I'm still in a lot of pain. Seven more days until the pain goes away. Seven days. How is it even possible that a period could cause pain that lasted for eleven days? And yet it has always been so for me. The forecast calls for rain all weekend. I am actually happy about that. It suits my mood lately. All I feel like doing is laying around in my sweatpants with a heating pad on my abdomen anyway. At least if it's raining I won't feel like I'm missing being outside. Joe and I had a fight last night. A huge, ugly fight. Those are rare for us. It was about money(lack thereof) and finances, of course. There is so much stress on our relationship right now. I know it will get better and I know we will make it through this. It just feels so bleak right now.
