We went back to her house for a while, picked up her “foster dog,” Rosetta, from the Humane Society, played Skyrim (I watched while she played), and lastly watched a few episodes of “The I.T. Crowd.” Upon my return home, not until about 20:00, my mother “banned” me from using the car because I failed to check in with her. “...you can't just take the car for 20 hours on end and expect me not to worry,” were her exact words. *Don't worry, it'll pass*
The NEXT thing she did was to gift me with Part 2 of my birthday present (Part 1 was a shirt), 5 days in advance since I'll be leaving for Florida on Friday... Anyway, unwrapping said gift, I expected it to be some “mom” gift (socks, TP, etc.) but was pleasantly surprised to find this beautifully sculpted mask, like the ones used for masquerades and the theatre. She said she got it from some woman who had travelled around Italy with an operah “or something.” I was amazed by its beauty and other wordly charm, and thanked her emensely before I ran to my room to write this blog entry...
