Visit With My Mother.

I try and at least see my mother once a week. If I can't, its no longer
than a month when I pay her a visit. I call, and she calls me. But she
likes to see me face to face. The other day she called, left 3 messages
on my cell phone. The last message she was upset. When I did call her
she said that she was worried because she hasn't heard from me...in
what... a week. LOL

She lives in The Bronx, CoOp City. Its easy to get there. Q17bus to Main
Street, Flushing, then the QBX-1 to CoOp City, 2 blocks from her
building. She buzzed me in, and when I got there she was on the phone
with her back or credit card company trying to get her intrest rates
lowered. She told them, after they disapproved her, that she was 90
years old. She's 74, the nerve !! But you hear and see on tv, the news
about calling you bank, credit card issuer about lowering their fees.
Thought they would do it to. Who are the people that they approve? A
certain demographics I bet.

We went first to Bartow Plaza Mall, to return 2 l3ather coats. A sale, 3
for 100 dollars. She was actually getting bigger sizes for the 2. One
she couldn't, so she aske dme did I want a leather coat. GOOD OL' MOMS
!!! So now I have a leather coat.

Then we went to the post office to mail a package. I thought it would be
crowded, just another person standing in line. The drug store was next,
I stayed in the car. Oh yeah she drives, spend much of the time cursing
out people, and other drivers though. Next went food shopping at Stop n
Shop. I used to work for the company in New Rochelle, NY. S & S changed
their colors, their style, don't like it. Its seems drab.

After that it was back to her house. I helped put her food away, plus
cleaned out her refrigerator. That means me taking food home, frozen, in
a bag with my leather coat. All good though.

So far, enjoying this day off. On the Q17 bus, almost home. Going to
make a couple of stops first, something to drink, amybe some bread, the
home. Relax, eat and watch movies.
