oh no bear
One of my worst fears is rearing it’s screwed-up head. She has said the dreaded words. “You seem so irritable lately, are you ok?”. The decline of every relationship I have ever had has started with those words. It usually happens after 3 months of cohabitation. In the past, that has meant 6-9 months into the relationship, this time the 3 month cohabitation mark came at the 6 year, 3 month point. We waited 6 years to move in together, I thought that meant we would skip the part where she says those words. The question is, was I always irritable and she didn’t see it because we didn’t live together? Am I just becoming irritable because we are living together? Am I really just a bitch? She swears I am not directing it toward her, but she can see that I am struggling not to jump down people’s throats all the time. My road rage is really bad now too. I hate feeling like this. I don’t want to F-up this relationship. Not this one, please, not this one.

So it kinda snuck up on me...

play like a girl
While I have considered myself a New Yorker for a few years now (being here on 9-11 really solidified that for me), I have never thought of myself as one of *those* New Yorkers. Until this morning. So there I am, hauling ass through the train station to make it to work on time, when I see it. A sight that 10 years ago would not have caused me to bat an eye, today almost stopped me in my tracks. I had to stop this from actually leaving my mouth "you are kidding me with that outfit right?". Now those of you that know me know that I am no fashion follower (Deb- I hope you have no proof from the old days!) but really, this was terrifying. I have seen it all. Even the homeless have more style than this poor gal did. Describing the outfit would not do it justice, and taking a photo just didn't seem kind. The important thing here is that I noticed it. Even 5 years ago it would have gone right by me. I of all people should not criticize anyone's idea of what to wear. Until I healed from my own negative body issues, I had a rather odd way of 'protecting' myself through strange clothing choices (Deb - stop laughing or I will poke you in the snout Saturday!). But like I said, the important thing to me about this was that i now notice things I *never* would have before. Yikes. I guess I have to go de-snob myself now, I don't like this new bit.

Biopsy results are in! There were a few pre-cancerous cells (what do they do? ask them what they want to be when they grow up?) where the carcinoma had been before, but the margins were clear so no more cutting this time!!!!!! And I was going to ask for a boob-job while they were at it. Sometimes the chest is not to be....
