I see the future

While the whole house cleaning continues I can see my studio taking shape.  Today SB and I started on the space.  It will also be a spare bedroom.  Right now there is a full size bed, a small desk, 6 drawer lo dresser, a small tv (it really belongs to d2) and a small closet.  With sb's help, I can envision a cork board wall, a pegboard behind the desk and shelving, lot's of shelving.  There may even be a drop down work table over the bed, kind of a reverse murphy bed!  I am very excited about the possibilities.  I haven't really had a studio space for a very long time.  I can see all sorts of awesome things for the future.

Some not so awesome things.  Got a call from my mother and next week my sister and I will go to California to be with her when she talks to a dr about what might or might not be growing on her lungs.  I have a bad feeling that it is small cell carcinoma that has metastasized to her adrenal glands.  That is not good. And then the figuring out what comes next.  What kind of treatment, or if there will be treatment.  What will she want for the future, will one of us  need to stay with her?  What will happen after?  What will happen to the house?  My parents are still leagally married although they haven't lived together for over 20 years.  How will my other sisters and my brother feel?  I am out of contact with most of my family.  Mostly by choice.  I am the middle of 5 and really only talk to my younger sister. I don't really talk to my older sisters or my dad.  Oh, it's going to be interesting. 

In other future notes, youngest graduates with her bachelor's degree next weekend.  We are delighted for her.
