Hmm, she gets better fast.

Though still not up to actually being healthy, my mother is feeling somewhat better. Which means she has worked a good portion of the day. I have been her muscle when the foolish woman decides to ask! That is why I am here. And, I really don't mind. I can do ANYTHING she could need, and I've been pretty Johny-on-the-spot... when she decides to ask. I hate finding out that she moved 50 pounds of anything, I don't even really like her moving groups of 20 pound things. Still, only back on things half-timing it, she wore me right out. She is napping now.

I am hoping to get to dishes before she does. But I really am zapped. I have thought about taking a nap too. But... it takes me a while to even get to what I think about, as you may well know. This is going to be a little rough but I will do what I can. She is rearranging things nicely. And with me around, weight simply isn't a problem. I even have some tools which may allow me to empty the living room on my own. I have the strength, if stamina is mild again. I just need direction. I would have emptied my living room before, to clean the carpet, but I knew I would get lost and... it would end up taking weeks. If she just directs, and allows me to take long breaks, she could do this completely painlessly. Alas, that is not how she works. Even sick she is a steam train with only two speeds. *grins*

I still let her know it is good to see her. And it is. Yes, we have had our problems. We have dealt with those. Some problems will be forever though. She is a pit fighting animal regarding domestic issues. I only fight in pits when, well, I am forced into a pit! The rest of the time I relax for the next pit. No more pits, retired as I am and in more ways than one, our differences are obvious. Still, I know I am around a force of nature and I respect her for her domestic-fu. She made a meal for us today that was quite good, right through cleaning and straightening. I'm a one trick pony. She competes in two or three or even four or five races all at once. Bleh.

I think she will be getting me in to join Sam's Club Monday. It is something I have been meaning to do, so it's all good. The carpets will be cleaned and I will have an idea of how to actually do it, where to put things, how long to let the floors dry, and such. All good. And, yes, if I think I can do it, and it seems reasonable, I will do it myself every six months too. Probably. I really would prefer all wood floors. They are much easier to tend. But I don't really have that kind of money and it isn't that high on the list. Just, if I had my druthers.

Well, just thought I'd check in before checking out. Good day.
