Called in sick

Today is the first day of my cycle and I was having crippling cramps: not able to stand up straight, dizzy and heavy bleeding. Plus DP and I are still fight a bug or cold of some sort.

Though today was supposed to be a rest day, I couldn't help but cook and so some laundry though I managed a 1 1/2 nap in the mid afternoon. I did some spinning on my bike for about 25 minutes and it did help some of the cramping (followed by a hot essential oil and Epsom salt bath).
