Okay, I have a stupid question about Russia's attack

Why the slow convoy heading towards Ukraine's large cities? And a bombing here and there? Not that I advocate for this but, why didn't they just use their airforce and bomb the hell out of Ukraine? Did Putin think the world would consider THAT a bridge too far? So he's doing it slowly and not a flat out assault to end all assaults? Is he trying to minimize the damage because he wants his newly acquired country to not be a bombed out landscape?

We are bringing mom home today

We put mom (98) into a board and care home 5 weeks ago. I have been her live-in caregiver since 2011. Just in last 3 years or so has she needed alot of care. Got to the point I had to lift her all the time, so family decided something needed to change. She is cognizant, knew I would probably hurt myself if we continued on that path. I visit every day, and she is miserable! We found a live-in caregiver and are moving her back home tomorrow. Hospice is providing hospital bed. I had to buy a twin bed for the caregiver because she sleeps in same room as patient. I have loved my "freedom" but we don't want her to be unhappy.
Sorry this is so long. It has been a journey I can tell you.
