geminigirlI'm wondering why, knowing that post surgery my diet will be severely limited to soup, applesauce, and other assorted non-throat irritating things, I'd choose chicken noodle soup for lunch. But I did. And it was good.
My mother will arrive in about 48 hours. And I'm stressing over this. It was much easier when I knew my mother wasn't coming. My apartment is cleaned (mostly-there are a handful of other things I want to do before she arrives) and de-porned. I bought (gag!) instant coffee. But I'm stressing about it. I feel invaded...I don't want my Mom at my place-mostly I just want to sleep and be left alone while I'm recovering. I'll arrange for the drywall repair to be done while I'm home, and hopefully the filing cabinet, and maybe a new desk. But I'n also not up for long conversations with my mother about dating, or children, or my job or anything like that. I'm hoping she'll just not ask some things...like what my relationship with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aquariumgirl is. These are conversations that are stressful to have with my mother, whom I get along with quite well, but there's a right time and place for things. I expect I'm just not going to be in any state for rational conversation.
Tomorrow I'll do whatever last niggling bits of housework have to get done, I'll pack foraquariumgirl's place, where I'm staying on Wednesday night, and pick up some diet coke and some milk so my Mom has that in the house.
I'll be glad when this is done.
