May. 19th, 2011 11:31 amIt's raning today, which makes it Catch Up On Indoor Chores Day. Or, it should be. I just can't motivate myself to tackle my list.
Sometime today or tomorrow, I've got to get time in my greenhouse to transplant tomato seedlings. D had started a bunch to share this spring, abd they're just not doing well on her kitchen table. And with all the worry about her mom*, she hasn't had the time/energy/focus to deal with them. I can't fix her mom. I can transplant tomatoes.
* Don't know if I've mentioned it here, D's mom was diagnosed with cancer this winter, when she went in for what was supposed to be gall bladder surgery. It was in her liver, and she was responding well to chemo at first. She's not, now. She's lost a third of her body weight, maybe more, can't bear to eat, and just getting sicker and weaker, despite the third round of drugs. D's spouse and I have both talked to her about getting hospice set up for her mom, to get her to her appointments and see that she gets all her meds on time and in the right amounts. I think we finally convinced her, but that's meant admitting that her mom probably won't get better, and likely won't see the end of the summer.
So, like I said, can't do much about that, but I can pick up some of the trivial things she can't get done, and give her one less thing to worry about.
