The Review Ballerina: When the day turns red...

Current mood: Trying to channel "professional blogger" energy while my uterus is actively staging a violent coup.

If you see me smiling in this picture, please know it is a lie fueled entirely by Ibuprofen, a heating pad, and a desperate amount of sugar-free chocolate.

The amount of sheer willpower it takes to not tell the entire world to please just shut up today is astronomical.

Honestly, I just want to crawl back into bed, curl up with SimonTam (who is currently hogging my heating pad, by the way), and sleep until I’m a new person. But no, we smile, we type, and we pretend we aren't suffering. Being a woman is fun, right? Whimper.

Send good vibes... and maybe more snacks. Please.
