October wth?! I mean, I don't mind the temps, they're my fave. It's just... weird.

Not good-- Mrs. Minge's cancer is back for a third time, this time on her liver, and growing super rapidly, enough that it's been pinching nerves and shit. Not good. She has to pretty much move down to Texas asap to be at the care center, because she can't afford to be flying back and forth every two weeks. Plus, chemo sucks a lot out of you. Not good not good not good.

I think I'm going to round up Pat and Kevin tonight, maybe Steak 'n' Shake or Waffle House and do some brainstorming with them. (Funny how we're the three musketeers.) I probably lost an hour or two or more of sleep last night brainstorming as it is, and I wrote it down over the course of today at work, and currently have a full piece of paper. So it's a good start, but there's a lot of problems.

What kind of facility can we get? I'm thinking that St. Brigid's cafeteria or St. Helen's cafegymatorium, though excellent, could not be reserved rapidly nor freely. So my backup is 1) Kevin's house, because it's close to Carroll and would accomodate hiding parking in case of surprise party, or 2) our house because we have a huge yard and noise in the evening would not be as much of a problem because our neighbors aren't that close. Issues: Kevin's yard is not that big and I live pretty far away from everyone's house. Johnny's maybe? I don't think his parents would be keen on it, but he's got a pretty big house (we could do gaming in the basement) and a midsized back yard. Still the possibility of being a disturbance, though.

I dunno, I'm thinking like game night or dance party or ...something. Is it just a party? Is it a fundraiser? I have no freaking clue. Who's in town, and who would even show up? Besides my classmates. Oh my god. I have no idea, and I'm guessing we have like two weeks, or less, to plan and execute this.

Fucking cancer.

I hadn't checked my email in a few days and was friggin astonished when i saw that I had 3 xanga entries to read (normally I have 0). I was even more shocked, saddened, maddened, and what-have-you when I read that it was about Mrs. Minge's cancer coming back.

YGH! Why won't the damn thing just die and stay dead?! I'm sure she's wondering the same, but gah. Scarry.

I know. It's hard to tell how upset she is though. I'm more worried about the fact that she doesn't seem terribly worried than the fact that its back, but I guess that just goes to show you.
