Miss Euro Blogger - Bursting the Bubble

  via GIPHY I know I'm late to the game of watching the movie Wonder Woman . I had heard good things about it but I was reluctant because I feared it would end like all female-centered heroine movies end: with a wedding or with a baby - or both. (I'm looking at you Hunger Games). No matter how often a woman saves the day in the end, she is always reduced to the role of the love interest or the mother, as if to say "yeah, we know you can kick ass and have brains but don't forget your place in society: by a man's side and in the nursery". Gag. At about the midway point of the movie, Wonder Woman seemed to go the same direction. Gal Gadot looks - of course - amazing in every shot. A flawless body and perfect hair at all times - just how we would have looked on the battle fields of World War I. I really envied her for her amazing outfit - who wouldn't want bullet proof bracelets. She is trained and raised by a lot of strong women in order to save the world...

The 'hot' avocado in my neck "You have a lump on your right thyroid" the doctor said as he opened the door to leave. "What does that mean?" I lifted my head from the horizontal position trying not to get the goo from the ultrasound all over my t-shirt. "Come back Wednesday and get your test results to discuss them with your PCP. Most of the time lumps are fine." The radiologist took his cigarette-smell covered coat and himself out the door. I had the impression that he was counting the days to retirement in his head as he exited the room. By the looks of it, he didn't have too many left. Wait! What? I have a lump? Just the day earlier my biggest worry was how to generate more followers on Instagram. The doctor told me the news on Monday and I had to pick up the results on Wednesday. This gave me 48 hours to research the 10,000 different things a lump could mean on the internet. Going to work the next day was though but I was thankful...
