Mom has gotten back to calling me again--that's a good sign. And yesterday was an even better day because she wanted to go shopping for new blouses that buttoned down the front. Her motivation behind such a decision was that she 1) didn't have anything but polo shirts that she has to pull over her head and 2) she wanted some nice things to go out in after the surgery because she was not going to be seen in the big button-down shirts I brought over! This was HUGE!
So off to Kohls we went where no matter what day of the week it is, there is always SOME kind of sale going on--and today was a good one: 50% off of everything or Buy 1, Get 1 Free! The "take" of the afternoon was pretty great. Mom got 5 new blouses....she's going to need a drink with a little umbrella in it to really pull off the ensemble--they are all pretty tropical/flowery prints but who the hell cares!....along with 6 pairs of socks and 8 pairs of underpants. She did not get any bras because, as she stated so eloquently, "If Medicare pays for 6 new bras a year the last thing I'm going to do is spend a fortune on new ones now!" GOOD FOR HER!
As we were heading toward the cashier she saw all these cute flip-flops......and while I'm not the biggest flip-flop fan in the world because the thong hurts my toes unless I find "just the right kind of fabric," I now have 3 pairs of flip-flops that I will wear all summer. It made her happy to buy them for me so I simply allowed it.....and they were all 50% off so who can honestly pass up a pair of flip-flops with a suede thong for $7???? Not even me!
