I hope you all had a nice holiday! I’m still recovering from TMT……too much turkey. I need to take a good long swim today. Here’s a good Christmas story for you. My Mom can’t see very well at all. She’s next to blind. She’s obsessed with the time. Every 10-15 minutes she asks, “what time is it?” So, being the thoughtful creature that I am, I got her a talking clock for Christmas. A little clock she can carry around with her. You press a button and it tells you the time. It also has an AM radio that is really easy to turn on and off. So she’s thrilled to death with it. I am so delighted that I got something useful that makes her happy. She carries the thing around with her for two days, and is so happy she doesn’t have to ask for the time. So last night, I’m busy doing dishes and cleaning the kitchen up and she’s in her bedroom calling me…..and calling me. And she’s been sick, so it freaks me out. I think to myself, oh please don’t let her be puking again!! I go in the bedroom and she hands me the clock. She says, “press this button and tell me what it says.” So much for talking clocks……..
