And that is just how it should be. Mum comes first! And it's good that you can get breaks away from responsibilities. I love the "guarding her finials" bit. Although...aren't finials decorative architectural elements? Mental image is priceless but probably off what you really meant. LOL

The only spreadsheet I've made (and, yes, I'm a little embarrassed by the fact but I did immediately make one) is of the quests I'm on:  where, in what mode, item (and a color code for giftability...and whether or not I already have it). I don't take the getting of gifts too seriously. Not that I don't like and appreciate them but I'm not trying for a tit for tat. Although I do skew toward people who I know gift often when I'm low on time or just hitting the TT for people who multiple daily gift so it's not all completely unbiased. And I try to give friends who are way down the experience level extra since I know they need them. I'm sporadic and I like it that way and don't want to start worrying about whether or not they've EVER gifted me--which some have not. I think they don't know that some gifts are free. I didn't for a while and was doing the "yeah, I've got 6 winding keys now and only need 5 so can gift 1" which is how I figured out so fast that it didn't leave my inventory. Probably most people get that right away but not all of us! If there is ever ambiguity of meaning I will have the rarity in my mind. Probably fell on my head too much as a child or something. LOL.

Oh! And I probably won't be TTing for a little while anyway since I've got a diamond horseshoe and santa amulet both with about 47 days one them. I doubt I'll wait that long but I'm on a spooky mission still.

Okay, back to the finials for you! And I hope your mum is feeling better soon and the care home stays just temp. Take care of yourself too.
