I have had a rough week. I had mentioned before that Michael's grandparents had been a little tense around us in the last few months. A phone call between Michael and his drunken grandfather last week finally told us what the tension was about.

I don't have the energy to put it all into words. I have felt so depressed, pissed, and demoralized this week. You can read the gory details on Michael's blog, restlessmind.diaryland.com.

Since he wrote that last post he has talked with his grandmother at length about everything and she said she does not agree with what he said and she should never of let Ned "Call y'all when he was in that condition (drunk)"

I guess she thinks I should just forget about what was said and not worry about Ned. I'm sorry but I took what he accused me of very seriously, even though he was speaking with Michael and didn't know I was listening, I am still hurt and betrayed.

She went on to tell Michael that she loved me when I was just a significant other and now that we are married, we'll I am now part of the family, even if I hate them now. Michael seems to have forgiven her somewhat, maybe they had a nice conversation, but I am not ready to forgive and forget.

In other news, I haven't met my exercise goal for last week. I have felt especially hormonal the last 2 weeks and my cycle started last week. It hasn't been this heavy in weeks. I came home from work friday, stripped off my clothes and hopped in the bath. Then I laid down for a while to try and relax between very frequent trips to the bathroom and into the bath again. I am such a party animal.

Does anyone have any tips for stopping my bleeding? I have tried my usual method. It isn't scientifically sound, but whenever I go to the store mid-cycle and purchase tampons, especially a large box, my period instantly ends. It isn't working this time.
