Back from dinner with my mother

Tweet

My mother hasn't been in my apartment in like 4 years. My sister once called it a "$hithole". My mother's excuse has been that she has breathing problems and at one point had a collapsed lung. Funny that she has no problem climbing up to the 3rd floor in my sister's house to my nephew's bedroom every damn day. Anyway she surprised me by ringing the bell. She came up here and brought presents from my sister and my aunt. My sister bizarrely gave me a comforter for my bed. Very random. It is fine though because I do need a new one. I will donate the 2 that I alternate between to the animal shelter. We went to a local restaurant that I had never been to before. It was pricey but the food was good. Trying to make conversation with her was challenging but she managed to behave herself. The worst thing she said was that I shouldn't watch CNN. She let it go after that which was unusual. I'm back at the apartment now. I'm trying to catch up on the news as I didn't get a chance to see much of it so far today or tonight. I'm tired, though, so I'm sure I'll be in bed somewhat early. I thought it was supposed to storm already but the sky is still pretty clear. We shall see. What's everyone else up to tonight?
