Not very well, since I don't react well to iron pills. I tend to gobble any beef offered to me, and right now I'm swilling down cheap duck meat.

Lots of broccoli dishes and saag paneer and dried apricots, that kind of thing? I end up doing a lot of that too, and mine are on the sparse side! I hope your iron restores quickly with all that duck meat.

Oh! Do you do that thing, too, where you'll end up sleeping for 14 hours a day for a couple days just after your flow hits?

I am not so sore any more just in a few parts.

I wish I could make up my mind what I want to draw. I do have a couple of my fairy tales story characters. I will be coloring them soon. I'm being lazy.

**hugs DC**

No. I can't afford a lot of that, and my insides would make me want to be dead if I ate that much fibre.

I sleep a lot more than usual sometimes, that's for certain.

Huh. Broccoli and spinach and dried fruit are all a lot cheaper than meat, here. I guess we all just take what we can with what we have.

I'm kind of glad I'm not the only one who ends up sleeping that much. It's so clearly consistent with the menses most of the time I can just shrug it off as one more thing to deal with but every once in a while, since no one else does it I get all paranoid about maybe it being a sign of something worse. So it's kind of reassuring to find someone else who does the same thing.

Broccoli and dried fruit are the fibre things that make my insides cry. I like them better than candy, but they hate me.

LOL Yeah. Not always, but often. Right now I'm having cramps right through my painkiller, too.

Ooof, no fun at all. I hope they don't last long and that you get some good rest despite them.

Years of uncomfortable living have made me more able to sleep through pain and discomfort than whispering.

x-x i stayed up late again writing... and then kitty wouldn't let me sleep... tried to take a nap in my room and ended up feeling cold even though i had like 3 blankets on me and the window isn't open..

I wish I could write, but my brain is blank.

I had problems with my kitties. Thor and Boomer had wild hares up their butts and ran around the house and into my room and ran over my body. Kept me awake till about 2am.

Weird about being cold without a reason. Except maybe a ghost.
