Sometimes I wonder if there is a correct thing to say.
Dad has been stone-faced but I know he's terrified. He's always been one to go over the worst case scenario no matter what the situation. We all talked about what we'd do if it were to come to pass.
Mom's been crying a lot. I know she's scared. Hell, anyone would be. The only people that wouldn't be are liars, people who are into that sort of thing, and dead people.
Sometimes it's hard to think of what to say. I'm honestly terrified of speaking. Anything sets Mom off right now. I know I'm experiencing it too because I have been wanting to cry at a moment's notice.
In a way I'm relieved treatment begins Tuesday because it'll begin and be over with soon. At the same time I'm scared because we know the odds of Mom surviving plus she is playing too much of the "what if...?" game.
We can't do that. We would drive ourselves insane.
Tomorrow we'll be seeing my grandmother for Christmas. Dad hasn't admitted it to Mom but he's praying she won't have a panic attack while there. Grandma is also on a knife's edge with emotions all over the place.
It's funny how events like this bring out both the good and worst in people. Two to three members on Mom's side are trying to help while one won't. The one is consumed by anger and resentment. A person can't live like that, it rots the guts out.
I don't really know where I'm going with this or even what to write.
Just have been having some last minute thoughts.

Hugs for you and you family! My hope for yall is to be able to breathe out, relax and live in the now. I would like to know yall can be in action mode rather than reactive mode. My wish for you all is a big day of good old fashioned family dysfunctionality, where everybody argues over dumb stuff, annoys each other, eats too much and gets too sleepy to do anything but groan and lay on the sofa. Turkey is supposed to have some kind of tranquilizer affect...so ply everybody with turkey, if you can, lol. Hang in there Erin, message me if ya need me.

Shipping is expensive! I made these little toy rabbits weighing in at maybe three pounds at most. It cost me $10 to ship one half way across the country! I guess because of the size they wouldn't let me send it any other way.

I got my own little FaceBook page set up for my Etsy page. it seems everyone's doing that so I am too. ;D
If anyone has FaceBook they can let me know and I'll send them the link. If not I try to keep everything public so anyone can view the pages.

Please think good wishes and hope that I get that job making bridal chair coverings. It's only temporary work but it's a total of $1,000.
Both my Dad and I need some badly needed dental work done and can't afford it. If I get the job then we can cover it.

Thank you.
I called and left a message at the dentist's office to see about getting the ball rolling on the needed dental work.
I'm afraid of the dentist so I definately want to get the appointment as soon as I can in the morning to get it over with.

I go in for the fillings on the 23rd. I'm going to try to get the cleaning done in the beginning of March. That'll give the tissue time to heal and give Dad time to pull the money out of the bank.

Yep, they're both very nice. I'll print them out and keep them with me on the 23rd for the fillings and again when I go in for the cleaning.
