weekends are always hectic for me. i get home from work friday night at almost 11pm, and i am bushed. saturdays now are mom and me days. today was no exception. having gone to bed shortly past 1am, 830 came way too fast. but dutifully, i rose, had breakfast, checked on cats, and got ready to set out on the day. mom had a dr. appt, in harvey, and following that , we headed in here to our fair city to do some shopping and grab a bite to eat.
and just for the record, i am never going to set truck in the mall parking lot on a saturday following a holiday *good friday* ever, ever again. the drivers were crazy asses....i mean really, people, the mall isn't going anywhere, you don't have to drag race to find a spot. and stop blowing your fucking horn at me when i am trying to park my truck...it will not hurry me, but only cause me to pause and reflect on what an ass you really are. fuck off.
mom found a couple of new pairs of shoes for her sore feet to feel a bit more comfy in. i was pleased. i was not, however, pleased with the retarded amount of people who had to bump and shove me to get where they were going. fuck off.
we then came over to our 'quieter' side of the river. the northside, as it is affectionately named. we went to the mall where i work, and there are two chinese restaurants there. i have heard that one is really over priced, so we didn't go there. the other one, which has coffee nearly as good as timmy's, is the one we went to. mom hasn't got a big appetite, and the food there i thought was good. i guess i was wrong, she didnt' like it. ooops. sorry mom.
we then came home and looked online for puppies...she has been talking about getting a new dog. someone to help her give her some purpose. she has been extremely lonely since dad has gone. she thought she might be ready. long story short.....she put a deposit down on a 6 week old male schnauzer puppy. all the way home later, we tossed around names for him. cameron? no i went to school with a boy named cameron, and he was mean. charlie? no, my grand father's name was charlie, doesn't seem to fit. george? how about teddy? we finally thought seth would be a good name. he looks kinda like a seth. it is a short name, one he will hopefully get used to. of course, you could name them anything and they would come to it eventually. a friend of mine had a cat named shithead.
following the puppy appointment, we headed to the dreaded grocery store. another hell on wheels event i must say. this time, however, i had the car. ( switched vehicles when we were getting coffee and checking phone numbers for puppies). still, trying to get a parking spot was great sport. it is true what they say about fredericton drivers...........fuck off.
and then we head home. get everything put away, and get mom settled and then home i come. we had a late supper here, and poor k worked early today, and again tomorrow, so she has laready headed off to bed.
i am heading off shortly as well. i just wanted to put a post up so ya'all didn't think i fell off the face of the planet or at the very least, lost my internet. omigod, that would be so awful.
for those of my faithfuls who celebrate the easter weekend, take care and enjoy it with family and friends. and even if you don't, enjoy whatever you find yourself doing this weekend, and just stay safe and take care.............
love poet.
