Hi Jenny & Folks
I have a list of things put off like pap, mammogram, and more! I am going to call to get at least one appointment made. I also need to deal with IRS and feel equally avoidant about it!

On the positive side I have been putting some energy into making descriptive compositions for each of my wall hangings I plan on putting on a collective Etsy shop with my sister. I have about eight done, and twenty or more to go! She is going to run the shop for me, I love my sister!

Jenny, with me it is fear also that has had me in a holding pattern for about a year. Mammograms hurt the average woman a lot, and I have fibromyalgia which will make it hurt way more. I need to stop being a wuss, I can so relate to your feelings, I felt I should bare a little myself.

And Michael, kudos to you for caring and voicing your care! Don't think you're gonna make much on that bet, hehe.

Thank you for the very open reminder Jenny! I know a bit about the painful guilt feelings you must have been wrestling with, got them myself. I have been putting off a hysterectomy because I badly need to loose weight first, and I have not lost an ouncel Part of my fear is the look on my Doctors face when I finally get in to see him, Sigh, I am a bad girl. But if you can do it, so can I. Ever Onward.

Oy. Your cousin sounds like a very strong woman, no doubt.

Fekkin' IRS. May the force be with you, sister.

I like Michael's idea about rewarding yourself afterward with a pedi, mani or both! Awesome that you've made the decision and set yourself up for some accountability.
Thanks for the reminder too! I've been pretty good about the regular PAPS (mom dying of cancer at age 43 is a great motivator). But now my doctor's gone and moved out of the area so I have to get a NEW doctor. Crap! So...thanks for reminding me. Guess I have to get on this as soon as I return from my vacation. Good luck getting through the ordeal, Jenny, and do something good for yourself!

OK, ouch and ouch. I need to go to the doctor, and now all of you know, so I'll make the appointment. I stopped going out of a heady blend of fear and humiliation, but that's a blog post in itself. The other thing is that I need to move on. I just need to.

I have a cousin whose unfaithful first husband gave her HPV--the potentially cancerous kind--when she was 20. Anytime I've faced a pelvic exam and thought I just didn't wanna, I've thought of my cousin getting that diagnosis. If she can face that at age 20, I can face whatever the doc has to tell me at my ripe old age of [insert whatever age I happen to be at the time].

Good for you, Jenny, for not letting fear rule you! Me, I've gotta take on the IRS at some point. I reeeeaaaally don't wanna. *sigh*

I *finally* put dates on my calendar for a much talked about (by me) telecourse. Now...I have to market the fuck out of it. And that's what scares me.

Get your nails done as a way to reward yourself for going. Problem solved.

I have an abundance of love from family and friends, and abundance of delicious food in my life. On a day to day, I have an abundance of interesting and beautiful things I see around me.

Thank you, Ray Harvey. I had to look up 'discursive' and determined it was a perfect word to describe my emotions & mind-chatter most of the time lol.

A little discursive, but I liked it, Jenny Bones.
