Mom and the Deluge

I love my mother, of course, but I do not love the 1+ hour drive in the driving rain, and the weather was pretty white-knuckled horrid today. Still, I found a decent spot at the long-term care facility, and had a lovely visit with her before turning back around and braving the elements again. That chicken soup I made yesterday was a godsend upon my return. We've just started watching Saturday Night Live's 50th anniversary show, which has been excellent thus far, and I fear I'll be up until the end (of course they're ending with Paul McCartney as they know nobody can follow him) and pretty unable to function at 100% capacity tomorrow. Fortunately, with the wind having gotten up to howling strength, I get to work from home and perhaps pace myself a bit.
