Green lynx spider, and offspring!

She raised her front legs in a threatening manner when I got close. Brave little spider, defending her babies!

When they do your biopsy, have them test you for Hashimoto's. There's a link between depression and Hashimoto's that could be part of what you have going on (source: Wife has hashimoto's and this is part of our daily life.)

How big are your nodules on ultrasound?

I just got off the phone with the people who are going to do the biopsy. They said that Hashimoto‘s usually shows up in lab work with blood, not in a biopsy. We’re still not ruling out that possibility, though.

Biopsy is on the 28th.

I had a praying mantis do that to my dog once. My dog was trying to get close to it, and we thought there was a snake in the house because the mantis was hissing so loud.

Yeah, I just wasn't sure if they'd actually tested your labs for it or not.

She wasn't there last night.

I hope the rest of her offspring do well.

These are all sort of recent outdoor photos I took. They were a part of some school project, but they're something...so...here they are...
