I think my word would have to be "indulgent". I always feel a little different when I'm on my period, especially my heaviest days. I'm a little lazier, and everything I do seems to have a more luxurient feel to it. The feeling of bleeding, especially when I don't have anything I need to do, is very relaxing to me. My body craves different things- more fat and more iron (as I'm very slightly anemic) so I often treat myself to different foods, including fatty yummy things. I dont' have to worry about taking my birth control pill every day (one less thing to fret over). I get dressed and think, "So what if I wear sweats to class, I'm on my period." If I'm a little moody, or I need to cry for no reason, well darn it there's a good reason. The list goes on. My period is definitely my time to indulge and just relax a little.
