Menstrual Hut

[Vivacia]

Well yet again I slink in here suffering...

and to make things even better for me this time round, when I am feeling like crap, in pain, and just want to make the world go away...

I am going to Scotland (approx a 6hr drive for us) to meet the woman that BasilDD called his wife for 21yrs, why? because their daughter is getting married next month and I didn't want there to be any "friction" on the wedding day for her.

They are still officially married, (they have been seperated just about 15 months now) so it should be interesting for me... <sigh>

The things we do for love huh?

oh well - life goes on so they tell me - hope none of my fellow "tenters" are feeling too yucky at the moment!

As the full moon approaches, pain in my tummy increases. I'm over-emotional, as well. I stopped my birth control pills, which were really a hormonal treatment, and I was hoping that the lunar cycle would guide me, again. But against gyn. reccommendations, I needed to let go of pills. I just need to see if my body will release, on it's own. The pain is worth it.

Manu took me shopping and out to lunch, but I'm still in a foul mood. My head hurts. My boobs are sore. I'm edgy. I feel lonely and disconnected. Argh. I hate this.

Guru, you get your turn in the Hut when you grow ovaries and lose the Adam's Apple.



I'm dangerously bitchy.
My turn to occupy a corner here is coming on strong.



Where are the copies of The Red Tent?
Who's got them?
Where are they supposed to be?

[cymbidia]

Oh yeh. Oh definitely yes. Men can indeed be bitchy, as i'm certain we all know only too well.

And, as well you know, the Tent here is not about bitchy as much as it's about bleeding - and not the kind you do when you scratch a mosquito bite too much, either. In that context, bitchy is just a little bit extra the gods saw fit to grant us before, during and even sometimes after we are in our moontime.

If you go back to the first few pages of this thread and poke around everthing posted to the GB at that general time, you'll see that someone (scylis????) tried to begin something for y'all with the dangly bits.

A couple times.

Didn't work. Y'all are too hung up on tits and ass and beer and TV to stay on topic for more than 3 or 4 posts.





My 13 year old daughter and i are cycling together now.
Good times for all, let me tell you!

here you go:

For Guru and all the other dudes

A woman's menses in ancient polynesia was a sign of great respect. Many peoples around the word looked on it very much the same way. The woman were given a hut of their own during that time. It was a sign of the upcoming fertility.
where did we ever develope the "ick" factor about something that was once held in such high respect?

Excellent question! I've never considered my period to be much of an "ick" factor and have rarely been embarassed by it, except for the rare "oops" where I have red stains on my clothes from accidents. Even then, it is the stain that is embarassing, not the fact that I have my period. After all, it is common to all women of child-bearing age. Bleeding isn't unusual in any way!

One nice thing I've learned since I've been at Lit is that there is far less of an "ick" factor among people than I thought. It drives me crazy in RL when women talk about "their friend visiting" or "Aunt Flo being here this week." Why not just say you are on your period? Those cute phrases don't generally get used at Lit. Same for the men, so many of them here talk about periods as a normal kind of thing. No "ick" accusations at all.

Well, here we are again! I've got my "from scratch" brownies here - want some?

And did anyone bring movies????

Cym - I have a copy of The Red Tent if anyone wants to borrow it - just pm me an addy and I'll get it right out. I'd love to share it with someone.

Well I am back, and it wasn't to bad after all...

Sorry to see that some of you are feeling sore and bad tempered <hugs you all and hands around a massive plate of Chocolate chip cookies>

As for me, well I am about ready to face the world again, it was short and realitively sweet this time around...

 

[roxie]

Ok pass the hot water bottle and the chocolate!

Alright so it's my turn in the hut.
This time, it really sucks. I hurt so bad, I could barely move out of my office this morning. I called the doc thinking he could call something in to the pharmacy for me, since neither the pamprin or the midol were touching the pain. He calls in Darvocet. I felt like screaming at him. I didn't break my leg, I just got my period! So I took one and now I'm so spaced, I'm lucky I know what planet I'm on, but no pain! I was even able to go for my walk this afternoon. Now of course, I just want to curl up and sleep.
I think I am going to go to bed early...yea right, as soon as CSI is over.

 

[cymbidia]

And now, it's me - and about fucking time! Now my skin will clear up and my moods (while never totally level, you understand) will even out a bit, too.

 

[ksmybuttons]

Damn, damn, damn. I hate the mess. I am just so tired of this. I was riding my scooter today. Even though I was well padded and plugged, I broke through. Just wears me out.


Damn.

 

[cymbidia]

What about clots?

Today, i passed (is that the right term?) the biggest clot i've ever seen. It was gigantic, relatively speaking. I felt it coming out.

Spontaneous abortion?
Change in body chemistry?
I've been doing a lot of unpacking and moving furniture and boxes of books and stuff - maybe that had something to do with it?

What the fuck?

This is one of those periods where I can't stop crying. I have been totally emotional this time. I don't understand it, because I am never this emotional. I can't stop crying and my SO thinks I have lost my mind.
