Having some skin in the game

susandennisI gave serious thought to canceling this dermatology appointment. This thing on my back has been there for years. It started itching a few years ago. I think I kept the appointment in hopes that the doctor would make it quit itching.
The parking at that clinic is expensive and often full and nearby parking is non existent as is handy public transport. So I decided to splurge and Lyft it. So glad I did. I got two very excellent, non-chatty, drivers with very nice cars. The driver home's was a brand new BMW. Fancy.
The dermatologist is so tiny, I think she should charge me half price. She can't weigh more than 90 pounds soaking wet. But she was very nice. She didn't think it was melanoma, but she did think it was something else (I can't remember) and she wanted to test it and then surgically remove it. I grilled that poor little thing. I mean grilled her. If I test and if it comes back as xxx, then what if I decide to do nothing. If it comes back as yyy, then what if I decide to do nothing. Etc. She held up well.
So I agreed to a biopsy. Which was stupid because honestly, I've already decided to do noting. I've had the thing for decades. If it was going to kill me, it would have already.
But, as she said at the end "I'll tell Dr. Lee that you came in like he asked and were a good patient." That works for me.
I tried some kevin's teriyaki chicken for lunch. It was not horrible but not something I need to buy again.
Why does it take four different actions to make my phone go quiet?!!! Just fixed. Found an app called Mute. One tap and it shutsthefuckup.
Next up, I've got some house chores and then I think I'll tackle that test knitting project.

They will only cover the payment if it hurts. So when I am ready for it to come off, I will tell them it hurts, weird!
I hope yours is benign.
