  1. Ovarian cancer is tricky. I feel like it’s so important to keep a medical journal if you feel like anything is wrong whenever you need to interact with a doctor. I went to my female GP 10 years ago and told her I had been bleeding/spotting for 7 weeks and had a journal to prove it. She immediately jumped to the ovarian cancer diagnosis and sent me that day to get all sorts of tests. I guess I was lucky that I had such obvious symptoms, unlike the young lady in the story. It turned out not to be cancer, but that was a really scary period waiting on test results.

  2. What’s your favorite laptop stand? I got a different table that’s taller than my previous one, and my current stand isn’t adjustable (is that a thing?) and doesn’t really hit at a good angle.
