So, not advisable:

1) make a counting-mistake with regards to your period and days since last

2) wear white trousers

3) bring no pads to work

Happily, it started with my last meeting AND I'd brought a very nice, long cardigan to cover up in while I rushed into town, bought new pads, new pants and something new to wear

(bonus: my parents were doing a showing of our apartment today because they're selling it, so I couldn't go home and change)

Also happily, I hand-washed my trousers - which happen to be my only pair of trousers, as in, the ONLY - and they're once again white and pretty

But for God's sake.

Crazy.
