My mother's apartment is cleaned out and mostly cleaned up. There's nothing left in there but a roll of toilet paper in the bathroom, some appliance lightbulbs in a cupboard, and a shelf full of cleaning supplies in the storage area.
On Saturday morning Terri will drive me down there to do the final walkthrough and turn in the keys.
bodi_kat really saved my bacon today: in spite of being dreadfully sick, she still came down in the afternoon and helped me haul the last of the stuff back to my place. I will never forget her dedication and her kindness, nor that of Terri, or the other friends who helped me in this difficult time.
It only took me about two hours to clean the apartment from top to bottom, less than I expected. The imprints of my mother's furniture are still in the carpet and there are still some nail holes in the walls, but at this point I'm not going to worry about it. I don't think I can.
It's as if another part of my mother has died.
I'm very tired, and will probably go straight to bed after typing this. I feel strangely numb. I don't think it's really sunk in yet.
