It was a sunny day!
We went to my dad’s for lunch and picked up some subs on the way. He never gets takeout unless we are over so it was a treat for him! He and Matt got cheesesteaks and fries and I got the worst tuna sub I’ve ever had. Normally I don’t get tuna out because it’s so easy and I make it a lot but I had a craving for some deli tuna. It was like eating paste. Just very dry tuna with a little mayo, no seasoning at all. I saw literally one tiny piece of celery. There was another sub place we used to go to years ago and they had really good but what I thought was pretty typical deli/sandwich’s shop tuna so I thought it would be like that. Nope! I’d be ashamed to have it on the menu. I could only manage about a quarter of it.
Our plan was to then go to a museum near PA after (my dad lives about halfway between here and there) but the traffic was nightmarish so we didn’t. Instead we went to Costco right away and got a chicken, the chicken taco kit, laundry detergent etc. I wanted charcoal but we didn’t see it. Why isn’t it with the grills and yard stuff? Where is it?
Matt took a nap and I put together this frame for punch needle I got and it was defective. Can’t anything be simple? I really wanted to go sit outside and craft but instead a wrestled with the stupid thing and it didn’t work.
For dinner we had the tacos and we watched Yellowjackets and I had some popcorn. Our visit was fine but missing the fun museum part and the awful sandwich and defective frame was annoying.
Plus it’s Mother’s Day and I am not a mother and my mother is dead. At least it’s over now and I can stop getting these endless “treat your mom” emails.
I’m still battling with Xfinity to get her name off my dad’s account—an account he opened after her death! It is so bizarre and frankly upsetting. Every time I log in, they greet me as my mom even though he is the only name listed on the account. They cannot tell me how her name became associated with the account, she never had an Xfinity or Comcast account in her life. It has been dragging on for over a year. Worst customer service ever. Dealing with that on Mother’s Day again was something else.
