I should have known when I got to the store and they did not have any chopped chicken liver, that nothing else was going to go right today. OK - so being out of chopped chicken liver is usually no big deal, but not when Mom has asked me to get some for her. Well I bought stuffed cabbage (already cooked) for lunch, and while she was disappointed about no cc liver it was OK. Then as I pull up to Mom's block, there is road work, no parking and only one lane. Good thing Mom has a driveway. We had a very nice lunch, and on the agenda was bringing the vacuum for repair and taking Mom to the special orthopedic shoe store on Tremont Ave. I called the shoe store and the machine said "open 10 am to 6pm Monday thru Saturday."
OK - so let's do vacuum first and maybe shoeman was only out to lunch.
Let me tell you - self propelled vacuums weigh a lot!!! Down the stairs with it, one step at a time - into the car, and off to repair shop - WHICH WAS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS.
Off to shoe man - GUESS WHAT - CLOSED!!!!!!! From there I drove to my Aunt's house (near Buhre Ave.) and stopped in for a visit. It can be very funny listening to a 90 year old and a 92 year old trying to figure out why they are so tired, and can't do what they used to!!! Heck, I'm 62 and I can't do what I could 10 years ago!!!
Off to drop Mom off home (and get my steaks she bought me) when I had a great thought. There is a vacuum repair right in Mahopac, so the vacuum is on the back of my car until Monday. I was too tired to even think of dropping it off today - with the way this day went they would have been closed.
AND THAT WAS MY DAY thank you for letting me vent.
