and the world keeps spinning round...
So quick updates on things (as quick as I can make them)...
- Birthday. Yesterday. That happened. It happens every year, so no big deal. It was nice and I mostly can't complain. I'm a little disappointed in a few people who basically failed to even acknowledge it (like, a happy birthday would have been cool, that's all I'm asking), but that's life and it happens, and sometimes I forget birthdays too so it's not a huge issue. Important people acknowledged it and I had a nice evening with family and that's all that really matters. :)
- Right now is basically a crappy time to be one of my uncles. My mom has 3.5 brothers, and well, the .5 doesn't count because we disowned him due to him being a complete bigot and asshole. The other 3 are having a shit time of things. I posted here right before Christmas when my aunt died, so that's been rough for that uncle. He has good days and bad days and he's coming out here in the spring to visit us so hopefully that will be a good thing for him. My uncle that lives here is going through a lot right now, because my aunt is battling breast cancer again and it's just getting worse. I posted about here in September, but things are not getting better. She's almost at the end of her radiation treatment but more lumps have appeared and we don't know what's going to happen. I think we're all really worried that the doctor is going to get to the "there's nothing else we can do" phase soon and that's just terrifying, especially for my cousin. Then my other uncle who lives outside of Bakersfield is having surgery soon because he has some nerve thing in his neck. If he doesn't have the surgery, he'll end up paralyzed. But, even with the surgery, there is still a chance he'll end up paralyzed.
- So that's my longwinded way of saying I'm going to Bakersfield in 2 weeks. Just me and mom for a couple days so she can see him before the surgery and be there, and then we'll be back. My uncle (from here) wanted to come but obviously he has WAY too much going on right now to take a trip anywhere.
- Other than that, everything is okay? Could always be worse.
