DH has a big interview tonight.  ::fingers crossed:: that it's good fit and all that.   If this doesn't work out, he's taking a break from applying for anything unless he thinks it's soemthing amazing.  It's coming up on his busy season at work and we're trying to sell a house and move. 

I almost set the house on fire last night...because that's one way to get a new one, no?  I thought the ashes in our grill were dead and I dumped them in the trashcan which rests against the side of the house. I guess there were still a few embers and they burned a hole through a cardboard box in the can. The whole thing was smoking a close to catching fire.  Whoopsie! 

Trying to beast mode this house on my lunch breaks and after work.  I think we're getting there.  We have a few more odds and ends that need to be packed up and then it's just moving furniture to storage.  Once we get cleared out, we're going to do repairs and painting.  My mom is coming over next week to go over stuff with us and get some measurements so she can put our listing together.  I'm hoping we'll be ready for pics in 2 weeks or so.

    I do not envy the house prep/selling process.

    I'm so blah today.  The rain isn't helping.  I have a million errands to run and house crap to do, but I just want to hide in bed and cry.

    It's not exactly fun, but we have been good about not hoarding over the years.  My goodwill pile is small.  The kiddo's filled 2 or 3 trash bags from cleaning out his room, but that doesn't surprise me.  He's the type of kid that will stuff a wrapper in a drawer rather than throw it away.

    My parents finally sold their house on Monday.  So now it's "come pick out stuff you want and take it!".

    Um, we don't have room for it, but I'd love their dining set.  We'd have to store it, is that crazy?

    I'm excited because I'm finally getting some mental game in my running, I'm enjoying it again and realizing there is not short term goal, just enjoy it, run x miles and the rest will follow.

    Also, saw Godzilla last night with H.  I didn't think it sucked, but then again I'm easy to please.  Plus also....ancient creatures stomping through cities?  WIN!

    For those not on the FB group, my SIL was diagnosed with Stage 1 breast cancer yesterday.  They are letting the kids get through finals/prom/8th grade graduation before telling them. 

    I don't know how my brother and SIL are going to manage being "normal" until they tell the kids Sunday.  I've been on the verge of tears all day.

    Really I should just say sister.  She's been in my life since I was 12. 26 years is a long ass time to still be an in-law.

    Praying for your SIL 6, sounds like they caught it early so hope it responds to treatment well.  I waited to tell me my kids when I needed heart surgery and it was sooo hard, I won't do that again, but I understand them doing it since kids sound younger.

    Thanks pkat.  I understand WHY they are doing it.  I don't understand HOW.  My brother said they should be able to win any poker tournament after this.

    Oh 6, I'm so sorry to hear that.  They did catch it early and modern medicine is so amazing at this point.  All the best wishes from my family to yours.

    6, I'm so sorry to hear about your SIL. I hope and pray that her treatment goes well, and ditto the other ladies on it being caught early. Still so very hard, but so much better that it was detected early. Try to hang in there.

    She has a lot of good things going- early detection, a STRONG support system, and a long history of family BEATING cancer.  It's never hit this close.  I was talking to my mom, the woman who always knows how to handle any situation, and she was speechless too.

    Once things are a little more settled and she gets her treatment plan and all that, she should see if there is a chapter of the Cancer Support Community or something like that in her area.  They provide group counseling for the patients and their families.  They also do a lot of events and such for their patrons to help keep their spirits up.  

    A went to the one in Indy and loved it.  Her funeral was in their facility. The young adult cancer support group is named for her.
