Spent the day organizing and cleaning. My mom is currently in a nursing center in Richmond. My hope is to have her moved in with us by Monday. In order to do that we have to make room in our house. That means making what has been our office into Mary's bedroom. So the library has been moved into and combined with the magic room. What was the library is now the office. And because Alura is moving into Rowan's room, we are also trying to put a wardrobe in our bedroom so that we can empty the closet in Alura/Rowan's room for their use. Then we have to go to storage this weekend and get Mary's furniture and clothes for her room.
It is a lot like moving into a different house, but with a lot less room. Boxes are everywhere and I can't find things. Sigh. I hate moving but this year it seems to be an on-going drama. I had to pack and ship everything that mom owned from Florida to California. Now shifting things here. I will be very glad when everything is orderly again. I have a lot of other things I would like to do. For example, I have a very strong urge to sew but no time or space to do it yet.
Meanwhile, I try to go to see Mary every day. Being with her is like a great big reward, but the nursing center is very upsetting. I am currently reading her The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood. She has been in the hospital since before the movie came out. Besides, if I didn't bring a book we both liked she would beg me to read her the trashy romances that she likes. Shudder.
As for myself, I am reading the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. Thanks Margaret for getting Lon and I hooked on them!

I just blew through the series this summer. She's my new hero. I'm eagerly awaiting the paperback edition of Narcissus in Chains.

I don't think I've mentioned yet how courageous I think you and the other Rabbits are being for making all these changes. I sometimes use another "c" word too,
but I prefer to use courageous. I wish you all the best with it.
