Ovulation Blues
Hey there! How have you been?
Been a while! I know! The month of June is my birth month and it is usually a good month for me in many different ways.
It was my 38th this month😁. I look so forward to being 40 by God’s grace.
I am grateful for a lot of things in my life. I have so much that I feel like I have not achieved but there is also so much I have to be thankful for. I choose to focus on Thanksgiving and recognising how much God has pulled me through.😊
I digress!
This post is actually meant to be a rant to make me feel better. Today is that day of th month when my body prepares itself for a baby,everything begins to ‘lush up’ ,egg gets released,waits hopefully in the fallopian tube to see if it will be fusing with a visitor and I am like “no babe! I ain’t having any of that”😅
This is how I think of ovulation. Weird?So at times like this,my body goes crazy in either of three ways;I am either craving different things and constantly hungry or finding something to nibble on or the other extreme of I feel bloated and I can’t eat or suffer indigestion if I really do eat.
This month,it is the latter.I woke up moody and completely uninterested in food. I do not like to skip breakfast,so I had a cup of cinnamon and ginger tea and one hard boiled egg.
I could not eat any other thing till about 5.30pm when I had efo riro and a small size of eba(I generally stay away from eba but my yard pipu love eba) and I was too lazy to make oats swallow for myself)
I had that eba and lots of vegetable soup with fish. Now,I can’t sleep. I am so uncomfortable. I meant to walk this evening but my tummy feels like I swallowed concrete. To think that I ate over 6 long hours ago.🙄
Oh and the third extreme?I am either ogling Mike and lustfully following him around or I am just generally acting like a cat around him. By the way,I find cats annoying a lot of times,all that rubbing up against my ankle is just not my thing😒.
What exactly am I getting at? Being a woman is so hard sometimes. Hormones are just sometimes all over the place. From running away from pregnancy to trying to be pregnant,to preventing pregnancy,to menstruation,to ovulation,to pregnancy,to childbirth and it goes on and on till menopause and all of that. Phew!
I had to chew Danacid tonight to relieve myself of the bloated feeling and indigestion. And here is Mike, sleeping peacefully beside me😒
Thankfully,I am not at the third extreme tonight,so he can sleep without worrying about me jumping him😀.
Like I said,this is a rant! I think I am done now and I actually do feel better. I can try to catch some sleep.😁
Do have a good night and please stay safe,be happy and continue to protect yourself and loved ones from Covid-19 and all else that is wrong with the world.
