I had four moles removed yesterday, which was um…not fun, but that’s okay.  After learning that two of the three I’ve had removed so far contained abnormal cells, having the four removed yesterday was a bit nerve wracking knowing that my chances of melanoma had increased quite a  bit since my last appointment three weeks ago.

Have you had your skin exam?  I hope you do.  Someone I know and love, who is my age (32), was just diagnosed with Stage One melanoma and I hate that so much.   PLEASE protect yourself from the sun, okay?   Please set a good example for our kids, okay?

Man, I had no idea I was going to come here and get all preachy with you.  Sorry about that.  (not really.)  One of the moles I had removed was on my boob.  Which makes bra wearing a real treat.  While having it removed, the doctor told me that I needed to wear a sports bra to bed for a month.

Wha?  Huh?  Me? Who?

I’m the type of girl that as soon as the sun goes down I’ve got my pajamas on, my contacts out and my BRA OFF.  I may have tiny little things in that area but I still like my freedom, if you know what I mean.  I walked out of the office thinking that the only sports bra I have was really not very supportive at all.  It’s quite old and stretched out.  (I’m not sure why it’s stetched out.)  The goal of wearing the sports bra to bed is to keep my (little) stuff in place so I don’t stretch the stitches at all while tossing and turning at night.

I didn’t have time to go to Target to buy a new one and I really didn’t want to anyway.  The kids and I already had to stop at Walgreens for steri-strips and whatnot, so stopping somewhere else was totally unappealing.  We walked into Walgreens and I had a faint memory of walking through Walgreens once upon a time and thinking “wow, I can’t believe Walgreens carries bras,  I wonder how many they really sell.” and I probably even thought “who would actually buy a bra from Walgreens?”

At that thought, I said to the kids, “hey, let’s go this way instead” and we strolled toward the dedordant.  Where I found Hanes bras, where I also found a sports bra…in my size.

I came home, washed it and put it on and it’s the best damn sports bra I have ever owned.  Friends, it was FIVE BUCKS.

Almost makes me want to exercise more often.

(Just kidding, it doesn’t make me want to exercise at all.)

So anyway, that’s all that’s happening over here.  Just thought you’d like to know that I had a small portion of my boob removed, which is tricky considering there isn’t much there in the first place and I also thought you’d like to know that Walgreens carries great bras.

The end.
