Yep, those weren’t there before.<\/p>\n I even have plants in my bathroom now!<\/p>\n The best part of course was the food. I actually went to supermarkets to buy real food for once. She cooked so much food before she left and put it into little plastic containers, I’m not even half way through yet. My fridge finally has stuff other than Gatorade, water bottles, soda cans, and microwave food.<\/p>\n Interestingly, while my mom was here, my Costco supplies diminished quite quickly.

A roll usually takes me about a month to use up. Lets just say we’ve almost depleted my 40-something pack of Kirkland Signature toilet paper.<\/p>\n Another great thing was she did all my laundry. She did it a lot more frequently then me. I usually do laundry every 3 weeks. She does it every 3 days. My laundry reminder is when I run out of underwear.

As ChemChampion corrected me, this shouldn’t be considered a “visit”, but rather a “stay”, maybe “long stay”. Anyway, I had imagined the worst, where my mom would nag me to wake up, nag me to go to sleep, nag me … <\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n
