Only Dogs Can Hear

Silence is golden...

but really only in a movie theater.  Blog silence can be downright annoying.  I'm in the process of moving out of our little bungalow here in California.  It's been a difficult task to accomplish on my own.  Nevertheless, it's almost done.  Tomorrow the landlord's daughter does a walk through with me and I'm out.  I leave for DC on Friday morning.  Then I'll have lots of lovely free time to catch up on blogging and other stuff.  Can't wait!

Today someone searched for problems with mri of  "small breasts" and found my blog.  Maybe I should've searched that same thing before having my first MRI?  In any case, the MRI will take longer than is typical for our more buxom sisters.  I'm sorry.  I hope you're not claustrophobic.

Some poor dog lover found my website as the fifth result when they searched for 'mammography in dogs'.  I hope your dog is ok!

I've taken an unintentional six day hiatus from blogging.  I definitely didn't set out to do that.  Here is the quick version of how I spent those blog free days. 

1. The breast biopsy was hideous but had negative results.  They took core samples from 5 lumps through 2 incisions.  It was gross, invasive and many other bad things.  There are now 5 little titanium clips in my boobs.  One for each lump.  Little markers to guide the next medical professional who gets all nosey about my boobs.
2. K and I had a little bit of an Afghanistan weekend.  We went down to San Francisco to hang out with Nicky and Dan.  It was great fun.  Nicky cooked an amazing meal.  Plus she has a bathtub.  I could actually bathe without getting my incisions wet.  And believe me at that point I really needed a bath. 
3. I flew to Washington, DC.  "They" had all the candidates staying in these condos out in Maryland which sort of sucked.  Nowhere near any metro stop or restaurants other than Subway.  Plus the wireless internet connection didn't work.  What the hell right?
4. The interview went well.  The whole security thing was a very strange experience, but I suppose that's the way it goes.  I feel really positive about the whole thing and am really happy I had the chance to do it.  We'll see if anything comes of it.
5. The night after the interview I was exhausted and laying in bed watching tv when the woman sharing the condo with me brought some guy home and made his day really loudly for about an hour.  Seriously.  That's not cool.  If we were in a hotel and only sharing a wall it would be one thing.  But not when we're sharing a condo and bathroom space.  That's creepy.

Have a great weekend!

Today someone found my blog by searching 'humiliation mammogram'.  The excrutiatingly long post about my recent mammogram was the 4th result.  Note to self: write more about boobs.
