This cottage is what I need. Today my hormones are RAGING, I mean RAGING. One or two days a month I NEED a little tiny room to escape from everyone. This is not just for me this is for my loved ones also. No one needs to be around me today. My skin feels like an electric current is running through it and anyone who says or does anything is making my body just want to leap out. I am crying at everything. Any blog I have read today has made me sob like a baby. I know this will pass. I know tomorrow I will wake up and the switch will be turned off and I'll think "Whew, I made it for another month" But today I need a cottage like this tucked away from my house.
Or maybe this simpler cement shed where I could soundproof the walls so no one could here me scream.

I could also take a cue from the African women who all gather together when they are having their periods and they all take care of each other. Today the mud hut looks so appealing. So for know I will dream up what my little tiny cottage will look like and cry more tears for no apparent reason.

Oh, my gosh. I want a hut; I want a shed. I want a little garden like that. I'm sorry to hear of your "troubles," and I know you've been reading of my Sophie's similar hormonal difficulties. Maybe I should get her one of those little houses, right? Feel better soon!
Oh my goodness, we should all rent out a cottage and cry together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!And yeah, I will take the pretty cottage pictured first...I already live in a little shit hut, and THAT is what is making me cry!!!!!!!!
LOVE this post. You are very funny when you are very sad.
Can't believe you mentioned the African hut where the women take care of each other!! I was JUST telling my daughter about that. We want one of those.
Can we market this idea? make it a franchise? Can we call it the "Maxi Pad"??!!(that would be a suite for a few women to share) or the "Mini Pad" for something more private. (We can decorate them with period furniture)
I Just got my period. Can I have the directions to the Maxi Pad? Do I need a reservation? SHall I bring jelly donuts? Can we knit tampon warmers? I make a great knit tampon warmer. Kate Winselt has bought a bunch from me.
Ok so I feel like I can write ANYTHING because I have come to think that Joyce has actually run away and locked herself inside of a cottage somewhere. JOYCE??????????? ARE YOU OK?????????????????? WHERE ARE YOU???????????????????? CAN I BORROW A TAMPON???????????????????
