Erg. (TMI warning)

I'm sitting here with a hot water bottle down the front of my track pants. No, I'm not getting a strange hot water bottle fetish, it's the only thing that's letting me sit upright at the moment, instead of curling into a foetal ball. For some unknown reason, my body has decided to take an unpleasant, but perfectly normal, bodily function and make me, well, unable to function.

*winces* I haven't had cramps this bad since high school, when I used to pass out on a regular basis from the pain. I barely slept last night, and breakfast has consisted of a cup of tea and two Neurofen - and since I could barely stand in the shower, I wasn't going to go to work today. *winces again* That means I've missed both court days. Shit. And since I don't have a car and neither does mum at the moment, I can't get to the doctor - not that he could do much that I'm not already doing.

I'm probably going to go curl up on the couch with the doona and my hot water bottle soonish and watch bad daytime TV. I'll catch you later. But at least I know why I've been so moody over the past few days - this is one humdinger of a period.
