Busy, Moving, and Biopsy
I know I haven't posted much lately. I've been so busy with moving! And of course, I am now 3 weeks or so behind on sending out birthday cards.
The move went well; Mike and I both turned in our keys to our old places on Tuesday. We have all the major stuff set up, so it feels like we live here; but there are of course still tons of boxes to unpack. It has been hard to accomplish unpacking during the week, because with my 9-hour (plus 45 min lunch, plus hour in total commute) days, by the time I get all the "necessary" stuff done for the day, it's already time to hop in the shower and get to bed! Ugh.
I had a biopsy of a mole yesterday. I'll find out in 3 weeks whether or not it's cancerous. The doctors looked at it and said it was nothing, but when they asked my I was concerned, I said because the mole didn't used to exist. I watched it grow in and turn from light to dark. Also, I got a REALLY bad sunburn there a few years ago...blisters and all...and the sunburn was all my fault, so so stupid; I probably increased my risk of skin cancer tenfold during that one weekend. Anyhow, because of those reasons, they decided to biopsy it to be sure. That makes me feel better because I'm all about early detection, and I'll feel betting actually knowing that it's not skin cancer rather than the doctor's just saying it doesn't look like skin cancer. Or it could go the other way and actually BE skin cancer, in which case I will be REALLY glad that I had the biopsy!
Okay, I feel better now having actually posted something instead of the lame posts that have been up as of late. Off to work I go...

A mole biopsy is a scary thing. I had one a few years ago and it freaked me out because the doctors informed me that they were looking for melanoma. My dad has had several done and he's had cancer removed, but it's mostly been basal cell which is very common. I hope everything turns out fine, I'm sure it will actually. Don't worry too much. :-)
