So, the big news in my house lately is: Mom needs to start radiation treatments. They found a spot that wasn't in her lung before, or wasn't acting up before, I don't know. Either way, they need to zap it out so there'll be no reason to worry about it.
My parents have been stressing that everything is still as fine as it was before, and that the radiation won't be nearly as intense as the chemotherapy was, but. It's still a setback, albeit a very very minor one. It's the first time there's been any bad news about her cancer in over two years, and it's minor, and I'm very glad it's something small versus something huge. But it's still a sad wakeup call to realize Mom's Still Sick, even if it seems like she isn't most of the time.
In happier news, we went out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner tonight (Mom won a giftcard there in a raffle, I think). They made margaritas there the size of my head, man. I had two (and, uh, an iced tea and rum not that long ago *cough*), so I'm feeling kind of half-tipsy.
For the HappyTiems playlist, I want to add Sweet Caroline and maybe Bitches by Mindless Self Indulgence. Anyone else got any good suggestions for HappyTiem songs? :D
