lucky

my mom went home on wednesday. i haven't seen her since tuesday. she's doing well but still in a lot of pain. gareth and i will see her today before going to my brother's dinner theater fund raising event. this is chrisi's donated terrarium for the silent auction. i'm excited to see what other items are up for auction. maybe i'll come home with something nice. it'll be nice to see everyone. i know mom is sad she can't go. i'm back to my busy schedule again. i've been doing physical therapy every week now for a month. my back's been much better since i started. i no longer wear my brace and i'm back to doing most everything i used to do. including everything around the house. it was nice to have a break from that for a while. and now i know that gareth knows how to do everything. so maybe he can keep doing some things. i know i'm lucky. he's so good to me.
