Playing by the Numbers

[c4bl3fl4m3.livejournal.com]

I just started my moontime today. And I know that statistics say that with the number of people in this group, at least one other woman has started her moontime today as well. So... who ELSE out there got their period today?

I'm thinking of doing something special for my period again. Even if it's as simple as going out for sushi or something... what should I do?

I bought a tub of Godiva icecream. I'm a Menstrual Princess!

Well I have a funny story, I read this post at about noon and thought I'm not in the hut! then 5 minutes later I went to take a shower and what happened but I started! I felt the need to come back and announce it :) I got my hair cut so I guess that's my special thing for the day.

I try to do something special just for me. So I'll take a little while to read a book that I've had in the back of my pile or something like that. Doing it over sushi sounds sublime :-) I am very careful to take at least two hours for just me. That just me time may be out in public (shopping for something, eating out, sitting in a park, etc.) or it may be at home, but it's special just ourika time.

I'm in the hut!
I didn't start today, but in the early hours of saturday morning, so i've still got my time. Kinda cool to think of someone on the other side of the world in the same situation :)

I tend to think about the fact that someone right now who I'll never meet who lives so far away is experiencing the same thing I am. There are surely massive amounts of people going through the same thing as I am. It gives me this very odd but comforting feeling.

During the summer months, I work on a festival in a tiny little office the size of a 1 bedroom apartment with anywhere from 6 to 12 other women and a couple men. Needless to say, we share real close quarters and get real comfortable around one another. By the time the festival itself rolls around in late August we're ALL on the same schedule. Chocolate cakes all around for lunch!

But I'd never really thought to treat myself to something special around that time. In fact, I normally feel so bad when I'm in the hut that I generally end up punishing myself, so to speak. I don't dress as cute as normal, and I don't really bother to fix my hair in hopes that it'll hide my face which usually breaks out when I'm starting. It's a great idea, though, and I'm definetly going to make it a habit.

I started on Monday too! At about 3 AM (luckily it woke me up so I didn't destroy my bedclothes). I treated myself to a cigarette.
