I had mammogram on Monday and I got a letter from the clinic saying that they had found abnormal image on my right breast-oh God, please let it not be breast cancer. Oddly enough, I had a small rash on my right breast as though from an insect bite. It seemed to take a long time to heal but it's healed now. I'm praying that I don't get bad news but I will deal with whatever comes. There is a history of cancer in my family but it's a variety of different cancers. My mother and grandmother died of stomach cancer and I recently had a first cousin to die of lung cancer. This generation seems to have a much higher rate of cancer than previous generations. May be it's exposure to things in the environment. I had wanted to stop work but not this way.

Hi, I am glad for online banking since it makes it easy for me to keep track of my balance. The banks have made a lot of changes to try to increase their revenue. It just makes me try to be more careful of what I am spending which is something that I should have been doing long ago but it was a hassle trying to call the bank and making transfers over the phone. I ran up a sizable overdraft balance which I have since repaid and now I am working on my credit cards. It's tough because I don't want to have to wait for something.

hi haven't made any entries for awhile. just thinking of how i can retire if ever. my son, brian, says what would i do if i did retire. it's dangerous to sit around with no focus, no activities,no outlook. i can agree because i have known of of people who had heart attacks a few months after retiring.

this is my cousin, Carmella, who died of lung cancer on 7/6/10. May she rest in peace.
