Thank you for your kind words to my resignation post. All is well here, I just had a bit of a hard week and thought I would face it with a sense of humor. Unfortunately, I seem to have caused many of you to be concerned.
Things have been weird around here for a while and it seems like one thing after another. Dana and I live our lives knowing that these seasons are for our growth. But sometimes…I’m just not in the mood for “growth”. Such was the case last week.
We were already dealing with our own trials and such when a vendor forgot to ship a box which ended up with me being in a bit of a mess. I started to dig myself out when the phone rang and I was notified that I had flunked my mammogram (I had apparently forgotten to study!). I was just dusting up after that kerfluffle when I found out that I got my head smacked in a Ravelry forum and I was smacked by someone in whom I had placed my trust (maybe, based on the facts of the situation, I should now say “misplaced” my trust).
And then I decided that I was ready to resign my position and someone else could endure the testing for a while.
Today, all is welll. We’re still dealing with being smacked on Ravelry but other issues are now resolved. Including the mammogram. I probably should have sold tickets. I have 30 cysts in one breasts and that is apparently considered “impressive” …that was the word folks used over and over again...impressive. Everyone had to come and take a peek. I swear that no less than 40 people came in to see what was going on while I got a sonogram to the Ta Ta. Regardless of the amount of cysts, they aren’t cancerous, won’t become cancerous and nothing needs to be done. Woo Hoo.
If I had any modesty left after having Anna Grace…well…. its all gone now!
So really… I’m okay. I double pinky swear. I was trying to “shake it off” and just have a sense of humor about the silliness that is now our life. I didn’t mean to alarm anyone, I was just trying to make somebody….including myself…laugh at our circumstances.
I get using humor to deal with life. Your post made me laugh, but later I though, hmmmm, wonder if everything is ok. Then I though, nah, it’s just life being a pain in the butt and if it was really bad, she’d let us know.
I get the wanting to resign from the punching bag for awhile. While He won’t test us beyond what we can bear, sometimes I wish I wasn’t so strong! LOL
and I’m sorry to hear abt the smackdown on Ravelry. I don’t remember reading anything bad, but some days I do a quick skim instead of a full read. Regardless, that person obviously doesn’t know what they are talking abt.
It’s a healthy outlet to just say you quit. You try very hard, do your best, and people are more quick to complain than to compliment. Health scares on top of it are the pits.
I never thanked you for my orders–they were fabulous, quick, and perfect!
I can relate to the mammogram issues – my last mammogram turned up a cyst I had to have biopsied – my doctor, while digging into my breast with the instrument, repeatedly remarked on how incredibly tough my breast tissue was. Saying things like, “WOW! I’ve never seen breast tissue this tough!”
Hang in there, regardless! We’re all rooting for you!
Oh man, sorry about the mammo issue. I’m due for mine soon, so much fun.
And I haven’t seen the Ravelry smackdown, but really. Sometimes ravellers can be such children.
Don’t worry, I knew you were making a funny but all funnies are based somewhere in fact, right? Clearly you were having a very bad week and I hope all goes well with your ta tas. I have been sorta following your Ravelry kerfluffle and you got quite a raw deal there too. If you can’t vent to your blog readers, who can you vent to. Don’t add any more stress to yourself.
Glad everything is ok. It sounded like it was more of an “enough already” post than a “disaster has struck” post. Hopefully the resignation was accepted.
So glad to hear the cysts are not cancerous. I hope all gets resolved on Ravelry.
Sending you hugs from France.
Obviously, based on my response, I thought you were making a funny also… by the way I am back in Iowa and the temperature is 4.
30 cysts…that is quite impressive! Isn’t it the truth, between childbirth being somewhat of a spectator sport and then mammograms, there is no dignity left :-).
