The Truth is (mostly) Out There

Even though several thoughts are swimming in my mind, I am not sure how coherently I can thread them into a post.

Mostly, the news is that I am back.

And yes, combining tampons and sanitary napkins helped me manage my periods well, because I could stay away from the loo for extended time periods.

My periods should have ended on Saturday, October 31 but minor spotting persisted yesterday, and when I saw a fresh red stain today as well, I decided that I had had enough. So, with today's Metformin, I combined an Etosys-MF and no ASA, and Etosys has done its work. No spotting, no irritation and all.

Weddings are a potent time to get fresh bruises. Luckily, I came out unscathed. The first day though, I and my SIL were halted by a neighbour at her gate (while we were walking towards the groom's house), and her blessing to me was


"Bhagwan tumhari god jaldi bhare." i.e. Hoping God will bless you with a baby in your lap soon.


Unwarranted, but true.

The actual wedding did not have any neighbour acts, even though I was mentally expecting such things to happen to me.

It amused me to catch myself thinking of how free I was. Most of the mothers were too busy running after their kids or running away from their kids.

Even my niece went cranky-doodle on the afternoon of Wedding D-day.

I was looking at the bride and mentally munching on how soon would she start trying...

  2. So happy that the wedding was unscathing. Those life-cycle events seem to bring out the worst in some, don't they?

  3. Glad the wedding came off without bruises, and that you felt a sense of freedom.

    Did that neighbor's blessing come out of the blue?

  5. I hope the blessing was more of a prediction.

    Yes, weddings can be painful for so many reasons. I'm glad you came out on the other side with no wounds.

  10. Even now, I do that at weddings... wonder how soon the bride will start trying, how soon it will work for them, without the heartache or worry. Which isn't always fair, but usually...
