xianeFirst: I was remiss [and horribly so] in not mentioning that I went to the GYN appointment on Thursday. Was I nervous? Oh yes. But you see, as much as I might hate doctors and want to run away in fear of What Could Be, I also have an insatiable Need To Know. [That's *always* my undoing, much like a cat.]
So I managed to drag my ass out of bed on Thursday morning, after a MUCH too late and wonderful night at Cryptkicker, and then post-Cryptie at my beloved Paper Moon. I walked in when my Mom was getting ready for work, if that tells you anything. I knew I had the appointment at 12:45, but dammit! It was too much fun.
I managed to rise, shower, eat half a roll and drink some water before throwing on comfy clothes and rushing off. I made it there in plenty of time; I even managed to get some knitting in while I waited.
...finally. A doctor that I don't think is an asshole! He was really attentive, asking lots of questions and gathering all my medical details. He took the time to put me at ease and tell me a little bit about himself, too. I liked his assistant/nurse, too. She asked me a lot of questions about working at HT and joked about my clothing and piercings in a non-offensive way.
In fact, we were even chatty and jokey while I was up on the table, rrreallly vulnerable. I never felt uncomfortable at all.
And! And and and! Other than the Pap reults, which aren't back yet, I got a clean bill of health! He said that the lump, which I'd noticed had gone away in recent days, was no longer there and was more than likely a result of the cyclical lumpiness that many women get; I'd probably developed it due to age and changes in my metabolism/hormones. He said that if it returns in the same place that I should be alarmed then, but that cancer isn't usually a thing that appears to disappear ever, it just keeps growing. So not to worry, but continue my usual exam routine and call if I noticed any changes. My right side isn't bigger than my left anymore, either, for those keeping track.
I'd been feeling that my breasts were back to normal in the way they felt, so this corroborated my feeling. I don't feel the sense of dread that I had, and I haven't for a little while. Obviously I'm paranoid and keeping an eye on everything, but I feel much better.
Other stuff of note:
Okay. And now I must find the sleep.

Other stuff of note:
- We've ordered the wedding rings. We should have them in 3 - 5 weeks. Yay!
- Hot Topic is having a sale this weekend on clearance stuff - 50% off of the already marked-down price. Obviously I took advantage of this and you should, too.
- I bought the silliest thing ever for the Zombie Night at Cryptkicker. It's fake blood, but it is cleverly called "Goth Blood."

inefficiency thought that I should post a pic of it; I though that I should add a "Y" to it and make it "gothy" blood, for fiendmorte.
Okay. And now I must find the sleep.
