Today was a bit harder than the past three days. The need to go out every single day and do stuff all day and to never ever ever be alone for any time longer than it takes to use the bathroom is getting to me, but I'm trying not to be stressy over it. I'm trying not to grump at dear ol' mom, but I'm not 100% succeeding.

Let's see, what'd we do today... Shopping mostly. Drove around and got lost a lot. Went to two different places for lunch (both closed) before ending up at a third place (which turned out to have pretty sucky food, we both agreed). She's feeling a little under the weather and I don't eat meat, so our choices on food are rather restricted these last couple days.

Tomorrow I'm going to take her to a big Japanese market/mini-mall type place, and we're going to try to catch one of the lunch places from today open, and probably Target as well.

Just need to hold it together for three more days and be perky and happy and cheery and all that. (And again: I do love my mother lots, it's more the circumstances that are getting to me.)

Bedtime!

Many commiserating hugs over the "never alone, always on the go" situation. I get the feeling that you and I are quite a bit alike in our need/desire for "down time". Having people to stay, even one's own mother whom one doesn't see often (and I'm a mama's girl to such a degree that I couldn't even buck up and go AWAY to college) can get pretty discombobulating after about 24 hours. I find myself wishing I could "Stupefy!" mine sometimes, just for the mental breathing room. And it's not like they're yammering or haranguing or nagging... it's just... well, you know! :)

One branch of the health food store I used to work at was bought out by some people that turned it and the surrounding shops into an all-Japanese mini-mall out in Cupertino near 280. I wonder if that's the same place you're going today. Have fun, wherever it is!

Exactly. She's nice and considerate and I like spending time with her, but an evening away would do me good. Oh well! I hate counting down the days because I do like seeing her, but "only three days to go!".

I think this place is in Cupertino. Mitsuwa? (Had to check a bag to get the name.) It's either down Lawerence south of 280 or down... um, Steven's Creek or Saratoga south of 280. I guess I better look up the directions before going!

Have fun, wherever it is!

Thanks!

I'm trying not to grump at dear ol' mom, but I'm not 100% succeeding.

This is why I never go visit my mother, or go anywhere with her, or encourage her to visit me, for more than about 3 or 4 days at a stretch. Thankfully, she is becoming more clear on my need to not do stuff all the time as she and I both age, but she's one of those scheduled to the gills types (and thrives on it) and I am so much my father's child in this regard--I am not surprised they are divorced but am surprised they didn't kill each other for this reason alone in the 17 years they were married!

Hee! I'm glad they didn't as well... though being in prison sure would help keep visits short! ;)

First, last, only.

Since I was disappointed to see no-one else had the courage to try this, I decided I would announce the following:

I feel dirty.

Despite being in a very healthy, happy, straight relationship at the moment, I spent the entire evening getting off on F/f. As if this weren't bad enough, I'm now very sore. I also cannot sleep. Thus the reason for my actually doing this. But now that I have risked getting found out and thoroughly humiliated should anyone discover me, I am going back to the tangled sheets of my bed. With any luck this second attempt at sleep will be successful.

Thank you, and good night.

I have a confession. I always did have a thing for the skinny guys...
