Aberdeen

Got up late and didn't meet A until he finished shopping at Aberdeen. He seemed super happy. That was good. (Although a bit alarming that his mood-swing is so big.) Had afternoon snack at Aoyama, then headed to M to pick up his PC case. He got the store to price match, so all of a sudden a monitor was added to my trunk. I barely had enough room, but thank God, we didn't have to put anything in the back seat. I couldn't believe I forgot to check out the dollar store and XS Cargo right next to M. I'm glad that those stools are not sold out. After that, Costco. A didn't buy that much but the bill went over $100! Yikes!!!!! Had junk food for dinner at A's. Tried to cook him some oatmeal, but the eggs must be old. He couldn't finish it.

Christie Swiss Cheese cracker

From 2011 November. I think there was a low fat version but this box was the last one left. (They were on sale.) I was hungry when I ate them, so they automatically tasted good. The cheese is strong and with a bite. A bit on the salty side, but I was having a salt craving so it was perfect. Don't think the low fat version would taste this good.

Out patient

The appointment was at 2:15 but I was told to get there earlier for paperwork, so I tried to give it an extra 15 minutes... Didn't know the actual clinic was one floor below. Only managed to have 10 minutes for paper work. Before I knew it, it was 2:35!!!! Aaaarrrrgggghhh!!!!!!!! The doctor didn't look too friendly. He speaks fast, and seemed to just run down a list of questions. At the end he prescribed anti-depressant. Heavy dosage too. I'm super worried.

Was hoping to take mom to Toshi but she refused. Well, as mom may not have completely recovered, it was not good to line up outside the restaurant. We ended up eating out nearby. Toshi will have to wait.

Spray paint

(Picture was taken on the 3rd and unrelated to subject.)
Finally get to spray paint the stuff. It's still cold and the wind was kind of strong.

Used up half the lemon for lemon honey. Which means mom and I each got 1/4. I cannot understand why she's been so resistant about it. (Maybe she stubbornly believes sweet-tasting food is bad for cold.) Nonetheless she drank it, but didn't seem to like it too much. Did I make it not well or something?

Rice roll

Mom still has some cough so it's better to stay home. I went to see dad instead. Managed to catch him at dinner time. As usual, he's got spit all around him at the dining table. The staff praise him for feeding himself. Well, comparing to other residents there, he's not that bad. Except for spitting, taking things apart, flushing things down the toilet, refusing diapers while incontinent.

Went to get some take-out Vietnamese rice roll for dinner as mom seems to have gotten tired of the multi-grain rice. Got a huge lemon across the street for lemon honey. (Although mom said she didn't want to try any.) Massive construction on Kingsway and everyone thinking the same, went onto Knight Street. Took me a while to get home.

Simply Food chocolate chip cookie

From 2011 November. With the last one tasting bad, I hope this one would be better. And it didn't disappoint me. It's sweetness is just right. Texture was quite loose and crumbly, though. Which makes it very messy. It's edible but not really my cup of tea.

Chiropractor

Woke up by brother. Turns out mom phoned him last night asking him to see dad... despite asking me to do the same. Does she not trust me?

Thank God for chiropractor day. Last night's scrubbing did a number on my shoulders. Was going to check out Thursday's appointment location. A wanted beans so I went to Innocent right after chiropractor. Then the clinic location. My lack of direction sense had me went in a big circle. Oh well. Delivered the beans to A. S came to pick up the x-box while I wen to pick up pizza. Thought he'd stay for a game or two, but he didn't. Hung out at A's for a bit while he did some post-trip laundry.

Once again, I saw the communication block is high.
