Not my favorite

hillarygayleBehind this cut I will be complaining about the drawbacks of having my period. If that kinda thing is not your cup of tea, run along plzkthx.
So today I am so bloated that it's HURTING and making my skin itch. That kind of sucks. It's cool that I don't have to go out and that I can stay home wearing this huge, flowy black skirt I've got, but still. I'd rather stay home & be COMFY in the skirt than to sit here being less miserable in it than I'd be in anything else.
I have 2 loops on my favorite belt: one is worn much more than the other one, but the 2nd one shows more wear than any of the others. One is the notch I wear all the time, and the other is the notch I have to use during the few days right before my period. -_-
Do any of you guys get digestive issues along with your period? If you don't, you're lucky. The hormones that cause the uterus to contract (which results in you having your period & cramps & other such fun times) are non-specific. They cause all smooth muscle in the body to react that same. This has a delightful effect on my intestines, meaning I get gas and cramps and to run continually to the toilet in ADDITION to bleeding from an orifice that is usually only about Fun Times (well, and once upon a time was about "having a baby", but that was fun in the beginning too). It's delightful because I have uterine cramps in the front an intestinal cramps all along my back and sides.
You know what increases the effect of muscle contractions? Caffeine. You know what I have every morning and will cry if I don't get? Coffee.
Also, because the universe hates me, this time of the month is always when Ganon will need me to do a lot of bending and lifting.
I have ibuprofen. I'm going to take a lot of it now.
Yesterday I found someone who had figured out what I already wanted to do with Flickr. I will share it with you! Posting to Dreamwidth blogs via Flickr. It works neatly, as you can see in my previous entries. I was looking up the wrong API; I had once used Atom to post to LJ via LoudTwitter, so I assumed that Dreamwidth would work on the same concept. It never would've occurred to me that it might be the Blogger API, which was also an option on Flickr.
Another thing that bothers me about Flickr is that I had to change my primary blog from LJ to DW. You can post a photo to your primary blog via Flickr by sending an email with a picture to your regular Flickr address with a "2blog" extention before the @, but only to your primary blog. If you have multiple blogs set up at Flickr, you can only choose one to which you can post by email. It seems like it wouldn't be that hard to add another bit to that to tell Flickr to which blog you'd like to send this photo, like "donkle84nuts2blogLJ@flickr.com" versus "donkle84nuts2blogDW@flickr.com". Or even just numbers. It shouldn't be such a big deal to me because I have tons of storage space at LJ and can always use the Livejournal app on my iPhone to post to that one. Setting up my primary posting journal to be DW means I can now post photos on the run to DW and to LJ. It does bug me on principle, though.
On Saturday, when Q & I went to the Memphis Farmer's Market & had a delightful day, I neglected to buy more coffee from the delightful McCarter Coffee Company. I love how their tagline says "the best coffee you'll ever taste" because you guys, I'm not sure it's an exaggeration. This is some of the boldest, smoothest coffee with the neatest, most distinct bite. I got the Rwandan and I just ground the last of it yesterday. I think that might be enough to get me through this weekend but holy cow. I'm never going to want to order from another roaster again. The Rwanda is good, the Burundi looks intriguing, Kenyan AA is always amazing (o u c whut i did thar?) and in a revelation that makes my little African-coffee-loving-heart sing, they have a Tanzanian blend. <33333
Oh dear. I just talked myself into ordering a bag of Tanzania whole bean. Anyone want to come over for coffee & donuts?
Every spring, without fail, I get the urge to start painting my toenails. All of my polishes right now are old & not very great anymore. I hear OPI has a new brand they're selling at Target. Most intriguing; if Ganon & I go into town this week, I might give that a look.
