well, at least it explains why I was weepy & insecure yesterday

You know you're an optimist when you try to appreciate the female form, the uterus in all its glory, when you have cramps reminiscent of early labor, for it is a mighty mighty muscle, and where would be without it. Amen.

At least this is what I told myself, before self pity and general grumpiness poured over me, in the wee hours of the morning, when all was still and the rain came down.
