on... periods, i guess

I may have already mentioned that whenever I'm on my period, or am about to start it, I'll post "THERE WILL BE BLOOD" on my facebook. Since I started doing that, I feel like I've been bringing more and more (unnecessary) attention to my menstruation.

EARLIER TODAY, I was in the emergency room. It was nothing big, but long story short I was a visitor and ended up a patient because I almost passed out in the hallway and they made me go to ER. They just ran a few tests to make sure my heart was beating ok and they took my blood sugar and sent me on my way. But, when I had to have my blood sugar tested, my finger refused to bleed. The nurse pricked it and squeezed and squeezed and she couldn't get enough out so she had to get more blood from my other finger. My dad was there and trying to be goofy as usual and made some dumb comment asking where all of my blood went or was or where I was hiding it or something. I said, "WELL I AM MENSTRUATING!"

He was not pleased with that answer. The nurse half-laughed awkwardly.

This is why I'm single.
