My Period Came

My period finally came.. Yay!
It is 2 weeks late.
I rang up my doctor last Friday," My period hasn't come this month. I wonder if there is something wrong with me. The last time this happened was when I moved here from China in March and I had to adjust to the warm weather and stuff like that."
Doctor, "Do you want to come to my office? We can do a quick pregnancy test."
Me," pregnancy test? I don't think I am pregnant though."
Doctor," Are you sure?"
Me,"Can you get pregnant from a public swimming pool?"
"No." he chuckled. (Doctors are not suppose to chuckle! and I was not trying to be funny.) "It could be stress from work."
Me, "Stress? I have no stress. Work has been slow lately."
Doctor,"People get stressed out from sudden decline of workload."
Me, "No kidding?!"
Doctor,"Yes. People get stressed out from boredom. You can come in for a quick check up if you want to. Otherwise, just try to relax. Don't stay up too late and drink lots of water."

After I hang up the phone, I made a note to remind myself to buy scented candles after work.
(You know, the ones that says "Calm" or something like it on the label.)
While I was lightening up candles later that night, I couldn't help thinking how sweet it would be if there was a boy I liked and he was here right then. A boy can help me relax much better than scented candles.
The thought of that and the possibility of never finding "the boy" got me all worked up again. I start to picture myself dying a lonly death. And no one found out about my dead body until couple weeks later. and when they did find it, no one could identify it...etc.. I grew more and more anxious as my imagination went wild. In the end, I didn't become as relaxed as I was supposed to be. But for some reason, my period decided to come,eventually, which is good, I mean, very good. so I am all jolly and happy now.......... Yay!
