So far my day has consisted of a visit to the most miserable hospital patient ever. She is the mother of a good friend of my mom's. Sghe had a bad fall and possibly a heart attack. She's usually pretty cantankerous to begin with but today supassed her usual mood by a mile. The woman in the hospital's sister-in-law is also seriously ill with congestive heart failure. If some ~ma can be spared for them and their family, I would be grateful.

IOmuchlessseriousbuthappierN, my mother bought me the most beautiful toille curtains for my living room today. I can't wait to put them up.

Much ~ma for your mom's friends, sj.

Oooh, curtains. Are there going to be pictures?

Oooh, curtains. Are there going to be pictures?

Hopefully. I need to get my stepfather over here with the drill to hang the rod first, and then I can hang them. It probably won't happen until I get back from vacation.

Perkins, I probably won't be able to make it over this afternoon, for various reasons, including dealing with car stuff. I will try tomorrow.

That's fine, Sean. I will be around all day tomorrow, except when I am in the basement doing laundry.

I want curtains for my sliding doors. Everyone seems so enamored of vertical blinds and I hate them. Once I get things tidied up around here, I may actually go out shopping. Curtains can help set the tone until I decide what color/s I want to paint the place, if I paint the place.

That is what mine are for. There has been nothing on them since I moved in, and it has been bothering me.

Best of luck, Sean.

My mom wants me to call her every fucking day (increased from every two or three days), and because I don't (as if I was even fulfilling her less stringent requirement), I have no love or care for my parents. Whatever. I'm so tired of this shit. I'm 23. I'm busy. I call when I feel like talking.

I hate vertical blinds.

P-C, will your mother do email? My step-father is big on email. That's a big help for communication at your convenience. Both Mom and I hate phones so not calling was never an issue.

She claims e-mail will suffice, yeah. Though I anticipate a simple "Hi, I'm doing fine" e-mail every day will just lead to wanting more, more, more, when are you coming home to visit, you should come home every weekend, now that you've graduated you should come live at home, and so on. Of course, I'm already getting that, so. Well, not the every weekend bit, specifically.
