I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I was 87 messages behind. It’s been a long time since that happened.

Skimmed and wish easier times for many.

I’m dragging like a dragging thing. Too much chaos out of my control, not a good fit for a control freak fixer.

Trying to focus on drinking water, getting sleep, and non-self destructive behavior (over eating and over spending).

She declared that it was "gorgeous" and they want a picture of it in our living room for their website.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Took some boobie nudies this morning.

Technically it was a mammogram.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

So sorry to hear about The Stupid Things making what's challengning irritating as well, Epic. Hang in there.

I just got a quote for reupholstering one of the couches and it is stupid expensive. Guess we’re lining with these for a while longer.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I am well overdue for a mammogram. I keep meaning to make an appointment with my GYN, but I've been putting it off.(As well as finding a new PCP)

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

...make an appointment...finding a new PCP.

Do it.

Putting that off is where I went wrong, and is why my cancer wasn't discovered until it was already stage IV.

I’m trying to learn my lesson in that. I had a clean mammogram recently (yay!) though it did require a follow up ultrasound and I stalled and dithered and really shouldn’t have.

Good reminder dcp.

The one I’ve been putting off is an eye exam. I paid for the vision insurance this year so I need to go get one and use the benefit!!

I got a referral from Planned Parenthood about a month ago but you leave a message and they, in theory, call you back. They did not call me back and I was not calling them back and leaving more messages.

Instead I asked my NP for the referral instead when we did a follow-up on bloodwork and an x-ray yesterday morning. The scheduler called me yesterday afternoon and the mammogram was done by 10:30 this morning about 24 hours after I asked for the referral.

Make the calls. I am the master at procrastination and I did it! But if they have a system where the scheduler calls you, even better.

Just make the calls. Early cancer screenings work best when we get them done early.

With all of that, I need to make a dermatology appt for a specific look at a few spots and a general 'pale body in the desert' check out. That should be the end of the (should be) annual things.

Next we keep working on the broken stuff. Good times.
