I still haven't taken pictures of the back yard. I'm still getting rid of junk. I'm filling up the trash can every week. Finally done with the cement crap -- Mom had a phase where she poured cement into molds & ceramic/clay pots, then stuck stuff into them. Why am I watering the surviving plants? One of the goals was to have no watering. I may have a give away (to the neighbors) soon. Meanwhile, the backyard has left me cash poor until the end of the year but I don't have time to babysit selling posts -- can't have my phone going off every few minutes while I'm in the office.
Meanwhile, Mom went to hospital again. She stayed over the weekend, then had to go to nursing home for daily physical therapy. She's in the black hole (of communication) again. I tried facetime, I tried phone calls, she's non-verbal so I don't know if I'm getting through. I'm trying not to stress over what she might be thinking. It's dark when I get off of work so I'm not dropping off cards this time around. She moves out of quarantine this week so I'll be able to schedule an in-person visit. Hell, I'll even use vacation time for this.
