Talked to my mom for a minute just now.

My aunt (her older sister) is back in the hospital and her lung cancer came back after the doctors said they'd gotten all of it the first time. They'd removed part of her lungs and said she was in the clear.

But no. It's back and now it's spread to her lymph nodes.

I'm not sure how I feel about it.. I used to be close to her, but haven't been in a really long time. I haven't even seen her since like 2004 much less spoken to her.

I guess what's more depressing is that my parents have finally found someone to buy their truck. They think. The guy who owns the shop may have snagged somebody, and they're having a hell of a time scraping all the silicone off that my dad put on there to put stuff back together.

I've gotten used to my dad (& my mom) being retired, but this is like ... Really for real the end of it all. I grew up in the truck - just like my brother & sister. We were always going with him (separately, of course, but we all went) when we were younger.

I guess I'm glad I got to take that one last trip with him last year. It was just to Tyler, TX from New Boston to get it inspected, but it was in a -Freightliner- that was a POS. Even my dad said it was easily the junkiest truck I'd ever been in. And it was.

Annnnnd Jay's been officially diagnosed with Grave's Disease. That's the cause of his trouble keeping weight on. It's autoimmune, so there's no cure, but it's treatable apparently.

Yay.
