too late now to commence

 The first late summer light of the day outside, go downstairs to the bathroom. There is still blood, but it is not so bad as was expected on the basis of the doctor's prognosis. The wound inside the body is probably now healing nicely. This is all very good.

Go into the kitchen and start to clear things up, empty the dishwasher  and then fill up the dishwasher and start it. The dishwasher is still as it was from the time before the hospital, now slightly mouldy. This is all inconcievable, there are people living here, there is a detergent tab to place and a button to press. It is not any more difficult than that.

Go back upstairs, rest, read, let the mornings dizziness take its course.

Today is a day to take it easy.

Later, downstairs again, empty the dishwasher and clear away the things. Speak to the son about the dishes in his room. He agrees that they must be done, but he insists on having the dishwasher all to himself and the dishes that he has used. These dishes have partly been in his room for nearly six months now, they are strangely lumpy and dusty.

This is all to bad, remark to him that it is really too late now to commence the upbringing that had been ignored up until now
