I like it that we have been going out a lot more lately. You'd think we wouldn't, since my mom's hip is in such bad shape (and seems to be worsening)... but she's been wanting to go out. We went to Starbucks again yesterday and to that Gencarelli's place as well. (The cheesecake there is so good.) If we go to the grocer, she takes us for a little ride, which makes me happy.
She says she does it to give my back a break. My back's been hurting carrying up all the groceries. Shopping with my aunt got cut short because of that. I guess those predicted back problems are finally coming up -.-;
I feel a lot happier/better lately. I still need to ask my doctor for a higher dose because it doens't go away completely.
You know, I look forward to having stuff to write about when I come home, but once I am home, it just feels like a chore xD but I guess I'll say I got a bunch of shirts (including hoodies). I only found one pair of pants which are super comfy. Hopefully I can find more if/when I do go back there. My mom and I want to make it to the walmart at some point, so I'm going to look at the pants there...
Hm, so after we went shopping for me, she and I went to catch something to eat at the BK in Oakland. The one in Preakness wasn't open. 0: I plopped a BK crown on my head and nommed away at my burger, while she had two baby ones. I also got a milkshake, but there they use these cardboard straws which are so weird to sip from. I know it's to cut down on plastic use, but still...
Afterwards, we went to the walmart actually to get a calender and a mug for my grandma. I got a lemonade when we were done and a normal straw for my milkshake which made a world of difference for taste. And she let me get cookies too 😭
So I had a very fun time.
Yesterday was my uncle's birthday, who I got a card for. We were actually gonna have a party for him but my aunt decided to call it off and moved to April (xD? kinda far away) because she has a procedure coming up and doesn't want to risk getting sick. Don't blame her.
So... today is just an inside the house kind of day. Mom's in a lot of pain...as usual...but it sounds like she wants to try going out again tomorrow. I love it, but I don't like it that it's contributing to her pain. I wish her appointment with the hip doctor would come sooner. It's like he didn't take her seriously, even though his assistants saw the severity of it.
I found that when I look forward to the day, my mental health improves. Obviously, when I'm doing something, it keeps my mind busy so the drifting doesn't begin. The medicine is a big help for that too (enough for me to say it's been life-changing, even life-saving) but it's evident boredom worsens it. Today I want to do some Japanese learning as I've been and then... I don't know. I could do some tidying up but I haven't felt like it.
