Cheezy Conversation of the Day

“Hey look, there’s the dam!”
“Yeah, look at all of those dam rocks.”
“And all of that dam concrete.”
“I guess that makes this the dam road.”
“Look at those big dam power lines.”
“These dam jokes never get old.”

So…

I know I haven’t updated in a while and I was all set to do it tonight. However, when I sat down at my desk, I noticed that I had missed a couple of calls from mom. Normally it’s not a big deal, she’ll call if I haven’t talked to her in a while. However, she called four times tonight, which generally means something is wrong. When I called her back I learned that indeed something was very wrong. My grandma had a mammogram last week and they made her have another one because of a suspicious lump. Well, she had a biopsy and it turns out that it’s cancer. At this stage I don’t know anything more than that, she has a doctor’s appointment Friday when they are going to see if it’s spread or not. Either way she’ll probably have surgery early next week. This is especially bad news because her sister died of cancer, but thankfully not breast cancer. Hopefully they caught it in time and everything will be ok after the surgery. Now is when it sucks to have a job. A few weeks ago I could’ve just driven home on a moment’s notice, but now I have to worry about my job as well. My normal update will have to wait until I feel like writing it again.
