I haven't felt like I needed to do a c-blog in a long time, but I felt that today would be the best time to go back. I doubt anyone knows who I am from the few c-blogs I did in the past so I'm going to reintroduce myself.


The name's Chris, I used to be a college student, but not right now. Last year early in the summer, my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I basically dropped everything that I was doing to help my mom while she was getting treatment. The next 6 months were pretty damn scary, but they're over now, she had her surgery and now she's getting done with her radiation treating getting generally a lot better.


Dealing with Scary Times


Obviously, anyone seeing someone in their family get seriously ill is absolutely terrifying. When my mother would be in pain during a week of one of her treatments, my DS and I became very good friends. Most of my time was playing games like FF6 advance or Chrono Trigger DS. I always found that playing games that I've always felt nostalgic for would calm me down quite a bit, because I would always worry about the well being of my mom.


Looking To the Future

Even though my mother is getting better, things don't seem to be getting better for me. I've been looking for work for several months since I quit school. I've had to sell my ps2 and my ds to keep up with bills. I have enough money for myself to last a couple more months but I can't help but worry an insane amount about not finding work. Oh well, I guess things could be worse.
