I had told Elaine I would go with her on Thursday to the eye appointment at Seton. Elaine told me yesterday it was Wednesday and was that a problem? I had told Riordan I would volunteer that day. I go two ways in my thinking. Stuff like this now stresses me out. Is mom more important and I will call Riordan or should I have Elaine change the appt. It is a routine appointment. Last night I decide to tell Elaine to change the appointment and this morning I decide mom's appointment is more important. Elaine told me she is going to Chicago on Friday and won't be back until Tuesday when mom has another doctor's appointment. I go home and see Keith laying on the couch and think he has none of these family obligations.
 
Kathleen's email from aberdeen to angela:
I am kind of scared renting a car here. The laws etc. are different. I told Eorl we should try and go away at least for the weekend. I want to explore the United Kingdom. Things I learned while being here already. U get assigned seating at the movie theather they love to stand in lines waiting for the bus and they enter and leave through the same door they love to talk really fast and it sounds like they have a bunch of spit buildup in their mouths the men here are very skinny and hunch over the girls wear tons and tons of makeup .. they are trying to look like they live in LA with all the taning shit they have all over their faces, but it looks horrible, they are orange and broke out all over their faces due to the acess makeupthe food here sucks shit everything is fried. fried fries, chicken, hamburgers, etc.oh and even the chinese here have scotish accents.
