1799-1796

Four daze into October--and things get not more simple but more inclined. Been doing the fourth and final week of BIG treatment--have kissed off any dance during this time and punched my way through the RSB activities.

Had several daze of doing BIG on my own--RSB class was canceled on Monday so didn't have boxing on Sunday and Monday. BIG class was canceled on Tuesday--so I did BIG on Sunday and Monday and Wednesday on my own.

Have two more days of BIG training--and then I can deal with the new medical developments. Yes, there are new things that have appeared on the radar--I went in for a wellness checkup with my PCP. He noticed a lump in my right-side throat/neck area--and he sent me to the imaging lab to get an ultrasound. The lump is really noticeable--I don't know why I haven't noticed it.

So I went to the imaging lab and the blood test lab--and I await the results. Not sure what the ultrasound will reveal--or how it will manifest.

Tonight we all are heading out to Benihana's--for a birthday dinner for my daughter. She turns 35 today--we grow old, we grow old!

I was shocked to hear the PCP say that I had a lump--and that it requires investigation. Finishing up the BIG activity led me to think that I could relax some--but I'll have to relax in the midst of continued turmoil.

I discovered what the amber warning light that looks like a wrench is saying--need an oil change and a 10,000 mile service maintenance. I've only put 10,000 miles on that vehicle--less than 1,000 miles per month. Fortunately, the car's info system also displayed a message--that explained what the amber wrench was reporting. Otherwise, the user's manual is hopeless--too many features and not enough brainpower to parse the codes.

Well, it's off to din-din--and an evening of culinary sensations. Off to see the wizard--the wonderful wizard of sushi.
