Waiting for a smile

Step away from the computer if talk of menstrual cycles and such makes for uncomfortable silences.
As I've entered the middle age stage of my life, there have been a few missed periods over the last two years. Not many, but for someone who has had the constant for thirty some years, even one or two seems odd. So last month was one of those that was overlooked by the hormone calender. And two nights ago, right in the middle of the lunar eclipse, not even close to adhering to any particular schedule, I got it. I am a Moon Child for those at all in step with that wacky newfangled astrology stuff, so there it is. Another bit of evidence that this shit can get weird and, somewhat messy.
