Familial

In addition to the monetary issues plaguing me and my immediate family, there has been more going on.

My parents are driving me crazy. I'm not going to elaborate because this is not the time and place for that. My mind is not in the right place for such a post. (There have been previous posts about it, and there are tweets that occur nearly daily.)

My cousin, who is having twins, found out that one of her babies might have sirenomelia, AKA mermaid syndrome. It has a high fatality rate, with only 50% of live births, and of that half, most of the babies last only a few hours to a few days. I do not even know what to say to her, but we are waiting for a positive diagnosis before definitively claiming it as such.

My uncle --the one for whom Jake and I house sat for a year-- has lung cancer. He hasn't divulged too much information, but said that the cancer is on his lung. Yes, on his lung, not in. I don't know what that means.

Either way, I am tired of bad news. Seriously.

I do have an interview tomorrow. I am wishing and hoping and praying, again.

C'mon, 2013: don't make me regret you.
