Tyler in Watching Time Go By

My work friend loved her mixtape.
I’m so happy about that.
The weather went chilly again today so I checked on my plants and stayed in.
I had food truck food two days in a row so I’m not really feeling a dinner today.

What I was feeling today was Tyler, the Creator’s music. I hadn’t listened to it in a while.
I was really mad when I had the opportunity to use some free PTO to leave work early and my playlist wouldn’t play for the ride home.

I stopped at the store and got some “spa” goodies for my dad’s girlfriend.
I want to call her his wife, but they won’t be getting married. At least not while her mother is alive. She has alzheimers and I think she carries her on her own health insurance or supports it. I’m not sure. Anyway, I got her lots of face masks, spa socks, nail polishes, lip balm, lotion, shampoo & conditioner, soap, chocolates and a card. I put it in a tote-bag. She’s been good for my dad and I’m not entirely sure what all she likes so I figure she can pamper herself. What I do know is that my dad has well water, so I got moisturizing stuff.

I ordered my mom a Samsung Qi charger in beige. I didn’t remember her having one the last time I went to her place. (Very awkward not saying “home”). She’s very hard to shop for. We can’t really take her out because she had gastric bypass when I was in college and didn’t take care of herself after. She can’t have alcohol because of that and because she’s an alcoholic. (No idea if she uses other drugs such as pills, but I don’t think I will know). I’ve given her some gift cards for ebooks or electronics and I got her a nice fleece shawl once. I got her flowers last year but I didn’t want to do the same thing. I might make her a pamper basket next year. She recently had surgery, too.

Tomorrow we’ll take my mother-in-law out for dinner. My husband’s parents are sweet and dote on us because their other son is controlled by his awful wife. She is terrible toward them for no reason in particular ever since they married. It’s sad. I told his mom she didn’t have to worry about that from me. I don’t believe in tearing people apart. I often wonder why he lets her do that, but it may be entirely possible that he didn’t enjoy his home life growing up and just wants to do his own thing. (I just don’t see how he doesn’t see what he is doing to his own mother without some reason). They’re pretty civil with them, still. But it hurts them.

I read a couple chapters of my book after I put the gift together.
My husband came home late. Late enough for me to hurry up and make the bed before he saw the mess I left it in when I woke up late today. HEH. He wasn’t particularly hungry, either.

Anyway, here’s some Tyler! He, Frank Ocean, Kendrick and Lana Del Rey helped me get through a difficult work period and eventually a break-up.
