Today's events: 7:45a mammogram - holding steady, new baseline for me...all is well. 8:15a - called the HR person at the job offer and said I accepted, with a few planned appointments in November, I'm ready to work all day every day. 8:35a: Got a call back from job offer, confirmed. 9:00a? broke the news to one of my bosses, very supportive...a little later told HR, she cried...a little later, told the other boss. He smirked and kind of laughed--which solidified my decision.

Told HR later, as we start to plan how she's going to survive without me. "I guess I had to make the jump. Either I sink or swim...and I'm sinking here."

Even later in the day, went back to modified bootcamp (still waiting for port removal scar to heal), stepped on the scale and I'm -13! We did lots of running and I did it!

Now I just need to survive the anxiety of "the first day".
