The Weigh-in That Wasn’t

I didn’t weigh-in yesterday!  I decided to sleep in and get some much needed rest.  I also didn’t really want to weigh-in because I’ve been eating my worries/feelings away! 

Yesterday Liam was off work so we spent the day visiting with Geoff.  We did some shopping and ended up getting a new bookcase as well as a gift for my dad’s 60th Birthday that we will be celebrating this coming Saturday.

Today I ended up getting up early and headed over to Geoff’s again because I forgot my keys there.  After I picked up my keys I headed over to Old Navy to get a hoodie that I had seen a few weeks back, sadly they only had ONE hoodie and it was a XS.  I did end up buying four lace tank tops (grey, pink, purple, and lime green), each were $4.  I also picked up a really cute black boyfriend cardigan for $17.  I’m planning on wearing one of the lace tank tops and the boyfriend cardigan next Saturday. 

I had typed out a “why me” type of post earlier but decided to delete it.  My moods have been swinging like crazy this past week and I was feeling pretty down, lonely, and left out.  Some get togethers happened over the past week that I wasn’t invited to.  I’m not really sure why I wasn’t invited but it did hurt a bit.

Okay well I’m off to eat a salmon packet that I made.  The packet contains …

• salmon fillet
• light old cheddar
• yellow pepper
• broccoli
• chilli powder

YUM-O!!

The Results Are In …

I went into the doctors today to get my ultrasound results.  She told me that I have a nodule (the size of a pea) in my thyroid and that she’s sending me to get a biopsy done on it.  I broke down crying in the doctor’s office because of course my mind went right to the worse possible outcome … CANCER!

I've contacted my two cousins who have had thyroid issues and have asked them to fully fill me in on what is/was wrong with their thyroids.  My doctor thinks it would be wise for me and the doctor who will be doing the biopsy to know.  I also called my mom and she told me to stay positive and that the biopsy does not hurt, she also told me exactly what was wrong with her thyroids and why she had them removed.

I'm hoping that my doctor calls soon with the biopsy appointment because I want to get this done and over with as soon as possible.

Thank you for all your well wishes and for crossing your finger and toes :)

Not Sure What To Think

I got a phone call back from my doctor’s office about my ultrasound results.  My doctor does not call if the results come back okay.  They asked me to come in Thursday, I asked if I could go in next Friday because I have the day off, the receptionist said that my doctor needs to see me right away, so I’m going in Thursday.  I have a lot of family members with a history of thyroid issues, so I’m worried.  My mother has had both of her thyroids removed due to thyroid goiters (at different times), my cousin who is a year older than me had his thyroids removed because they were cancerous, and I have another cousin whose thyroids don’t work and she’s on medication.

I’ve been feeling sick to my stomach all day.  Please keep your fingers crossed that my ultrasound results don’t show anything horrible.

Take Care,

I <3 Jamie … Oliver that is!

In other news, some interesting, yet irritating things went down at work today.  I work in a Senior Toddler Room with two other women whom I really enjoy working with.  Today we were told that the one girl is being moved into the other house into the Infant Room and that we will be getting one of the teachers from the Preschool Room.  The swapping will happen this Monday. We all knew there would be changes but we were told it wouldn’t happen until September.  I guess something bad went down on Friday night in the other house which has brought this on, and fast.  Monday shall be interesting!

Okay well I’m off to watch some Intervention, they are doing a special on huffing (inhaling contents of aerosol cans).

Look What I Found …

For 2 Two-Bite Brookies you’re looking at 4 POINTS.  Personally I don’t think they are worth 4 POINTS, I would of rather had something else for 4 POINTS.  For those of you that have no idea what Two-Bite Brookies are … they are crisp chocolate chip cookie + fudgy brownie in one.
