Not bad.

To town, a bit of grocery shopping.  Mother did other shopping.  She bought scent dispersing devices.  One for me.  In spite of having told her a dozen dozen times that I don't use that type, or even want the toxic trash in my home.  If I want to spiffy up, odor wise, I use a soapstone and bee's wax candle essence disperser.  Whether fruit, floral, or ancient traditional essences, such as myrrh, sandalwood, frankincense, and the like. 

I went easy on her.  But had to refuse the offer.

Still.  We got through the day just fine.  I found an excellent buy, on burger.  I was thinking of seriously stocking up.  Then rethought that.  If mother sees what she considers excess, she burns through it.  Meat, paper plates, hell... Even ice and water.  More so if she has no cost or personal effort involved.  Pretty typical of females though.  If they have to bleed for it, you'll find it hidden, for their own rare use. 

What was it?  Same with cats.  What's mine is mine.   What's your's is mine.  What's ours is mine.  What I can see is mine.  What I can imagine is mine.  You can have what I don't want or need... until I want or need it.  No... I won't be stocking up.  Not yet.

Although, I did buy some burger, and made meat tacos tonight.  Oh, I had missed that.  If I don't eat that quickly, it will be gone in a day.  The woman eats every free meal she can find, and then some.  She'll be dieting, on her own coin, I guarantee.  Down to five meals a day?  ;p

I'll just go back to my regular every other day meals.  If mostly meat again.  That and fatted coffees.  If I could find a coffee replacement (no, decaffeinated coffee is NOT a coffee replacement), one that takes to cream?  And doesn't stain the teeth?  I'd be in that, like flint.  Hot cocoa is caffeinated, but I think it would be too thick for a daily driver.  Stains, too.  Could be non-caffeinated, just not decaffeinated.  I... don't think they have the process down, and it would stain teeth just the same.  Bleh.  Same goes for tea.  There is herbal tea.  And I have a reasonable variety.  But not a good daily driver.  And goes poorly with cream, unless you have the tacky, provincial tastes of some, many, Brits.  That even before the immivasion destroyed their never really fair, if better once, nation.  Meh.

Going to get to 50 tonight.  Or cooler.  Will see.  Already pleasant, possibly chilly actually, out there.  No need to have the front door ajar, any more.  Just the windows and fans, and it's already 75 in here.  It might get chilly by morning.  I'm sleeping until I can rise tomorrow.

Just because mother and I are speaking and working together again, I may have to help her understand that I'm not at her beck and call.  Don't wake me for food, chores, else.  When I am up, if I am interested, able, willing... with a please.  Even then, probably not.  

I was going to give her the window ac.  It's new.  Just used this summer.  But I think they have central air.  Oh.  And while her rent is a stretch, it is all inclusive.  Water, electric, cable?  I am sure they will help her sort groceries, food pantries, food stamps, and such.  Either the facility or the locals.  No one living there is living top hog.  

On to bed?  I'll finish my coffee.  Went without for... three, four, days?  More?  Ran out of cream early.  Then it was to be brought late.  But wasn't available.  Had to wait until I could get out shopping.  Ended having to have the discussion with Mom before THAT could happen.  So... one thing led to, and after, another, kept me without cream for coffee.   So, yes, I'll enjoy.  Then sleep like a dog? babe?  Puppy!  Good night.
