Too much, too soon (Warning: mention of menstruation)

I woke up, was bleeding quite a lot (that time of the month), cleaned that up, then immediately started cleaning the bathroom. Then I put all the cleaning cloths/mop in the washing machine and started to clean the kitchen (with new cloths of course).

I had not had any food or water yet, and I am extra aenemic from blood loss. So I started to feel really faint and actually had to brace myself against the counter to not fall down.

I am a fainter and I hate it. 🙃 I faint if it's too hot, too humid, if I'm too hungry or thirsty, or if I lose too much blood. I remember as a kid I got a nosebleed from being outside in the heat too long, and I passed out and woke up at the hospital. 😬 Another time, I was at the Renaissance Festival in May, and got so hot that I fainted in front of everyone 😳.

So yeah this morning I had to sit tf down, eat, have some water, and take an iron pill. Whew. Good times. 😒

Being a woman isn’t easy in this regard sometimes, you have my empathy.
