...and I don't mean the amusement ride. -_-

First I got up thinking I was going to be able to go to garage sales (the huge mega sale along Michigan Ave) so I got up at a decent hour only to be reminded by my mom that I had a doctor's appointment today. The appointment was for a dermatologist to look at a sort of bump on my ear, so I though no big deal, whatever, and we went. Figured we could stop for lunch along the way, but traffic was awful so we ended up getting there just in time with no time to eat. So I go into the appointment, thinking the doc will just look at my ear, give me a prescription, and send me on my way. Not so much. First the resident looked at it, then she called her supervisor in to take a look, and they both agreed it looked like a rare version of rosacea that can form in the ear. So, whatever, diagnosis, yay. The doc prescribed a gel to put on it. But then, looking at my family history of skin cancer, she decided she wanted to see...ugh...my entire body. So I did that and she didn't find anything abnormal, but she decided to take a biopsy of the ear thing just in case. Numbed my ear, cut a piece off of the bump..thing, and then I finally got to leave. Albeit with a numb ear with two stitches in it. Mom felt bad for me so she took me to Red Robin for lunch (at 3:45 at which time we were both ravenous) which was basically the only good part of my day. Traffic was awful on the way home too, so I didn't get home in time for a phone call for an interview for a possible job. Dad ended up calling me to tell me the lady called and he gave her my cell number (which I had already given her...guess she lost it) and she called me right when I was at the pharmacy window talking to the pharmacist about the meds the doc prescribed for my ear. So two conversations at once when I'm horrible at conversations to begin with. Ugh. But I think the lady's really interested in me (receptionist/vet assistant job - so so so want it so damn bad lol) and I have an interview scheduled for the 15th. She knows me (and my two cats who are patients there) so I think I already have a foot in the door, so to speak. This interview is my first in...well, months I guess. I really need a better job and this one sounds absolutely fantastic for me as I want to go back to school to be a veterinary technician. Anyways, if you're reading this, prayers would be nice. Good thoughts, good energy, whatever. So anyways, after I got off the phone, the pharmacist told me he was out of the meds I needed. He's like 'What do you want me to do?' And I'm thinking 'I don't know...it's your job' but had him call the same pharmacy in the next town over and see if they had it. They did. Which meant that as soon as I got home, I had to toss some frozen pizza and a vitamin water in my lunch bag, pee, and run right back out the door so that I could get to the pharmacy before work and before it closed. So I got the meds and barely got to work in time. Pissed because I just got my xbox back yesterday and I wanted to play for an hour or so to de-stress before work, but that didn't happen. Now all I really have to worry is about is my dad who is having a sciatic nerve problem due to degenerative disc but insists we all go on our vacation to the Mackinac area anyways starting this Monday. It's a vacation I am so wanting to go on, but if Dad is in pain, I'll be in pain, so I'm really, really hoping his doctor calls with something before we go. Oh yeah, and I also have to worry about the results of the biopsy. She didn't think it was cancer due to the fact that it's kind of happening in both ears (one is way worse than the other) but still...you shouldn't tell a person with anxiety problems that cancer is a possibility. That's the last thing I need right now. Oh yes, and now the numbing is wearing off on my ear and it feels really hot and it fucking hurts. Ugh. My life, you guys. headdesk

tl;dr: Didn't get to go garage saling because I had a doctor's appt where I had to get naked and have a biopsy and I'm freaking out it might be cancer. Might be getting a new job that I really want - got the interview anyways. Got to go to Red Robin for lunch, which was the only good part of the day. Traffic around here sucks. Walgreens is dumb. Was almost late for work. Have to eat frozen pizza for dinner. Going to Mackinac on Monday, but when the hell do I pack, and what's Dad going to do with his pain problem. And stress stress anxiety stress. I think that about covers it.

Sounds like a crazy day. I hope the biopsy results come back normal. I'm sure everything is fine. It's better to be safe than sorry. My dad had a really big melanoma removed because he kept waiting to get it looked at. Finally my mom had to drag him to the doctor to have it looked at. Thankfully it hadn't spread anywhere so he just had to get the mole removed.

And good luck with the interview! I'll have my fingers crossed for you

Thanks, on both accounts. :)

Your welcome. Let me how how both turn out.

I'll post an update when I know what's going on and ping you. :)

Sounds good. Hopefully I'll have my internet up and I won't have to use my iPhone.
