I finally ordered the ticket for my mother. Neither of us are really happy with it, but the price for ordering tickets on short order skyrocket and flight times are less than the best. Still, we compromised and the thing is done. She is ready to be home and I am ready for a bit of rest. But it has been a really good visit.
It also seems as if my friend's family moved him to his new apartment yesterday. They didn't ask for my help. Perhaps, since they know I have heart issues, they didn't want to ask. Perhaps they are just family oriented. It is difficult to know. Now, I would try to help, but I don't mind having been excluded, to be honest. At least right at this time. I'm not doing well, I am tired all day and every day, I need rest which I can't find with company. My mom wants and deserves company. And I like enjoying the time together. Soon enough. But now, to cook her a few meals. Chicken on the grill, a rice based casserole, and maybe even a breakfast. Now that we are through with the rest of the house, and if she lets me sleep like I need, perhaps I can make a huge effort to give her vacation time until she goes.
I am going in to visit my friend, shortly, though. I doubt if he needs to go out. Speaking of the devil? He just called and said he doesn't want any food. Which is fine. Mom is cooking something, or might have me bring something home, so this trip in will be easy. I best get going. I sure am curious about his new place. I hope it is much better than his last apartment. Oh, his sister is setting him up with meal on wheels, too. Yeah, he should do much better there.
Have a great day.
Starting about 3 months out from a flight, prices tend to increase steadily, and then dramatically as the flight date approaches. I always try to get the flight purchased about that far out.
ReplyDeleteNo choice this time. We didn't know how I would do with the angiography. And I didn't begin checking prices other than out of curiousity until after I had recovered. The price crush seems to be about two weeks out, roughly and give or take. And as we head into Thanksgiving, the low prices are spotty. I watched for her tickets coming out and got optimal pricing, and watched for outgoing prices until I lost track after my angiography. Her insistence on departing a few days before optimal has tripled the flight price. No worries, it happens.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I have pissed her off, worn her out, she is getting homesick, or... But I know the feeling of wanting to get home too. We haven't fought while she is here, much. But I have been, continuingly, under the weather. And I think she has bit her lip quite a bit. Oh, I know. But I think knowing my situation is actually a heart condition and not "mental illness" (Mental illness my butt, she probably always thought, and sometimes said), makes it hard for her to jump me about it. I think she finally understands it wasn't just me being lazy anyway.
She hates that illness. For her, and what she has seen in her life, when people go down, they often end up staying down. She has seen a lot of people die. I suspect she fears that with me. Move or die. I know where I got some of that attitude. :p Sarge Mom. :)
