When my mother was still here earlier, we were talking about cooking. She said it's a shame that we don't have a microwave in our kitchen. I agreed, and said it wouldn't even be worth it to buy one at this point. She said, "Yes, after all, you've only got about 100 days left anyway."
I sat for a very long moment staring at her. And then I suddenly broke out in uncontrollable tears.
Okay, okay, they were fake tears. But very passionate and distraught, I assure you. Confound it! The mother is always right, as usual. Then I plugged in the date to an online countdown, because now I just had to know. She was right. On the day she said those words, I had approximately 107 days left.
That was 8 days ago.
