Update on the Mum situation

Things are ever so slightly better. She moves around a tad easier with the walking aid - today she even wandered into the kitchen and did the washing-up, although I told her repeatedly not to bother. Either she doesn't trust me to do it to her standard, or she's bored out of her head.

In any case, I'll be taking a few days of sick leave to care for her. In an unexpected bout of humanity, my boss agreed. So, four days of Mum time are coming up, starting tomorrow, and perhaps I'll manage to get a few things done that are overdue during the process.
