Yesterday was one of those disgruntled days where no matter how much I accomplished and how much I tried to look on the bright side, I was just surly. Aaah, PMS, nothing like a bunch of progesterone to ruin my day. R and I are having a really busy week and I feel bad because I can tell that even though I try to phrase things the right way, my words have barbs and thorns on them. I can't seem to strip them from my tone. I've apologized and tried to make clear what I really mean, but that doesn't help the fact that I'm just stuck in hackles-up mode for the time being. Hopefully the flow will start soon, so rising estrogen will give me a sunny demeanor for the weekend.

Is that like a weather report? Can I have one on my browser toolbar?
"Hot flashes w/ bad sleep and grouchy" "Happy and highly sexed" "Crampy and bitchy" w/ a 5 day forecast, LOL.

Of course like the weather the predictions will always be wrong.

Well yeah, I find my hormonal cycles do tell me a lot about my moods (and my sex drive). I much prefer to scheduling high pressure events and social events before ovulation, when I have rising estrogen. My bitch-factor tends to surface without much reason after ovulation, with rising progesterone

BTW, I love your icon, can I steal it?

For sure! I forget where I saw the image originally. I've been having fun making icons.
