1. I have cramps

Mon Sep 2, 2013, 01:59 PM

Sep 2013

a bad headache and feel generally like I want to bitch at everyone around me, so I'm keeping to myself. This isn't a joke, I'm serious. I haven't had one this bad for years. I'm off today, thankfully, since it is Labor day and I am trying to take it easy, but I can't decide if I'm pissed that no one is around, or if I should be glad.

I guess I took my complaints here. I just needed to express it.
