39:15. Nice day! I am heading to the pool (hopefully for 1:20 of poolrunning - if I can stand it, otherwise 1:00 of pool running no problem doing it, but because it was almost 2PM before I finished, and I had not eaten yet, I got really hypoglycemic and felt pretty ill -- but once I drank some orange juice and ate a little "lunch" I was much better -- almost passed out though on my way to the sandwich shop) and then into work -- I have a big grant deadline. I missed 1/2 a day of work yesterday because of an unfortunate "incident". I have a non-malignant growth thing on my chin (hemagioma -- or birth mark, except this is not the correct term because technically it is reserved for things found on babies that they will grow out of -- and mine showed up ~5 years ago and is/was unlikely to go away -- basically it is a deep vascular malformation and LOOKS like a birthmark). Anyway, for some unknown reason it got inflammed and yesterday just started bleeding for no reason. TMI, I know. But it was weird it just would not stop no matter what I did. Finally, after an hour-and-a-half (and one ruined work-shirt) I called my dermatologist and they told me to come right in. I think the original idea was to cauterize to get it to stop bleeding, but after I got there they decided to cut it and send it for a biopsy (I am sure it is nothing, but my biopsy from last week came back as squamous cell carcinoma so they are being extra cautious). The main thing was that they cut it out and then sewed it up (so I have stitches in my chin that look like little hairs) ... so, I got to work at 1PM, tired and emotionally drained (maybe short a pint of blood? just kidding, it wasn't that much). I worked until 6 but just did not make the progress I had planned for the day. SOOOOOO, off I go today, me and my little chin hairs ;-). I hope you all have a great day! |
