I just noticed something. I have a mole on my belly that hasn't been a
problem, and I need to keep tabs on it so that if it starts changing, I
can go to the doctor and get it evaluated, just in case it turns into
having skin cancer. It's normally a pain to get a good look at it -- have
to nudge a breast aside and then bend my back a bit, or look in a mirror
and lose detail due to the greater distance that the light has to travel
from the mole to my eyes. This morning, I noticed my belly had gotten big
enough that I didn't even have to really push my breast out of the way to
see it -- it's just *there*, all I have to do is look down.
Not that this makes up for needing to rearrange the shelves that the
plates and bowls go on (I won't be able to reach a certain spot in the
cabinet soon, so we have to rearrange things so the bowls aren't in that
spot), but it's a bonus, anyway.
Hey, Sonja, I don't know how disorganized your dwelling is, but if it's
disorganized, have you gotten bitten by an organization bug? I've just
suddenly decided that some things have to be sorted through and then
stored, and I'm itching to move on that. (Unfortunately, the boxes of
mine I want to go through first are behind boxes of Dan's, and a couple of
those are heavy enough that I don't want to try to move them. Not that I
couldn't, but if I did something just wrong and hurt myself, he'd feel
really bad for a lot longer than I want to hear him apologizing.)
