Rite of Passage

I had my first mammogram today. It really wasn't bad at all. Last week, my doctor found something vaguely lumpy. She suggested since I was just 6 months away from that age where I would usually have one anyway, it would be good to just go ahead and do it. Fortunately, the lumps are just cysts, which is what she suspected. I even got to see them on the ultrasound. I feel like I've gone through some female rite of passage, and am now officially middle-aged.So to celebrate, I went to the international grocery store, which happens to be on the way home. I bought baby bok choy, Chinese eggplant, red peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and Thai basil and made myself a nice stir-fry for lunch. And I have leftovers for tomorrow!
