I was like, I talk about Xanax.

Yeah.

So I came home, and then the next day, David went down to San Diego while we were waiting to hear from the doctor because the kids had a soccer tournament, and my sister called and told me that my dad was about to die.

So I flew to New York, and my poor sister had just dropped her last kid off at college.

So she's in a great mood.

So she was dealing with a lot of closure and loss.

So my dad passed away.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

The essay is really, really funny.

So anyway, when I got on the plane to come back to LA to get ready to get all the tests and go through the whole process of having breast cancer, I was like, surely I can write about this.

Surely this is a weekend from hell that there's gotta, it's gotta be.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking that far ahead.

I was just like, this can't be that common.

I mean, not that like I, you know.

Yeah, The Weekend from Hell was sort of what I was thinking.

And meanwhile, my mom was also in hospice.

So both my parents were in hospice at the exact same time.

Jesus Christ.

Just now.
