Feel your boobies!

My daughter Cheyenne has been making me profile pics for facebook and I noticed she was using a program called Picnik I used the same program to turn a regular pic into my "pink pic" for October. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and whether you're male or female, it's good idea to "feel your boobies" at least once a month.

Some may giggle or think dedicating a month to the awareness of such a disease is silly, but come on, even our football players are sporting pink. (pun intended)

Adrian Peterson and a Cowboys player seen here wearing their pink BCAM gear at last weeks game. We won! Woohoo!

I was able to find a nice "card" that details how you can do a BSE or breast self exam at home. Doing this at least once a month can help find any changes or lumps that may develop. This tool could lead to early detection at any age as a mammogram is usually reserved for women 40 and older unless they've had issues with their breasts previously.

You can click on the photo and it will open in a new window in it's original size and with a white background for easier printing.

Don't be shy, especially not with your self, nobody even needs to know you check unless you find a possible issue, then it's just between you and your MD. It's worth it if it saves your life, isn't it?

It's October!

I loooooove October, there is something so magical about this month. The changing temps, the changes in the trees, the through of little trick or treaters just around the corner. I love it! There are also a few special birthdays this month, today however happens to be my mothers. Happy birthday mom! She's one of the best Libras I know. hehe

In other news, I started a new therapy for my anxiety. Something has to give, something has to work, I am hoping this along with all the other things I am doing and trying are going to make life livable once more. Granted, the stresses I have only lend to the anxiety and they tend to be above average stresses... I'll have to learn to deal with them without panic anyhow and be that much stronger for it. I just hope I can make it through this phase in life without too many more bumps and bruises. I am of course stressed about rent, I am $250 shy because some people don't think paying child support is important. I knew better than to count on them but my county worker assured me that the payments were picking up and I could afford this place.

Thanks for that lady. Blah! Once again I rant. I'm sorry. :( I hope everyone else is having a fantastic October first, especially considering it's a Friday!
