3 THINGS I SHOULDN'T DO WHEN I'VE HAD A BAD DAY

#1 - Call my mother.  (Ok, it WAS her birthday so I couldn't avoid it.)  She's 79.  She thinks she's 109.  I'm done with telling her she's not.

#2 - Answer the phone when my mother calls BACK to tell me something she forgot. Never good.

#3 - Answer the phone when my mother calls BACK AGAIN to tell me something she forgot.

And, as I told my friend DJ tonight, who texted me in the middle of these 3 things...... it was causing sharp chest pains!

AND, to add to my bad day, and the mother-calling thing, there was a FLY IN THE HOUSE.  Luci goes absolutely nuts when that happens.  Nothing is safe.  And I have an inadequate, not-functioning, flyswatter.  Plus, I didn't know who to hit with the flyswatter tonight.  I had options.

I got the fly OUT of the house, but Luci stared at the backdoor for an hour waiting for it to come back in.  NOW she's sleeping.  Right where I want to sleep.

Tomorrow will be better.  It's not my mother's birthday.
