Starting over again

It’s been a busy work week. Other than work not much has been going on this week. I had a mammogram gram last weekend and they called me on Tuesday to come in next week for further testing. Density and asymmetry were the findings. I’m not worried about it but want to get the testing over with. My aunt has breast cancer so I know my risks are higher and need to stay on top of it. So I have just been trying to work as much as possible.

On a side note and I know there isn’t anything I can do about it and I am just ranting. But there has hardly been any sexy time with either partner. It’s been so frustrating. Well over a month with pip and if I am lucky once a week with mad. I know everyone is busy. So I will just wait but I really don’t like it. My drive is just so much higher. Sigh. Maybe soon.
 
It’s been a minute. I got an A in my class. I took two weeks off, then decided to take another. Since I am paying cash they don’t care how long I take between classes. I start my new class next week.

I have decided to start working some weekends out of state with Mads, so this really makes things harder for time. He pays the person they usually take a good amount of money, so I figured if I went instead he'd save. The person that usually goes doesn’t really like going, so it’s really a win-win. They have a full time job already and hate the travel.

We went out with Pop last week. It was fun. I expressed how much I missed hanging out, but she is super busy with her own stuff. So getting together has been put on the back burner. That’s okay, since my own work is shifting.

I had a really good conversation with Mads today. I explained my needs. I need to have something fun every week. I don’t care what it is, but it needs to be put on the calendar. It can be a group thing, or just us, I don’t care. But it is necessary. It can be as easy as a dinner out or a day off that is sexy. We work a lot and have kids and school. Fun is important. Also, he needs to be involved. I can’t plan everything. I can do most, but some insight is important, or I feel like I am just dragging him along, and that’s not fun.

Friday night will be the first date of this new arrangement on the calendar. I am excited.
 
Well, what do they say? Best laid plans… lol I swear, nothing ever works out in my favor. They do usually end up working out, but almost never how I thought.

Date night was a bust. I ended up working later than we'd planned and it just didn’t work out. So I am not trying again.

School has started again. I am excited for it. It is a mentoring class. I am really looking forward to learning new skills. I have a good background in coaching, so this will just build on that.

I had the follow-up mammogram, and wow, that was a horrible experience. Never having done this before, I really did not know what to expect. I go into the room and the person doing the mammogram explains they do the imaging, and if it comes back clear, I can go home. If not, they will move me to the ultrasound room, and I can have my husband come in for the results, once that is done, if it even comes to that. Okay, fine.

They do the imaging. I wait. She comes back and says nothing but, Okay, let’s go to the next test. Ummm... okay, thanks? So, something was not okay?!?

I go into the ultrasound room and wait for a different person, who explains nothing. Just "move here and turn here." Then she goes over, types a bunch of stuff into the computer, calls someone and explains things I don’t understand. Then she looks at me and says the dr is on the phone for you. Ummm, what? I seriously thought I was going to faint. In my mind, the worst case has happened. He says a bunch of words. I hear probably nothing, and he says, come back in six months, and do you have any questions?

Sheesh. I guess not, because I have no clue what you even just said. Then it was, Okay you can get dressed and go.

So this is where I am at. I got the doctor's report, because screw them, and even trying to ask questions. I am a BI-Raids-3. Probably benign. They found three masses and will follow up in six months. Okay, that is much easier to swallow. Not that waiting six months is easier, but probably benign is.

Now I am just trying to get back to regular life. I haven’t told anyone except my mom and madmaxx. It feels weird not telling anyone, but also not really right telling anyone. I figure in six months if anything changes, I'll tell then.

I've hardly spoken to pip. I feel like either it’s just not exciting anymore or just changing. I don’t know. And I am too tired to even try to work it out. We have an overnight set for a few weeks from now. I am not canceling (because I actually want it to work) but I'm not putting any effort into it either. The hotel is booked and that’s it, not exactly how I would like it to go.

Will update more...
