I have nothing to report other than I'm glad of my mother. Normally we drive each other slightly nuts, though I'd say that we were relatively close. Last night though, when I really needed her, my mother was wonderful. She listened to me say things she's heard times before, gave me a shoulder, and hugged me.
Some times it's hard not to wish I was the child I think she deserves.
Edit: Well I've been productive already today. Finished the vaccuuming before 9am and then
I found this interesting tidbit...
