Okay. Two things. (1) Cindy chose hospice --- it rings through clearly and (2) Nurses really are loads of fun.

Re: the ladybugs --- You're mom might be helped by the fact that they are harmless. Maybe it's unseasonably muggy back there? Which means that there's not much to do, I guess. Well, wasn't I a bundle of usefulness on that one.

PS --- If it helps, tell your mom that, until today, it's been so muggy where I am (we're usually not muggy, not like where you are) that I've had pill bugs and snails all over. Including 2 snails in my freshly-cleaned house! Yeesh!
