Mammogram and ultrasound today shows I have a bilobed complex cyst of ovoid shape but they want to do a biopsy on it. Which will be next week.
They told me my cancer risk is low but I still cried in my car.

Side note: breast cancer does not run in my family. Also because it’s moveable the doctor is confident it’s a cyst or fibroadenoma.
But she wants to be absolutely certain.

Well this is fun.
Yesterday afternoon I felt a pretty big lump on the northern quadrant of my right breast. My heart SANK. Without hesitation I called up my PCP immediately and they were able to fit me in early this morning.
Now I’m waiting to schedule my mammogram and ultrasound.
Prayers. πŸ™πŸΌ

During my hiatus:
- was converted from contractor to full time permanent several months early AND got a raise
- recovered from a back injury and placed 2nd at NC State Champs during a historic snowstorm
- thought I was back in NJ with b2b weekends of wintry weather extravaganza and 20:1 snow ratios

The House just passed the One Big "Beautiful" Bill. Here's six key takeaways from REPEAT Project's rapid analysis of the bill on what passage means for U.S. energy costs, investment in new electricity supplies, and greenhouse gas emissions. #OBBB πŸ”ŒπŸ’‘

Second time living in Charlotte (5th year overall) and I still get a bit of culture shock whenever I come across anyone wearing cowboy boys with a ten gallon hat πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« aren’t we in a city?

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables.

California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world.

Let that sink in.

Also my aunt blocked me when I called her out on false news about federal help and NC.
Such a great end to the month.

URGENT: my boyfriend’s been looking for any job for 6 months now… but he’s been getting denied left and right, even from normal retail like Target. He has an associates in game dev.
We’re getting very worried financially now. Please if you know anyone in Charlotte let me know.
