Monday November 13 I had to take my mom all over the place for appointments. It was an experience that is for sure. First of all I slept over the night before because her first appointment was at 9 a.m. On Sunday Jeff drove me over there and we decided to have dinner with them. We didn’t tell my parents we got a new car which I didn’t think was a big deal. However that was a big deal. All night they asked why I didn’t tell them we got a new car. My mom said you get a new car you say. It’s like we got a new family member or something the way they were acting. I don’t feel I need to share everything with my parents. I only say that because I use to all the time but my parents have been so passive towards me so much this year that I decided to revert and not share everything. I didn’t know I was going to get the third degree from them about a car.
Also on Sunday we all went to a Mexican restaurant. I have to say I didn’t like our waitress. I feel there is a time to be sarcastic and a time to not be sarcastic and she was so sarcastic! It was to the point of being rude. Dad and I both got this huge burrito. I couldn’t finish all of it and my dad gave me the strangest look. Now normally yes I could eat all of that but I can’t anymore since I have lost weight, I just don’t eat as much as I use too. I was thinking he could have taken the rest of mine and eaten it later. It wouldn’t have been a big deal.
Monday we had to get up early at 7 a.m. to make sure we get to the appointment on time since it was about an hour away from my parents home. We had to leave the latest 8:15 a.m. but that also meant getting my mom in the car. Since my mom had surgery on her right foot, in a boot and a scooter would take some time to get in the car. So at 8:13 I am telling her we NEED to go and she is like “We have two minutes.” Then I told her yeah but you have to get in the car. Didn’t leave to almost 8:30.
On the way over there she is like speed, speed to get there. Now if we were on time I wouldn’t haven’t had to haul ass over to her appointment. I only sped a little to get there because I was thinking of if we get pulled over no way we were going to make that appointment. Get this, this appointment was only 20 minutes! Like what?! So after that we went to breakfast then did some shopping. At 1 she had another appointment near the first place so we couldn’t go back home.
The second appointment was longer. It was an eye appointment. It was sort of cool because this place was in a hospital. So they have a little food court area. While my mom was in the doctor’s office I was looking outside. In the waiting area there are these huge windows. Anyone waiting can look outside which is the parking lot. I am just staring out the window watching people park and go into the building. There was this one woman in a white van parking in a handicap spot. She backed up so far that she bend the handicap sign. I was laughing! OMG! Those signs are in concrete as well, it had to do some damage to her van. Then she gets out trying to bend it back. I couldn’t help it, it was so funny!
What’s not funny is this guy who walks in a little after that. There is no one sitting in the waiting area but me. So where does this guy sit? Right next to me. Ugh I hate that. I brought a book to read so I just ignored him. This guy was rude. He takes out his cellphone and makes a call however he puts the other person on speaker phone. I hate when people do that. No one wants to hear your conversation. On top of that when the nurse calls for him he makes her wait so he can keep talking to this person. Rude!
After that appointment I bought my mom a coffee and we split something to eat in the food court area of the hospital. It was actually pretty good. After that we went home.
