Mom's Visit Day 2

[days_unfolding]

Mom was having problems finding a four-pronged cane. Then I remembered that there was a medical supply store in town. Sure enough, they had what she wanted. Good.

I've been busy today cleaning Mom's bathroom because I didn't get a chance to clean it before she came. She didn't want to take a shower at my aunt's right before she came here because my aunt wants things "just so," and Mom was afraid that she'd mess something up.

Mom got some good sleep and food (apparently she was barely eating at my aunt's house) and has perked up. She's in a better mood today. So am I for that matter. We also had a good nap and some good pizza.

We talked about my travel. Mom thinks that I shouldn't try to go to Italy this year. She does think that I should go to Italy next year instead of going on the cruise. She thinks that I should go for two weeks (including travel time) and divide my trip between Venice and Florence. She thinks that I should fly into and out of Milan. So that's kind of my plan of record. (Mom has been all over Italy and loves it.)

Zara is hanging out on my lap. I was going to sweep the floor and wash my tub, but I'm losing steam. Maybe I could get up early and do it.
