Yays! Just got my seeekrit santa info. Can I say BOUNCE? Cause, well, yeah!
It appears that K-Bug has earned a 3.75 unweighted/4.25 weighted for her first quarter of her junior year. That includes 1 HP and 2 AP courses.
You turned evil a lot faster than I thought you would.

There are drugs they can give you to lessen the PMS symptoms if it's becoming a big problem.
I've talked to my GYN and my GP about this, and apparently the drugs that are available to help with PMS symptoms are anti-depressants that have to be taken all the time. Which is a route I'd rather not go down; it seems like overkill for something that happens infrequently.
Also, I have some chocolate and salty snacks I can pour through the internet, if you like.
Tempting, tempting. Pete has offered to take me out later for cupcakes and thrift shopping.
Trudy, I would try your suggestion except (1) I don't know who of my friends I would need to talk to to get some, and (2) Pete would be SO very not thrilled at the notion.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Go, K-Bug!

What is even happening?
Jilli, I used to work with a woman who had the worst PMS I've ever seen. She had to drastically cut back on her caffeine. It was a lifestyle change thing. She may even have had to eliminate it, altogether, because I remember knowing she'd fallen off the caffeine wagon, by just the look on her face.
If you have much caffeine, you might want to reduce it. I'm sorry. I feel ugly even suggesting this, because caffeine is my heart's blood.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I believe in benefits for same sex partners, but I also believe in benefits for others with non-traditional arrangements (like two divorced sisters living together with one working outside of the home and the other taking care of all of the kids). I hope that's next.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am on a low dose of Lexapro, which is used for PMS. It helped a lot with that and with insomnia.

Mostly lurking...
I've talked to my GYN and my GP about this, and apparently the drugs that are available to help with PMS symptoms are anti-depressants that have to be taken all the time.
Really? They gave me Naproxen and had me start it the day before my period started, and I took it through day three.
Go K-Bug!!!

Reducing caffeine and increasing calcium seems to be the common wisdom these days for self-care. Also, I know that you take walks at work, and you shouldn't stop that bit of exercise even if you are at home. {{Jilli}} Feel better.
GO K-BUG!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
So, you know how RUMSFELD RESIGNED?
As it turns out, the first people to have the inside scoop were...Comedy Central:
Yep, it's true. Defense Secretary Donald Rumseld is packing it in. This won't come as a shock to those of you who keep in touch with the muckraking journal which broke the story late last evening, the Wall Street Jour-- er, the New York T-- er, the National Enq-- huh? Oh, right, the Comedy Central blog. Nice work, media! You got scooped by the folks who write web promos for Mind of Mencia!
