A Long Day

[gonzai]

Oy. CJ is continuing with early wake up calls and non-stop yapping until I get up. 6am today. And as per the usual, I couldn't get to sleep in the first place last night. Took Mom out shopping for rugs, shower curtains & a welcome mat, then took her for Mother's Day dinner at Carabba's. She had her first cosmopolitan, which made her loopy and gave me sticker shock. I had a seafood cannolli (yes really, and it was quite good), a really first rate salad and we shared a fruit/pudding/cake concoction topped by a strawberry almost as big as my fist. Then home to build furniture. I've made a serious mess of my hands, back and shoulders between the shopping and the construction. Finally called it a day and settled in for telly, Bill Maher just finished and now it's on to Ashes To Ashes. Not sure I'll stay awake past it though. Needless to say I passed on the ball game, although the way the wind is blowing I wouldn't want to be sitting in stands today. Wouldn't want to be an outfielder either.
