Mum and I went shopping today

[wiseheart]

Well... almost. We made it half-way to the closest grocer's; then Mum found a bench she liked and waited until I made the food run and collected her on my way back. Still, we consider it a success.

We also had the bi-weekly cleaning frenzy in the morning, so I'm thoroughly raided. Nothing creative was done today, due to my brain dead status. I managed to type up a tiny bit of the "Pathways" timeline; at this speed I'll be still doing it when picowrimo restarts in November. Not that anyone would be actually interested in it, but I like to finish what I've begun. Even if it takes decades. Literally, in this case.

On the plus side again: two nice phone chats with H. and my friend Evie. All in all, not a bad day.

Yay for your mum for leaving the house and walking a bit.
That's great!

It is! We've been out of the house and walking a bit in front of the building every day for the last week and a half, but this was the farthest we've got so far. She's a tough cookie, my Mum is.

What an accomplishment for your mum! Finally out of the house again!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Thank you, although this is not the first time she's left the house. We've been regularly going to short walks for more than a week by now. This was just the longest stretch we've walked thus far.

That sounds like a good idea! Do you have other bench points you can use to gently extend the distance?

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

That is the cunning plan, yes. ;0))

She's making a lot of progress!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

As I said: she's a real trooper!

Huge success! Your Mum has healed so well, doubtless because of your wonderful care. Well done, for both of you. Congratulations!

Thanks. I'm doing my best, even though sometimes I think it still isn't enough. But I'm trying.

I keep thinking about my unfinished fic. That's all I do, though. Think. At the moment I'd rather sew. It's funny how hobbies move in seasons.

In my case it's all the chores that make me near-unable to write. It's easier to cut out paper designs and glue them on than to think about plot, characterization and the likes when you're already brain dead.

I think I would count that walk with your Mum a success, too. She is doing really well.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

She has enough willpower for a small army.

That does sound like a nice day!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

We enjoyed our walk very much. Of course, she was quite tired afterwards, but still...

So nice that your Mum is extending her walks. I imagine it does you both good to walk outside together.

Indeed, it was very pleasant. :)
