Escape Route

Hello Everyone:

I finally made my escape this afternoon.  I had to or I was going to completely snap.  Also, it was really stuffy in the apartment.  It was nice to get out for the afternoon just to write.  I had the space and time to let my thoughts stretch out.  Mostly it was just nice to get away from Mum.  She was really starting to get on my nerves with all of her incessant chatter and really stupid questions.  One thing I'm looking forward to this evening is a nice hot meal.  I know it sounds strange to have a hot meal in a stuffy apartment but after a few days of the latest Jewish holiday, I could use something good.  It wasn't like I couldn't warm something in the oven but I really want to enjoy it.  I actually kind of feel bad for mum because she had this whole nice afternoon planned for yesterday and it didn't happen.  Some of it was me being uncooperative and some of it was a guest that failed to materialize.  Poor woman got stuck with a mostly uneaten meal.  I tried to explain to her that she was doing too much work for so few people.  I really don't want her to do too much anymore because she physically can't handle it.  She has a respiratory condition that leaves short of breath all the time.  I keep telling less is more but she doesn't listen and ends up wheezing every time.  Anyway, since we have all this food, no need to cook too much this week.  Yay
