Rusted Sky

Mother came home from the hospital on Sunday. The pneumonia had cleared out well enough by Thursday or so, but she was so weak it was difficult for her to care for herself. Finally she got to a minimal level, and we took her home, with strict instructions to get her rear in gear and not lay in bed all day long.

She followed that advice on Monday - but today (dang, is it Tuesday already?) she was very reluctant to get out of bed. She finally managed - but it's worrisome. She's got to move around more - and she doesn't want to.

Saturday, Father and I went to WalMart to get some stuff for their new apartment... only on Sunday they decided they weren't going to get the place. Damn shame - but they need to stay in the assisted living a bit longer.

Work is... somewhat busy. Same old, same old. On the home front - the guy across the street, Gordon, is the owner of A Approved Windows and Siding, and he gave us a good deal on some new windows - the catch being I've got to help them install the things. Last night was spent removing trim around the windows, tonight was spent installing three windows in the kitchen. They're good windows, too - Simonton Reflections 5500s, which have a much better R-rating than the old double-hungs they're replacing. Truth be told, I'm kind of surprised it's so easy to replace the things... of course, 'easy' is pretty darn relative.

So if I haven't been blogging much the last week or so - there's been a reason. It's called - sitting down and falling asleep at 10:30...
