Progress!

Ack. The handyman is doing the estimate for rebuilding the back stairs at my mom's house. There are two drains(?) above the one step, and they would be covered with stairs. So we need to figure out what the heck they are. But they want to do three steps, not four. And the earliest that they could start is April. Shit. They really seem to know what they're doing though.

The house cleaner is here and is working. I told her that I'll be at my mom's house and I'm not sure when I'll be home to start regular cleaning, and she said that was okay and she'll squeeze me in at that time. People are being so nice. She and her son did a good job. They didn't clean in my home office because I was working in there, and it looks like a tornado hit it. I hope that I have time to tidy it up before I leave for Michigan.

Oh crap. I talked to Mom, and she didn't grab the date book in which she had the dates written down, so we talked about them. She's upset that there's a week and a half when no one will be there. I said that I was hoping that she would be in rehab then. Then she said that this was too complicated and she needed to go. I'm really wondering about her mind. Dad thinks that good food and sleep will help her mind, but I don't know.

Note to self: call the vet tomorrow to tell them that I'll drop the cats off on Wednesday of next week.

Exchanged emails with my programming professor saying that I might want to take a leave of absence, but I haven't decided yet. She said that my situation with my mom is a tough one, and there are "no bad decisions". I need to find out when my go/no go date is.

Lay down for a short nap but couldn't sleep. Finished my (late) program. Studied for my math test tomorrow. And now to sleep, quickly.
