How I Broke My Mother

more floors today

it seems some yahoo broke a ball point pen at some point on the hardwood floors in my house and the ink soaked in

I sanded -- but then eventually found that some of the (less ground in spots) could be removed with a magic eraser

I found myself thinking about Mouse with all of my magic erasers as I scrubbed wall to wall of that room (otherwise there were suspiciously clean spots) -- and smiled a bit as I recalled how nuts I thought it was that she was on her hands and knees with the magic erasers

I'm buying another box tomorrow

While taking a break from scrubbing - the wifi guys were installing and I didn't want to be caught hands on the floor ass in the air scrubbing -- no matter how alluring that might have been to some sorts

my poor mom tripped and fell on my tile floors

and broke her kneecap

(insert internal scream here)

poor mom

she's crushed that she got hurt and can't help me
and worried that this is going to end up being a major injury

and I'm crushed that I broke my mommy
and worried that this is going to be a major injury

we had her lie down on the floor for a bit while she caught her breath and we applied ice -- the one pillow I've taken over under her knee

tomorrow it's the orthopedist for mom
and

I'll get my shit done at some point

poor mom

:(
