Good news from the Third Rodeo!

I DO NOT NEED A BIOPSY! WOOOOO!

Sashay, shante!

I had my follow-up mammogram this morning and the new views revealed that the new spots are microcysts and calcifications similar to the ones biopsied in 2019. This is part and parcel of how breast tissue changes as you age.

I am thankful to my own breast for not trying to murder me and exhausted. I regret forgetting the Tylenol 1 hour before because those were some high-pressure images!

My next medical adventure will be my first colonoscopy.

I did not plant seeds this weekend because it was so cold and the garage was frigid. I did write some Postcards to Voters, attempted to organize the cords underneath my desk, ground my own coffee beans, and donated blood.

I’m exhausted. Worrying is exhausting! I also know I wrote I wouldn’t worry about it but you know me. I talk big but I am not brave.

    So, good news then. That’s great! Sorry you’re old enough for a colonoscopy, just remember the prep is the worst part, everything else is easy peasy.

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)
