Back to reality

It's been such a nice, too-short visit with my mother. She's recovering from her fall last week - she's still bruised and swollen, but not so scared to leave the house. I've taken her for walks yesterday and today, and she has plans to resume some of her outside activities on Monday.

My sister took me to the wharf today and we bought live prawns from a fishing boat. She cooked them for dinner and they were *amazing*. I also cooked another 2 dungeness crabs. We had more snow peas picked from my mother's garden, along with another veggie dish. My tastebuds are happy, but my digestive system is feeling a little overworked!

Tomorrow I fly back home. It'll be back to the stress of regular life. Also the reality of no fresh shellfish!
