A heavy lassitude is gradually reinfiltrating every cell of my being. Is it almost time to hibernate, I wonder? I sure wish I could have stayed bundled up in bed today.
I have a cleaning gig right after work and dear God have mercy on me, I’d give anything not to have to do it. Why oh why did this gig have to fall on the first day of my period, the day when I feel the absolute worst in the entire month, the day when I curse God with all my might for making me a woman?!
Tonight I will have to get my body through three and a half hours of exhausting physical labor. (I could bawl my head off just thinking about it.) Without a moment of respite, I will have to stand, reach, bend, kneel, stoop, contort because a lazy, not to mention cheap, bunch of young working professionals waited six fucking weeks to call me back to clean their filthy mess of a house!
(Thank heavens I didn’t forget my bottle of Ibuprofen pills. I sure am going to need it.)
