Flynn: I am now far away from my parents after waiting over twenty minutes for them to be called into the doctor’s office for an appointment at 9:20 am. Usually, i wait in the car.
But today and due to pain in my buttocks, hips, and lower extremities, i decided to go for a brief walk, hold mom and carry her portable oxygen concentrator; while dad held onto her heavy Coach handbag and their attaché case of medical records. We used the toilet before heading upstairs to the third floor.
Mom was her usual annoying self as i reminded her of picking up her pills at the local pharmacy. She also said that i was being like my dad who is equally stubborn and annoying and crazy to think that she refuses to pop her heart pills, like a good little girl.
I made a point that we should inform the front desk that they were fifteen minutes late as per sign on the wall. But she said shut up as a white old man won’t shut up around three Filipinos waiting nearby. So dad kindly explained thar it’s fifteen minutes after the scheduled appointment, not fifteen minutes after checking in. He’s correct. I hate her.
Kitty: Yeah, she must be sick and tired of you humanz, because like most humanz with big and stubborn egos, she can’t seem to get her way and blames you, your dad, and his relatives for her overall sickness.
After breakfast this morning, i heard her say that she will do whatever she wants. And i guess, she being that old on her last leg of this journey, she doesn’t care anymore and will say whatever she wants, too.
If you were a feline like me, I’m sure you’d paw her good with a scratch, no make that two scratches, and a hiss to make you point. Then she’ll probably won’t get on your case and nerves daily.
I’m sure she’s like a loving mother who doesn’t get it. She said many times that she misses her mother. Maybe, she needs some of Cleopatra’s sphynx milk. That usually calms any savage beast and puts them into a nice cat nap. Perhaps, she could dream about her family, too.
