Almost A Week

Hello Everyone:

I almost made it through an entire week without mom mentioning Passover in Israel. So close. She brought it up Friday over dinner. Mom brought it up while she was sharing mostly positive news from her doctor.  Mom is worried that poor little yours will be all alone with nothing to eat and nowhere to go. She's even more concerned that the apartment would be Passover appropriate. Not that's an issue for me. That aside, mom thinks I can't be alone and that I want her to stay.  Basically, mom flat out told me that I wanted her company. I told that's not true but I wouldn't mind the Brit BF's company. Mom gave me a look and then asked me what would do. Well, I am a woman and he's a man, you can figure out the rest. Mom's head popped off her neck when I suggested this.  I thought I was finally free of all of the excuse finding but no. Once again, I told mom that she could only use a valid reason to get out of the trip-i.e. health. Using me as a reason is unacceptable. In the meantime, I just go on with my plans. Right now, my plans don't include being babysat by my mom. What they do include is more writing and hopefully a call back from the City of Los Angeles Planninng Department or a first date from a Musuem I applied to. Anyway, let's hope I can get through the week without a mention.
