Thanks Mrs. Robinson! I might have to check into that one JSA...It's really just December into January I'm worried about! Once we move in the middle of January the pressure is off, just need to make ends meet until then! Had an interview today, but won't know for at least another 2 weeks if I got it or not! :s

Thanks ladies for all our hugs.

Sorry to hear your news, Andee. It's tough no matter where you are but the distance thing does complicate it all. (Hugs)
It really does complicate things.  I just hope he hangs in there until we get to Florida.  If not we'll be getting off the plane in Philly (conveniently flights to Ft. Lauderdale stop in Phila.) and going straight to a funeral.  Because of this we must fly with only a carry-on (thanks Mrs. R for lending yours  :-* ) and be prepared for hot or cold weather plus funeral clothes.  :(

This is one of my husband's good friends. They started their PhDs at around the same time, and she was just a few months away from submitting. We heard the news Sunday night and have been wandering around a bit shell-shocked. She was an only child, and we had her round at ours for dinner just over a month ago. It still doesn't seem completely real.

Oh no PB!! I'm so sorry!

This isn't an IA or anything, but I was reporting about my moms cancer that she had been fighting with since nearly the beginning of the year. She told me yesterday that after surgery and everything the doctor yesterday officially cleared her of cancer! :)

Good news, Amber!

Just heard that my 90 year old Aunt Dottie passed away last night. She was my uncle's second wife and came from West Virginia. Always remember her high heels at nearly every event. She loved Filene's Basement (back in the day) and was always finding wonderful bargains because she was so tiny.
RIP, Dottie.  :-*

Big hugs BD.

Doctor agrees that the issues I've been having in my right breast are not consistent with mastitis or an infection (burning pain, intermittent stabbing paint, swollen, hot, itchy, change in skin tone, etc) so wants me to get an ultrasound/mammogram, lots of blood tests to rule out IBC.

I'm not freaking out as could still be a weird infection or hormonal thing. God knows how long it will all take to resolve.

I'm sure it's nothing though.

Oh, not told anyone yet Facebook friends, just the hubs :)
