well, its been a while and things have definitely been interesting the past few weeks....
about 2 weeks ago my mom texts me to tell me my sister (age 45) has breast cancer. 2 lumps, same side, less than 1 cm, and nothing in the lymph nodes. also the first person in our family to have breast cancer....in fact, the only other person in our family to have cancer was our grandfather. he smoked 3 packs a day for 30 years. so that makes it a kicker. and 2 times for an MRI and she couldn't do it. she freaked. that included the 2nd time when they gave her Xanax before hand.
and then the day before vacation, I find out a 17 kid I know has left home, and where he was staying can't keep him over the weekend. his parents are looking for a place, since he won't go home. I end up being the only option (besides a shelter). Friday night through the weekend turned into through Monday morning. Sunday night I told him this was the last night and he cannot stay with me anymore (I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and like my personal space). he has a counseling appointment Monday morning, so I tell him he has to figure out something. he ends up at a friend's house. who knows what will happen with that.
so yeah, its been quite a few weeks. kind of a whirlwind. and what bites the most....kind of want to talk about all of this, but no one to talk to. bummers!
so how is life with you?
