As long as those termite guys phrase it respectfully, and aren't all, "Hey there, li'l homeowner! How are YOU doin'?" ;)
Your mom is the best. My mom did that for me when we moved into this place, and wow, a set of dishtowels or a nice bottle of wine just doesn't compare to someone who'll get their hands all newsprinty polishing windows, each of which has 8 separate panes of glass! That plaster dust is something, isn't it? You'll be finding it for months.
I worry, though; will there still be things to sand and scrub when I disembark from the Greyhound bus, bleary and thirsty but energetically clutching my work gloves and a flat of primroses?
Your thoughts about Sirius sound a lot like my friend's lament. I finally nagged her into reading OotP (she'd stopped reading HP in a fit of pique because JKR was "...taking too damned long." (poor dear doesn't understand fandom, so she has nothing to keep her rapt between books) mostly because I wanted to hear what she had to say about the Sirius situation, and I was supremely satisfied, if that's not too horrid of me to say, with her level of grief over the supreme unfairness of it all.
