draining

today was the final visit by us to my mother's house to clear away all the detritus and leftover baggage after the week's big move. My mum was definitely being resolute about it, especially when there was much input by everyone all at once seeking her opinion about last minute choices as to what went where. I made many executive decisions usually around the growing rubbish tip pile. 
I found the whole process to be something to be endured, rather than something to have succeeded in. However, we managed to get home before dark. I guess that's an achievement. I felt really drained.
