That's quite a package.

This Friday, my children are going to be participating in a read-a-thon at their school to help raise money for the school. My youngest is in Kindergarten so the parents get to read to their child for the participation. Trying to figure out what to read to my 5-year-old. How about the newest book from George R. R. Martin?
I’m reading my five year old The Hobbit at the moment. He seems to be enjoying it (he was looking out his window chanting ‘moon-runes’ to himself the other night ...)

Ugh. This is in its own way the most difficult math class I've ever had. It's very light on the actual math, but lots of work on concepts, and the homework is sooooo long. Most of the mistakes I make are due to brain fatigue since I just can't keep focused for that many hours.
On the bright side I finished it early thanks to skipping chem lecture this afternoon since I needed to be at home to watch my sick kid, so I actually get an evening to chill and watch tv. :)

Sometimes you’re expected to listen and remember things too, it’s awful.

Yup. And we also got some bad news today. My mom-in-law had a meeting with her oncologist today. She's been fighting lung cancer the last year. Today they told her that if she goes back on chemo then she'll have 5 years, without it they give her only 3 more years to live. She has decided not to take the chemo and live her possible 3 years to the fullest.

That sucks. Hopefully, she can have the best 3 years imaginable. Positive waves!!!

According to Cosmo-san, mine shipped on the 23rd, which means it'll get there before I'm back. Have to remember to tell the wife to expect it.

I'm sorry man. I think my mother in law did something similar.

My bigger problem is that I'm supposed to listen and remember certain things she said and forget others.

Someone needs to work on a FaWTLexicon.
The job interview was weird. It was supposed to be two hours long, but it got cut down to one hour, because some people couldn't make it, which means I would have to drive up again for the other group or make them accommodate me. Then, it seemed like they were very interested in hearing me articulate why I preferred Java over C++, because we went back to that three times during the interview. So, I feel like I did relatively well in some areas, but I have no idea how I did in others.
My wife got a full-time job offer at the place she's working in Winston-Salem, so my daughter will be spending the rest of the week here, then starting high school back home. She's happy, and I'm happy for her, but maybe a little (selfishly) sad. It will give me incentive to find a job in NC, I suppose. :)

My thoughts are with you and your mother and family. Here is to an amazing 3 years if not more of life to the fullest.

That's what I get for skimming the past 4-5 pages.
Sorry to hear that, Jeremy. And +1 to Gruumash's sentiments.
