PMS BE GONEEE

Did it help? D:


My husband and I broke something today. Like, we wanted to re-program a coin-receiver thingie, we did it once for a new coin when we just bought it, buttt didn't go too well this time. Last time we got the thing to accept 200 huf, we wanted it to accept a NEW type of 100 huf coin and when we got it to accept it, the thing thought it was 200 huf.

Long story short, no success. Sooo, I decided I was bored with the office, hopped in the car and drove to Budapest. A whole drive with podcasts and music. It's been sooo long, damn you covid. Considered stopping by a fabric store as well, but decided against it in the end and went straight to Ikea. I was also hungry and I like their wraps. And cakes. And coffee. :) I don't like standing in line for meatballs, so haven't tasted them in my life.

Anywayssss, it was a superb day. I loved just looking around. Got some mugs I want to prettify with my sons as gifts for all the grandparents, found a neat rug on sale for my son's room, got some other nice tiny things. You know, the stuff you didn't know you were looking for untill you stopped at IKEA. They're great at that. XD But I finally found a replacement for my purple fold-up bag and this one has BLUE CATS!

When I got home, the bed sheets I ordered came and they're superb, so made the boys' beds. Feeling good now. :D

Reading your post, I just realized that I wanted to write in my previous post something about the period talk, but I got completely sidetracked by other thoughts I guess...

Period talk is totally okay, we stan it, lol

I'll probably suffer the pms instability for a few more days. My boobs are killing me. Oh well. At least I'm on vacation for the next week. Finally!

And what the hell is a coin-receiver? :D (P.S. It might be a stupid question 'cause it's late and I'm completely brainwashed after watching stand-up and cat videos on YT - I needed a laugh therapy, maybe, probably, lol)

Wow, sounds like you've had a productive and pleasant day! I'm low-key jealous I'll get my shit together tomorrow, I promise

Please, God, let me wake up at 8-ish tomorrow (I give my angels permission to slap me awake) so I can actually work on writing that website like it's my normal day of work. I don't want to fuck around anymore, I want to be gone from this corpo hell hole that I work at. Thank you, love you. Amen.

I don't think it's the official name, hence the "thingie". We sell milk, you throw in a coin, it'll give as much milk as the coin is worth. We just messed up the part that controlled that. But all fixed.

And not productive at all, it was just a fun day. :) Haven't got shit done, but it just felt good a day off by myself. ;-D

Yesssh, there are very neat washables. Similar size as throw away, maybe slightly thicker, but unnoticeable. The main reason I don't make them myself if that these have a softshell bottom? Dunno what it is. Totally leak-proof and different thicknesses. Also, cotton doesn't smell at all. compared to the throw-away one's, they're always nasty & sticky. I bought them from a local/hungarian brand (Emilla), like, wanted to support local, but there are many really. Those cups, dunno. Thought about it for a long, long time, but nah. These with tampons now and then and I'll survive. As for washing, I immediately rinse them in cold water, and when at home, I use "ossengalzeep", always have had that one for stains and they come out nicely. Cold water is the main magic trick really, that does the most.

Ikea is great for babystuff! <3 Those bibs are great and the antilop. Also really loved the covers for the changing pad and the towels. Those big one's with a hood. <3 <3 And all the cute stuff baby won't play with in the first months/year, but are still all wanna-have-them. But true, I also have some pieces. And they're super affordable, we started off with a car full of Ikea. There are still many years to go to put aside some funds to invest in pieces you truly love, but 'till then, sitting on a couch > sitting on the floor. Lol. And most stuff does look nice. :)

Changing stuff around in the house is just great. :) Changed around the curtains in the boys' room, had to hem one and managed to hem 2 pairs of shorts today as well. :)


Giving birth was ok, but I still fear the cups. I luckily never had cramps, I usually have 2 heavy flow days where I often use double protection and after that usually just a smaller pad is enough.

@Moi: Lol, I'm pretty sure it happened to me with your name too, like I'd spell Mio instead and be like, wait, that ain't right XD

Thank you! *hugs back*

@Jolien: I get it now! (can you tell I'm so proud of myself? lol)

A day off by yourself sounds productive to me


@periods: I've been considering a cup and still didn't get one. I don't want to trust the washable ones or the period pants etc. Mainly because I already don't appreciate the wetness of pads in general (vaginas are gross to me, lol), so I'd rather go for something tampon-like, except I can't wear tampons because they make my cramps worse and I don't need that. But it also makes me apprehensive with the cup.
I should make excuses for a living, seems I've mastered that shit

Anyways, a long time ago I promised myself I'd get a cup and, well, I haven't yet. Maybe this year XD Every month each pad I throw out sends me on a guilt trip
