I am, honestly, a reasonably intelligent and sensible creature, apart from, about 5 days before my period hits, I start behaving in the most batshit ways!
My classic trick is to make cups of tea without boiling the kettle first. I'll stand at the tea-station muttering obscenities and bashing the teabag with the spoon wondering why the bloody hell it won't make the water brown. Then I'll suddenly realise and have to march out to the kitchen sink, still muttering, to empty the lot and start again.
I usually lose a combination of two or more of the following; my watch, my glasses, my wallet, my phone, my house keys, my car keys, the car.
This month I've excelled myself. I was soaking in a hot bath (because Mother Nature deems my blood pressure should sink to the floor before my period, so I'll be freezing as well as stupid) and looked to the corner where the bath plug usually sits.
I got cross. Clearly DS has been up to his old trick of pulling out the plug and flinging it across the bathroom so that nobody can find it again. That's why we agreed it should sit on that corner. So we can bloody find it. Mutter, mutter mutter. I touch it with my foot, and realise that's where it is.
I thought, because I'm a complete numpty at the moment, 'I'd better just but it back where it belongs, so we can find it again.' It wasn't until the sound of the gurgling drain hit me that I realised the extent of my numptiness.
Please someone tell me I'm not alone in this! Surely I'm not the only one who has these moments of 'what the hell do I think I'm doing?'
