What do you get when you combine a major trip and PMS? An absolutely crazy woman. I couldn't even sleep last night because I felt "off." I even missed a dentist appointment this morning that I called to confirm yesterday. I am so embarrased. I just feel anxious and unsettled. I could use some love. I'm sure you all are reading this thinking I'm nuts to feel anything but crazy excited, but I can't help it. PMS destroys any sense of practicality a woman has.

Posted by: Lisanne at July 7, 2005 03:57 PMYeah a swim, some quiet time, a good book, a hot cup of tea and rest! Don't stress too much, dear. It's going to be fine :) drink lots of water too - it's good for you especially since you have a long flight to tackle soon.
Posted by: stef & mike at July 7, 2005 05:52 PMwhenever i am stressed like that i usually do some crafting or cooking or baking. i am weird i know but it usually takes my mind of the thing that was stressing me out in the first place.
Posted by: Feli at July 7, 2005 09:32 PMYou know, I think it's natural to feel a little anxious about your upcoming trip - it's a big deal & travel is stressful, even if it is for fun. What about meditating? I find it helps.
Posted by: Deb at July 8, 2005 12:26 AMTry a cup of tea AND a chocolate...chocolate always helps me with pms...although it's been nearly 9 months since I had a bout of pms....
