Mom's House Day 3: Christmas, Such as It Was

[days_unfolding]

I'm worried about Mom. She feels awful, and she said that if chemo is worse than this, she doesn't know how she'll get through the winter. I'm wondering if I should work from here. I'd need to bring the cats though.

I'm currently doing laundry. I offered to do Mom's laundry too, but she got cranky and said that she would have to tell me what goes with what. Now she's asleep.

Mom was doing dishes, and she asked, "What are YOU going to do?" So I'm doing her laundry, which counts as doing something but gives me time to relax.

Mom got upset and asked me what I would do if she needed a nursing home or if she passed away. Later, she apologized and said that she was worried about how she's going to cope.

We had ravioli and garlic bread for dinner.

I talked to my aunt for a while. She's over her snit of the other day.

I'm making a lot of progress on my planning book but am burning out.

Mom: I hope that you're going to bed soon. Sheesh, I've gotten up earlier than her most days. Patience.
