Mom's home

[serene]

Got to San Diego around 7 on Tuesday; 68 and partly cloudy turned into a lightning storm on our way home, but it never really rained much. Today, it was back to being OMG hot.

Mom's surgery went better than expected. None of the things he thought it might be (which all involved leaving her with open wounds to deal with after surgery) turned out to be the case. It was a big mass of scar tissue, which he removed, and then he stitched her up, so she's home already and doing really well, though she's still sore, of course.

We enjoy each other's company, which is not to minimize how much I miss my home. Tonight, we got a few hours to ourselves, and we spent it just hanging out in the same room. I read and caught up with my boyfriends; she played bridge online.

Being here without the awful sibling is SO SO SO much more peaceful. We get to just go about our days without the massive dramatics and flakiness and outright rudeness, and my mom is so much calmer. It's still not my house, and I miss being in my house, but it's a pleasant visit instead of a nightmare.

And tonight I got to cook for everyone, so that was nice.



How is YOUR week so far?

So glad that it seems like good news for your Mom! :)

I'm deep in Discardia, getting ready for new adventures this / next month and in 2010, and feeling the twinges of another flare-up of RSI, so not so much typing for me!
