, my mood is disrupted about 5 days in advance]
Him: oh, well that's probably the reason.
Me: I don't think so. I never have problems the day I start.
Him: well, you are getting older...
Me: What?
Him: well, maybe things are changing as you age...you are getting older.
Me: that's fucking not the fucking reason.
Honestly, he usually knows better!

LOL... men. ;) Hope you're feeling better.
LOL - maybe he was just trying to get a reaction out of you?
Everything is allowed when you are PMSing. :)
Take care.
LOL!
I have been feeling exactly the same way as you lately - not sick, but not 100% well either, and definitely not my usual chipper self. I've been getting irrationally upset at little things, and I'm generally grouchy too. I'm in that 5 day window, and it's raining a LOT, so I guess it's PMS + SAD.
I'm trying to feed off the positive energy of other people, and it's actually working quite well! So just find someone who's happy about something to hang out with! (probably not EGM after this comment, lol)
Ahahaha!! Yeah, that's not the best thing to say. But I'm glad to see that he brought you some cake. :)
I did have this sort of thing change sometime in my thirties (not Old or oldER!!), from vague irritability the week before to strong irritability and ...indescribable something else... on the first day. I always needed honey in my tea that day, and just wanted hot baths and no work (impossible things). Hope whatever it is passes!
I'm happy to report that the irritability went away!
SF, can you not tell me things like that? Although I don't mind getting older, I have no intention of accepting that my body might be changing already.
