October Is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As a breast cancer survivor who discovered her cancer during a self-check, I believe in self-examinations. You know your own body better than anyone else. So don't be afraid to check your own breasts, and report anything unusual to your doctor. Early detection is the key to surviving almost any type of cancer. So I try to post this video every year.

And guys, don't think you're immune. Breast cancer can occur in men, too. It did in my family. Plus, Mike & Molly's 100th episode titled "Mike Check" deals sensitively with the concept when Mike's doctor finds something unusual in his chest.

COVID-19, Day Two

The allergy symptoms have disappeared. In their place are definite COVID symptoms. Headache, neck and shoulder pain, and a sore throat. But it's been three days since DH came home, so the timing is about right.

We'll see how much writing I actually accomplish the rest of this week. Any amount of words will be a victory.

In the meantime, I have Mike & Molly running on the TV. That show makes me happy.
