Home alone?

.

Speaking with my mother, I mentioned something about the commercial for Home Alone.  The neighbor boy who had that look on his face some time back.  Watching the commercial further, she admitted something.  I'm not exactly sure how to take it.  She said I was like that kid, when I was little.  She said, given half the chance, I would have or did those types of things.  She suggested that she kept me fairly well... regulated... for that reason.  I don't remember it, but who does?  I was surprised though.

What do you think?  Is that a good thing or a bad thing?  Is it just the way it is, neither good nor bad?  I'm thinking on it myself.

Ah, in case you can't remember.

I have the chicken drumsticks soaking and need to get that all going.  I think rice and some vegetable or other would go well with it.  Then to town.  I made an appointment in SLC with the heart specialists, and in time for my mother to go with.  She simply can't wrap her mind around what advanced heart failure really means.  Or... she thinks I am fibbing.  She has finally come around to no longer just calling b.s.  She has learned, that when I say something without a grin, I... usually prove out.  But maybe for the wellbeing of her own mind and emotions, if something isn't what she wants to hear, she won't believe.  She will get to talk to these people and learn just how tenuous my situation is.  But like I said, I'm not dying... regardless of what they say... just living slowly.  When I told her that she got a bit of a laugh out of it.  I didn't quite get that, but...  Okay.

After dinner I need to get into town.  I called my the man I am working with on retention.  He wasn't there so I left a message.  I am behind on that, but the tornado has sort of thrown my plans off.  I would like to have visited today, but I just don't have enough to do what I already said I would do.  I still have a trip to town today, but it will be quick and painless, that on top of cooking dinner, and I will need the weekend down.  I just can't do more.  Sore, but that isn't the problem.  When I am on, in my own right, soreness is simply worked through.  It is energy and confusion.  Those will get much worse if I don't just sit for a bit.

Still snowing, but it's a light, slow, gentle, windless thing (for now).  While the town I am going is only 20 miles and change away, it is odd how they can get a foot more and the weather be much worse or the reverse.  So, I will be driving with some care.

Have a good day.
