The neighbour is vacuuming. The nuns are praying on the stereo cd. Speaking with my mother was super duper nice today. I cant believe all the horrible things I said about her. It is completely different in her old age. She has mellowed out a ton and is now very friendly, open minded and nice. It is still too weird to go visit them and live with them for a few days though. That would probably be aweful. But they may visit us next year in the summer if they can, health allowing. That would be fabulous.
