I ended up lying down at about 8:30 last night but not turning off the light until Scott came to bed at 10:30. I was just too exhausted to stay upright. I’d probably have turned out the light sooner, but I got up like three times to use the bathroom. I slept pretty soundly apart from waking at 2:00 with a cramp in my left calf. Scott says he woke then but didn’t realize that I was hurting. I got enough of the cramp released that I could limp to the bathroom, but it still hurt a lot. I got up about 10:00 this morning and probably could have slept several hours more.

I’m on day eight of my period, but I think it’s ending.

I’ve been up for a while and am still not entirely awake.

Scott bought the new Ghostbusters movie on his way home last night. We watched maybe a third of it before Cordelia realized that she really wanted to see the new episode of Legends of Tomorrow. I think I want to rewatch that first part because I was so exhausted that I felt utterly detached from it. Then again, I’m not sure that I could because of the crap the characters have to deal with. I think that my problem was that I was too tired to find anything funny. It frustrates me because I’ve been looking forward to seeing this movie ever since I first heard about it. Scott and Cordelia saw it in the theater, but I couldn’t because of the migraine thing.

Scott will be on vacation next week. At this point, he’s expecting to have to work tomorrow in spite of that. Technically, when people take a week off, it runs from Monday to the following Sunday. It’s unofficial policy to try to give people the weekend before, too, but it doesn’t always happen. Scott has had the last two weekends off, so him working this weekend is very likely.

{{hugs}} I empathize. I hope you find the movie more accessible later; it's one of my favorite movies of 2016, possibly even THE favorite.

I'm hopeful. I might have trouble going back to it if I was watching it alone, but Scott and Cordelia want me to see it. That will help immensely.

I'm sorry you're so wiped out.

Thanks. I'm hoping that I'll wake up more as the day goes on.

Day 8! Ugh! I'm spoiled now that mine's gone down to 3.

I'm completely turned off comedies now, the past few years. I don't know that Ghostbusters is billed as that exactly? I liked the first one when I was a kid but barely remember it really. That detached feeling sucks...a sure sign you should just try watching it another time.

I'm reading The Fruit of Your Intents as bedtime reading, and quite enjoying it :) Almost done! (yeah my choice of bedtime reading material might be a bit wonky)

I just posted the next story in the series that starts with The Fruit of Your Intents. I don't normally write this fast, and I will probably find half a dozen typos to correct tomorrow, but I wanted it posted and done.

It's here: http://archiveofourown.org/works/8292397

It's 4600 words, Luke's POV, him and Martin interacting. I rated it E, but I'm not sure that M wouldn't have fit better as the sex is about 200 words out of the entire thing and most of that isn't body parts doing things.

I think that Ghostbusters is definitely a comedy, and I'm pretty sure it was marketed that way. I think that part of my problem with it was that I wasn't finding it funny to watch these women trying to deal with the bullshit that the men around them dump on them. It was, I don't know, a little too close to home? I think that part appealed heavily to a lot of women who went to see it and was good set up for the eventual complete triumph, but it made the first half of the movie very hard for me.

As to periods, I really, really miss my IUD.
