cancelled for lack of interest but had to do it anyway

Still sick as the proverbial canine for non-infectious reasons, but did the grocery drop to M's and the couple of other jobs. This is six weeks since M bit the carpet at a yacht club and needed a hip pinned.

If anyone else out there has an aged parent who did this and can give me an idea of recovery times, let me know. M was particularly difficult with the moaning today. I know it's a frustrating situation but wasn't feeling particularly joyous myself. Also M does not listen to anything I suggest - like going back to the doctor - so saying anything feels futile.

I was annoyed by person at Coles wishing me a happy Mother's Day. Grinch-like it may be, but I resent being sidelined once again as a non-procreator/non traditional gender role person. Now back home and trying to resist the urge to go horizontal, because if I do it now I might have another night like last, where I couldn't sleep until after 4 am.
