the big red clue phone

Do you think I could arrange to have a letter mailed to me every four weeks, to arrive on Monday? (I could set a reminder in Outlook, at work, but a real letter would be more effective.) I would want the letter to say:

Dear Self:

Either tomorrow or the next day, you will begin your monthly period. You should be aware of this because you started taking green pills on Sunday.

Please note!

1. You may experience one or both of the following: insomnia, need for lots of sleep, dull stupor during waking hours.
2. You will get a nasty headache, and possibly your neck will tense up.
3. You will crave chocolate, and you should not give in to this craving.
4. You will be whiny and stupid.
5. The day your period starts, pack an extra tampon, an extra panty-liner, and two Extra-Strength Tylenol gel caplets in your jeans pockets.

Don't worry, because your husband will probably be very sympathetic, rub your neck, and may even make you corn chowder for dinner. But heed these warnings!!! And do not wonder what the hell is wrong with you when this happens. It happens every month. There is no mystery.

Fondly,
Self

HA HA HA HA!

Now, let the record show that I am an absent-minded person, but I haven't forgotten about THAT since...well, since the little green pill was there to remind me!

Now I just wish my supervisor would realize that yeah, I'm gonna be dumb one day a month. If that's going to impair her opinion of me so much, maybe I should just stay home....

I wish I could stop wondering every single month why I have gained 5-10 pounds! I start to feel all guilty and shit and wonder how it could possibly happen when I workout all the time. Then I realize why. Every month. I really do need that big red clue phone!
