I'm resetting the counters, now,
and publishing in order to make sure they are secure on the pages.
Mom's been awake since about 1300. She's been on her ass since 1345, interspersed with intervals of being on her feet. It's cold and windy outside despite the blasts of sunshine. She stuck her nose out and said, "No walk, today." I didn't fight her.
She's catching up on her magazine reading. I extended her usual foolscap tabloids to include a couple of the glossies: People, US and the ultimate slick tabloid, Biography. There are a few others with which I hadn't been familiar but figured she'd like them. Curiously, her preference is for the low rent ones with the horrible reputations. She also likes O too, for the eye candy and Woman's World, which is a low rent combination of People, Family Circle and The National Enquirer.
Despite the 3 to 4 hours of chores that immediately follow my mother's initial arising it's been very low key. She mentioned of her own accord that her back feels "much better", indicating that she's also alert enough to remember that it hasn't been feeling good, although she may not remember why or for how long. It isn't important that I determine her level of alertness to that detail.
I'm really relaxing...having an almost completely on-the-computer day, which hasn't happened for well over a year, maybe closer to two. I'm savoring it. It's delicious.
Well, back to the technical side of producing this.
Later.
