I'm a little scared

I just got back from the doctor.

Monday, I got a TB test and a Smallpox injection (as required by Korea).
Today I had to go back to the doctor to have him read the TB test, and it came back positive.
He said it could be a false positive due to the smallpox strain, but I had to get checked out anyway. So I went over to X-ray, and they did the photos.
When the tech looked at the pictures, she called in the lab doctor, and started whispering.
I had enough, so I asked what it was they were being secretive about. Straight up.
The doctor said, "it could be nothing, but since your TB test came up positive, you might have turburculosis (sp?)." when I asked about the secrecy, he pointed to a spot on the x-ray and said there was a "questionable area" that could be cancer.

So I'm a little scared: I could be clean, I could have TB, or cancer.
I go back on the 22nd for more tests and to talk to the doctors about what's going on.
I just thought you should know why I'm not to excited today.
Your prayers would be appreciated. Your worries, not so much, I've got plenty of my own.

On a completely different note, I found a cool website today at work. it's a radio blogger that lets you listen to almost any song in the world, provided someone has it downloaded on their website. check out www.radioblogclub.com.

A case of the Monday blahs

It's Monday, and last night I got no sleep. I was up all night cleaning and packing up the house.
I'm sleepy.
This weekend was good though.
On Saturday, Vanessa and I went on another shopping trip to Akihabara(toy town). I spent a little bit of money, but not as much as I have before. Since the weather was nice, we got to explore a little more than usual, and found another really cool store (yes toys) that had a lot more stuff than the others. Even some of the prices were cheaper.

Speaking of toys: I found my next big purchase. It's the Autobot "Matrix of Leadership" from the Transformers. Here's a couple of photo's of the product:










if you click the pictures, you'll see it in larger scale.

and here's the link where I found it:

The only real reason I want it so much (besides the coolness factor) is so I can set it on my desk next to my Staff Sergeant desk nameplate, and show everyone I'm a "leader" in the Air Force.
It's like an inside joke to toy and comic collectors.

I'm sleepy.
