Fly

So I've been moving stuff into my new apartment. It's a pretty nice place, but it feels weird because that place is gonna have all my stuff. I am genuinely moving out of my mom's place. I don't think it's totally registered yet. Which reminds me, I need to set up cable. Except I don't get my money until mid-August. Guess we'll just have to wait. I did take my antenna and digital converter box, so we get the basic channels. Plus I need to figure out what to do with our entertainment stand. Should we keep the big regular TV which we know fits in there or mooch off my cousin's projector? I don't know. I wish I got my money sooner.

But I'm now convinced it was a good thing that I'm staying here for grad school. My mom has another cancerous mass. This time it's in her left kidney. Thank God they found it this early. It was entirely by accident that they found it too. she's been having some stomach issues ever since her gallbladder removal two years ago, and it's been getting more frequent. So while they were taking an MRI of her stomach, they noticed the thing in her kidney. I just worry now about whether there's anything else they need to be looking for. This would be her second cancer in four years. I am now convinced that that Sugar Ray song "Fly" is gonna happen. There's a line that goes "Twenty-five years old/ My mother, God rest her soul." I was really hoping that after my mom's cervical cancer last time she wouldn't have any other problems like that. Guess not. Damn. Just seems like every two years now she's gonna have some other issue until there's something she can't live without.

Everyone I know's been so good to me.
