Moved to the new apartment. Currently at the old place gathering other items that weren’t really fit for the moving truck. Exciting.

Honestly car parts make up a good chunk of it. Old steering wheel, old stereo head unit, oem muffler. Stuff I no longer have boxes for and didn’t feel like buying a new box for just to move it.

And then some other things.

She is doing OK. The day she found out she was understandably pretty hysterical and was feeling hopeless, but has settled down considerably and is trying her best to avoid too much "what if" thinking about treatment. I've been seeing my parents pretty much every day since last November just to try and keep sane during the pandemic, and I will continue to do that as long as they need.

I'm also trying to make sure my dad is OK. He doesn't express his feelings much but this is one of the few times I've seen him be openly upset and tear up a bit. We are extremely close and honestly I consider him one of my best friends so I am making sure he has support too. Next year is their 50th wedding anniversary, but we aren't letting this news stop any planning for that celebration at this point.

Our immediate and extended family pretty much all live within an hour of each other so we are all rallying around her for support. She is definitely not alone in this.

Thanks for the kinds words and thoughts everyone. It's going to be a battle but we will stay as positive as we can.

If she has to go through chemo, keep an eye on her - don't let her try to overdue - chemo can really slow older people down. Case in point, when I was going through chemo (at age 70 some), I tried to keep on doing things as usual ...... until I passed out in the grocery store after one of my treatments -

Sounds like the best environment for any challenge. Godspeed to all of you.

Same. That’s next on the todo list as soon as I can get internet and computer set up at the new place.

Annnnd speaking of internet I forgot my stupid coax cable at the old place so I can’t set up my internet here yet. Will go on yet another trip there this evening I guess.
