I had a mammogram and an ultrasound a week ago last Friday. Everyone’s agreed it’s a fibroadenoma, very common and not something to worry about. So that’s a relief. I think I’m probably still supposed to have a biopsy, but I haven’t decided. I’m still all beat up from the first attempted aspiration, and I’m not happy about repeating that experience with an even larger needle.

I bought a bunch of Yankee scented candles. Burning right now is Country Linen. Unfortunately I’ve been stuffed up in the head for absolutely ever, so I can’t smell it. I think the stuffiness is a side effect of the inhaled steroid that cures my asthma, but it’s so very bothersome that I need a new medication for that. I see my regular doctor on Friday and I’ll ask her. At least the blood pressure medication is working.

Also, despite taking forty-seven pills a day, I’m not dead.

I had a facial today, and my skin feels terrific. I also got my hair cut and colored. I hadn’t had my hair colored since October, and not cut since far before that, because I was growing it out so they could put it up for Jeff and Lisa’s wedding. With the way it looks now, I should have just had it short. It looks better now than it did that day.

Aaaaaaaaaand Jasper just let the candle light his tail on fire for a split second. That was awful. Maybe no more candle for a while. Jesus. He isn’t acting like it hurts but the fur is all singed and there was that terrible burning-hair smell for a second. I’m completely freaked out. That was NOT GOOD.

Damn. Not good. What’s wrong with me? Why am I such a terrible pet owner? I just lit my cat on fire. Fuck. And now I’m crying. He’s not even acting upset at all and I’m inconsolable.

I can’t follow that. This is all you get.
