Friday 21st of January - Daily Trials with Mother & KFC!
Unbelievable!! Nine o'clock at night and I was just deciding whether to write my Blog or go to sleep when Mum rang me. "Can you order me some KFC? Morrison's didn't bring me any Duck's Legs and I will need some chicken for Sunday." Me - "Mum do you know what time it is? Even if I order it tonight, you shouldn't eat it after tomorrow anyway and it will cost about £15 plus delivery online." Mum, "Okay, well I Will eat it tonight and I want some now! but I don't know how to order it online." I begrudgingly ordered said Chicken and let Mum know it should be with her by half nine at the latest! That's the time it is now but no phone call to say it's arrived but there again I did tell my Mum not to ring at night again and she is probably too busy scoffing the chicken by now!
I don't know why I am surprised, as she no doubt thinks things are back to normal after I took her for her 2nd vaccination yesterday, only because my sister was attending an audiology appointment. So I said so long as I was okay I would take Mum. Anyway off we went, only to find that she wasn't due to have her 2nd vaccination, as it had been cancelled! Hmm while Mum thought she would still have her 2nd Jab due to her shielding, but it had been cancelled, although Mum swears nobody rang her to let her know. Of course!! So when she asked if I could take her to Poundland to get her make up and vitamins, I am sure you can understand why I nearly exploded and said "What part of Shielding or Stay at home do you not understand Mum?" " Well if you don't take me I will get a taxi or ask your sister to get this shopping." So of course as my sister has a heart condition yes I reluctantly took Mum to the shop, all the time ranting that I hope she only picked up her shopping and not Covid as well!! Of course this went completely over my Mum's head as she said she was only getting her vitamins and make up, both of which she couldn't get from Morrison's. Of course she still managed to fill two large shopping bags, which even I couldn't carry and Mum wasn't impressed when she had to struggle to carry them into her bungalow. Hmm maybe I should have let her get a Taxi and they could have taken her shopping to the door - note to self remember that next time.
I can tell you I came home in such an anxious state I bet my blood pressure was pinging away. Now I will just be counting the days until I know she hasn't caught Covid and sincerely hope she hasn't as I told her today it would KILL her, that's if her KFC doesn't kill her off first - but who am I to know!!
