I found a lump... No point in couching it in some other thoughts, at the moment it is THE thought. It's a shock I have to say, but I feel okay about it, my intuition says not to worry and it has always been right in the past. I feel a comforting sureness ... Read more >

I went to work for 2 hours for the first time last Friday and then on Monday I went for 3 hours. I am standing up fairly straight though my stomach is tight. It's my back that can't take the sitting or using my arms at desk height for too long.

I shouldn't have looked at the pics of my last writing, big mistake. We have finally hit the winter button and those pics remind me just how far away from warm we are. Actually until this week the weather has been fairly warm, haven't even had the fire ... Read more >
