Well, my girls are going to continue "hanging" with me. This is good news, as I am really attached to them.

Being called back for repeat mammogram testing is stressful. Also, if you've gone through phase one, screening, you were only uncomfortable. Phase two is more pinch-y. Ow!

One thing I love about the clinic--they don't send you home wondering after that second test. Everyone was very nice, didn't keep me waiting and sent me home with a very nice "You are fine. Good to go,"

Also, "See you next year." Oh well, I am over 55. Yearly exams are to be expected now, I suppose.

I can't imagine how I'd be feeling right now if I had to wait to hear the verdict. And all for nothing, since I am fine.

Okay, now that we've gotten that part out of the way, can I just remind all my female readers that this test is really important, and putting it off is not a good idea.

One of my readers--I love you so much!!--needs to quit dilly-dallying and get hers scheduled.

Anyone who knows me also knows that I am not a fan of going to the doctor for any reason. I've spent a lot of time in various offices over the last couple of years, regardless. The reason I do it anyway, even though I don't want to, is because I have people I love in my life who I want to continue to see and drive crazy a while longer.

So, ladies--go get your girls pressed. People love you and want to bug you for a long time to come.

Confession time! After going to make sure of my continued good health, I went to McDonald's for lunch. I think that may have been counter-productive.

Oh, wow, the kids have dragged out the WiiFit. I wonder how much I weigh?

(If you really believe I'm going to get up and go find out, you're crazy!)

If you think I'm going to tell you, you're crazier!!)

I'm not going to lie, I had a hard time with WiiFit. I have a bad hip, so I am always off balance. I did better with Just Dance--until I sprained my Achilles tendon while dancing. (So silly. I hurt myself in the dumbest ways, I swear.)

Anyway, the WiiFit has a program that weighs you and gives you your Body Mass Index, or BMI. I think I have to be over seven feet tall in order for my BMI to be acceptable according to height and weight. Maybe eight feet!

Update: Not telling anything except I'm over 20 pounds lighter now than the last time I did this. Unfortunately, I'm still fat.

I'm researching a knee brace. Any good suggestions?

Oh! I forgot to tell you that the clinic told me they'd bill me, since insurance companies are confusing to us all. Hahaha!

Speaking of bills--it's that time again. Funny how that just keeps happening! Boo! I think we need a "National Take a Break From Bills Month". Who's with me? I'd propose November so we can all shop for the holidays. Knowing we have to pay bills in December might keep us from overspending on all the extra crap. (Probably not.)

I'm going to quit thinking and go start editing now.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
