Bloating Mona Lisas and Madhatters

This round of menses...makes me worse than a beached whale. It feels like I've put on 10kgs overnight. It's crazy. Water retention, anxiety, acne and bloating and all.


Yup...only less furry.

Am getting sleepy. Think I shall adjourn to bed with the textbook in hand.
