A lesson learned in time

[lizblackdog]

Phone call from my mother. She's been at sister T's for what, a week?

Apparently, when she stopped at Grimmauld Place to pick up a few things on the way home from hospital, she found the electricity had run out. She didn't have time to do anything about it six days ago, but today she decided to call me and let me know that her fridge and freezer would be melting and rotting and oh, could I drop everything and run down there and take care of it NOW?

Please note that I have had four or five telephone conversations with her in the past six days... also, my sister E went to Grimmauld Place yesterday.

Oh, and I'm not to put the rotting/melting things in the wheelie bin today. I'm supposed to run back there on Tuesday night and do it then so the bin doesn't get smelly.

yeah, but OMG LITTLE OLD SICK LADY.

it's just normal Mum behaviour. Reassuring in a way. She has to be feeling well to be this damn annoying.
