Sunday update

This morning, before mom woke up, dad apologized for putting me through this. I shrugged, said 'such is having mom for a mom.' She was pretty cranky initially, and even said something again about how she'd never come here again, but she eventually let it go. Dad and I set her up on a lounge chair in the shade and went to Lowes, and she was perfectly pleasant by the time we returned. Even started talking about coming back in the fall. She may have asked again why my stomach was protruding, but that's on the least-cumbersome end of the mom spectrum these days.

The TV's been off all day; we'll have to find a way to keep it off. Ironic, since the only reason I got it in the first place was to keep her entertained.
