I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My CT scan results are normal*, so my primary care doctor referred me to a GI doctor. I'm wondering if this is just stress. We'll see. I have an appointment next week. If the answer turns out to be "meditate more, bro," I am going to be annoyed.
*The CT scan showed a 1-centimeter nodule on one of my adrenal glands, and my doctor said that in 99.5% of cases they're a benign oddity, but she asked me to get an MRI just to follow up and be sure. I'm going to do that next week, but I'm not too fussed about it.

Yay, normal! I got my mammogram results the other day, and they also came back normal.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Normal is good. Congratulations (throws confetti)! I feel the need to celebrate normal.

Normal is a relief, although my stomach is still being a jerk. It needs to get the message that everything is A-OK.

Steph, sorry your stomach is being a jerk. I mean, normal is good, but not know WTF is happening, STILL, is not.
So, Tom and I have rededicated ourselves to staying in this rental apartment (we've been here for 7+ years) and are investing in making it a better place for us to live. Is that like the absolute stupidest thing in the world to do, since we don't own the place? I'm trying to make sure that the stuff we purchase to do this can be moved with us eventually, but we also want to paint, put in some closet organization, put in new curtains and fixtures in the bathroom, and get organizers for one or two kitchen cabinets.
My landlord is all about us doing what we want to do to feel comfortable but we'll be paying for most (if not all) of this stuff (which is fine.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Those all seem like reasonable investments in your happiness, and a hell of a lot less pain/expense than moving.
Maybe get the landlord to at least share cost on the bathroom fixtures, as that part seems less moveable.

Our wings are not tired.
Before I owned my house we always did way more than we maybe should have to rental properties. But we wanted stuff a certain way!

Not stupid. Making your environment comfortable and pleasant seems worthwhile to me. If it turns out to be more of an expense than an investment, that is okay. You do not have a fiduciary responsibility to turn a profit on your life.

Oh, I like that.
