It was great that Mom stayed home today…even though it was because she wasn’t feeling so good – but it was really kinda dull too. Mom was sick and lay in front of the tv for most of the day, not really watching it, just having it for the noise. She tried to use it to put her to sleep. Mom has been having trouble sleeping the night through this past week and now that she got sick it was even worse for her. She was all sicky and sneezey but couldn’t really sleep.
Sometimes she’d doze off, but that’s it. So Ichigo and I had to behave and try not to disturb her when she managed to nap for a bit. The tv got left on and it was on a boring channel that seemed to have nothing but infomercials, shopping shows, and commercials. The shopping shows were all boring. The infomercials were for boring or stupid stuff. And the commercials – nothing but drugs for this and that sickness, applying for title loans Utah and California (which is not where we live!), new cars, and some jewlery. I was ever so glad when Mom turned the tv off and got up to make another kettle of water for tea!
I wonder if Mom will stay home tomorrow too? Despite the droning and boring tv, it was nice having her here all day.
