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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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?

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

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.

She has enough willpower for a small army.

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.
