Unlike yesterday, today has been a fun day.

I was up early and made breakfast for mother. Today she wanted tea and cinnamon toast. She was feeling a tad bit cold so the tea helped to warm her. Afterwards she had a sponge bath and changed into flannel pajamas, so she is nice and warm now.

After breakfast my sister and i decided we'd go shopping....it is such a beautiful day out there, we just had to get out. The sun is shining and warm and there is a beautiful breeze...a perfect summer day. So off we went. We called a taxi and the driver couldn't have been nicer...i like when they chat with you, some don't...which is fine but when they are so outgoing and friendly i usually tip more, afterall it makes the drive that much more pleasant.

So we arrived at the store and it was early but still pretty busy. Thankfully it wasn't hot out because the temperature in the store was hovering around warm. We walked around and looked for the things we'd gone for...i needed tylenol 1's....and two new pillows for my bed. Found two nice queen sized ones at a very good price and settled on those. S picked out some new carpets for our bathroom, unfortunately they didn't have towels to match (both my sister and i are totally in to bedding and towels) We got some hooks for over the backs of the bedrooms and bathroom door (will be fun filling those up) and we bought some other things, stuff i can't remember now....some junk food, a gift for her grandson and since we were both dying of thirst a nice cold bottle of water. We never seem to remember to take one with us........then again there never seems to be one in the fridge when we want one because my nephew is always taking them and not putting any in.....grrrrr@him Anyway we got all we wanted (and then some) and decided to head home. It was lovely waiting outside the store for the taxi...lots of people around and it gave my sister and i a chance to talk. We talked about our mother.

My mother has been upset with me for a couple of days..i think sometimes she just searches for reasons to be. Two days ago i slept a little late and she's been upset with me since. I don't like it when she gets mad at me and often times she tries to pick a fight with me, saying some very mean things to me but i don't take the bait. When she first moved in i confess to losing my cool with her twice...and i shouted and behaved badly...but i knew i'd upset her greatly and have really tried never to do it again...i had to bite very hard on my tongue last night to stop myself from fighting back but i'm glad to say i didn't. My mother can be very mean when she wants to be.

Anyway...we got home from shopping and made a bite to eat... mother and i had grilled cheese sandwiches and my sister had some chinese food left over from the other night. After the dishes were done we all decided to nap and i got to try out my new pillow....it is fabulous!

Now i am sitting here at my computer, reading my favourite blogs, writing on mine and just relaxing... i might be back later.

Enjoy your day!
