this was a good day. really it was a good day. i finally got to sleep around 2 this morning and then woke up around 8 something when the phone was ringing off the hook. i stumbled to the coffeepot and coughed and coughed. but once i had a cup of coffee in me i was feeling a lot better.

i got to chat with gilly for a while and catch up on her weekend and my weekend which was great. i got to wake my brain up nice and slow and by 11 i had a plan and was ready to jump in the shower and start the day.

today was taking mom on all her errands day. okay, taking mom out is physically challenging. mom is not a tiny woman. mom does really well getting herself around, actually, she is pretty damn amazing for all she's been through. but there is a lot involved with getting her equipment in and out of the car. but it's more work for her than me, so i don't complain. so we went to walmart, then i had to solve a problem with the bank, then we went to the bakery she used to work at, then we went to the casino so she could cash in her coupon and get her comps for free dinners before they expired (i swear my mom could live in vegas as a retiree) so we had appetizer bar for dinner tonight... we had hot wings (with celery), potato skins, chicken tenders, and fried green tomatoes. the girls liked it. it was eating out but eating in since we got it from the bar to go with the comps.

so i did my daughterly duty today and fulfilled that obligation and i got the things i needed from walmart. i had a list of things i really needed to get. a new toothbrush, razors, new tweezers, baskets, a new filing cabinet. all those things to help me orgazine my life. that is the goal for tomorrow.

organization is the key. tomorrow i will organize papers and i will destroy papers. i have an idea for organization that just might work...

but right now i'm good and tired.
