Well whaddya know, a positive post from me for a change!  I may be tired and sore, but I am EXTREMELY grateful to my mother, who made the drive up here today (she's just a half hour away, but she doesn't like to drive that far at her age) to help me out around the house.  We did the laundry, four washloads worth, then she fixed lunch, partly from my fridge, partly from stuff she had brought along, then afterwards she did the dishes.  She also cooked some asparagus for me to eat later.  Then she changed out my moldy shower curtain liner and vacuumed the part of the house that I live in day to day.  By then it was time for her to go home, because she won't drive after dark, but maaaaan, what a lot to get done.  I'm still pretty hobbled by my ankle, so needless to say her efforts were MUCH appreciated.  I tried to tell her I owe her one (or ten), and she said, "But that's what mommies are for!"  LOL...

Just puttering here for a while before bed.  I had trouble with foot spasms again last night, got maybe six hours of sleep, and am fervently hoping that tonight will be the charm.
