age

hey, guess what? today was my 6-month anniversary at this new job. 6 months! time flies.

i went to my new gynecologist today. i like her MUCH better than my north carolina gynecologist. though, honestly, this one could be a fire-breathing, 8-legged toad and i'd still like her better than my north carolina gynecologist.

anyway, she tells me i need to get a baseline mammogram. eh!?! no way! i'm only 38! i guess the new school of thought is to not wait until 40, but to get a baseline between the ages of 35-40, while the breast tissue is still young and healthy.

so i've got an appointment for a boob-squishing a week from today. whee.

and speaking of age, i turn 39 at the end of february, and i'm finding it so incredibly sad that i won't be having my traditional big birthday bash this year. for starters my apartment holds, like, 3 people. so no party here. i might be able to convince someone to throw a party for me, but that seems kind of pathetic.

so i don't know what i'll do for my birthday. i'm thinking the loverboy concert at the coast is not exactly what i want to do, though. i think i want to be around a lot of people. some kind of celebration of the fact that i *do* have friends here.
