All good stuff. in A small but passable life.

I had a good talk with Mom this morning. She thinks she’s ready to try it on her own again. Maybe she’ll make it more than three months this time. We’ll see.

I just booked a flight for May the 5th, two days after Mom’s birthday. Odd how that worked out. Another cheap flight at $138. The flight is at 7am, so that kind of sucks. At least Mom won’t have to drive home in the dark like that one evening flight I had. We’ll just have to get up at the butt crack of dawn.

I was thinking that even if I have to turn right around and come back at least it will be a good break. The temperature here by then will be in the triple digits. I stayed until the end of May last year and was kind of glad for a break from the heat.

I know that some day when I return here it may be quite awhile until I’m able to leave. I’ll take the opportunity now to be able to travel back and forth as much as possible.

With everything we’ve got accomplished in the last nearly three months things should be easier for Mom. The only thing I’m really worried about is her driving and her bad habit of trying to do too much and wearing herself down.

But not having me around will probably be somewhat of a stress remover. I do tend to unintentionally piss people off. That’s my bad habit.

Anyway, three more weeks and I’m outta here.

Back to dinners with the fam, reading in silence, walks on my sidewalks with Liam Dog, washing dishes, and lots of yard work. All good stuff.
