Just for the record…

Wow, what a weekend! On Thursday, everything was proceeding normally…and then my mother called me. Seems she had had a bit of an argument with her BF, and so she decided that driving 500 miles to visit me was the thing to do.

Making a very long story a bit shorter, but not by much, I got the house pretty ready for her visit, exhausting myself in the process, but at least my floors were vacuumed! Mom was a good sport, she took the upstairs bedroom, which is saying something when you are 84 years old.

When you are accustomed to doing only A, B, C, and D every day, life goes pretty smoothly. But when you add also doing 1, 2 and 3; you take what was a normal day and make it a bit rough. Each person, by ourselves, can manage the day pretty well. But add in all of the things that the OTHER person does regularly, and it starts getting a bit dicey!

On Saturday, I started with the Swap Meet at the crack o’ dawn. I was up by 6am, and there by 7:45am. I left there at about 11:45am, and got my oil changed, then went to the library, and then made Mom’s hair appointment for 5:00 PM later that day.

I ran back to Tombstone, took a quick shower, got changed, and then we returned to Sierra Vista where we had dinner, got mom’s hair done, and hit Wally World. Sadly, at Wally World, all of their wheelie carts were charging, so mom and I used the regular carts and quickly got the needed items and then got the hell outta there. Trust me, by 6:30 pm, I was wobbling a LOT.

By the time we got home, I had no desire to go out and do ANYTHING. I was in bed by about 8:30 pm, and asleep soon after. That was my exciting New Year’s Eve. Whoo Hoo!

We took it a bit easier the next day, but not by a lot, and then mom started the drive back on Monday morning. I would like to say that i then collapsed, but my local library wasn’t open on Monday, so I drove back down to Sierra Vista to get online.

The things I do for you people! LOL

So that brings us to today, and I am back down in Sierra Vista because the computers at the local library were all being used, and I can stay online until 6:45 pm here.

I think that’s enough for now, maybe next time I will tell you about the 71 year old from the Swap Meet who is trying to get into my pants. Or maybe not. I think it is rather amusing, myself. Oh, and I will also be found at my Raw website from now on. It is at www dot wearelivingintheraw.blogspot dot com, if you are at all interested.

Be back soon!
