I really expected that Mom would do her usual sleep and not want to get up to go shopping today. I haven't managed to take her shopping in a long time. I will arrive and be ready and she will either not wake up or just tell me she is going back to sleep.
Today however, she got up and off we went. We hit the mall and found the items that she wanted. And then I suggested Olive Garden for lunch. Normally it doesn't matter where we go she will find fault with it. It doesn't taste like it used to or they changed something. It is just part of the routine now.
So I was pleasantly surprised when she was happy with absolutely everything at Olive Garden. The salad was good, the breadsticks divine and our entrees just right. We each had a glass of wine. I kept my mouth shut when she said that it was obvious she hadn't had any alcohol in a long time so just a bit hit her. She does at least one happy hour a week at her place of residence. It's all good.
Then I took her home and walked Will around the square. He wanted me to. She wasn't happy about it. She really dislikes him. I don't know what she sees that I don't. I think he is a nice old guy. And so while he took a rest on our "walk", I walked her back to her room and then collected him to finish the square.
She was suppose to take a nap, but my Sagely email said she did activities all afternoon. Me, I got a nap before it was time to play with the littles.
