COMING TOGETHER--74

Now it is Sunday night, late. I have had a good Sunday going to church and taking Mom to the Galleria to get her toe nails clipped. She has a deformedd toe, the middle toe so the nail has grown too long, causing her much discomfort. It also can get infected easily. So we go to get her toenails clipped every two weeks.

Everythihg went well. We came back so I could get some sleep before my night job. Mom slept well, then I read to her from a WWII novel which she likes.

Really, there is nothing to say about today worth reading.

Here it is Monday. I delivered laundry, then went to a softball field to get some exercise. When I came back, Mom had her sights set on the Egg and I, our favorite place to eat. This has become an imitation date for her. I wish we didn't go so often, but familiar places are what old people like. We're going to see The Great Gatsby this afternoon, around 7pm. Mom needs to get away from the apartment and so do I.

Being here so much makes her lazy and uninterested in anything. Maybe the movie will be good for her, but taking her there won't be anything I want to do. I just have to pay for the priviledge of her paying the rent. So this is it.

Well, it is late Monday. Mom has forgoteen the movies. I bought a movie of Dial M For Murder, an old intricate murder mystery with Ray Milland. Mom stayed interested in it all the way. She didn't like The Big Sleep with Bogart and Bacall. It's too slow for her, but Dial M seems to have been just right.

We have had a good afternoon and evening. Right now I am playing Michael Buble'. He is the modern Frank Sinatra, so Mom is here with me listening without speaking. Things are going well.
