my mission, should I choose....oh hell, I don't have a choice
For Mom's birthday, which is a couple weeks into next month, my Sis has an idea. Specifics I'm fuzzy on but on my end I'm to take a number of shots of Mom and scan them and send them to her. What's tricky is Mom can't know about this and the pics in questions are old ones from when she was growing up that're in this particular room of her house...
...and the scanner is also at her place.
So, have to remove pics from frames and scan them and return them and then email them all without Mom knowing about it. Some of that's kind of easy but some not so much. Only saving grace is Mom doesn't go in there much. It's essentially where all her random crap goes and it's well dubbed 'the junk room'.
Already removed the pics, been in my pocket the last 2 hours, and took photos with a digital so I remember where they go. Just need to scan them now, which could be tricky as Mom's sytem had a major overhaul and I don't know if the essential software is still there...
...that and I run a risk level of her wandering by. The computer is in a public room of the house.
Toyed with ways I could distract her or get her to turn away. Sadly, all I could come up with is "Go away! I'm looking at porn!!"
Somehow I don't think that would go over so well.
