The day started with a list of chores, small ones, my mother wanted me to do on the kitchen table. Okay, the day didn't start with that, I had already put out all the garbage barrels and fed my sister's terrorist cat, but that's what was waiting for me when I sat down at the kitchen table.
Then I'm down in the basement working away when the intercom buzzes, annoyingly. My mother wants to know if I would like to come upstairs to help her with the bills. Uh, no. Greg's working, like he's been doing every day. I'm kind of crazed because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I want to get there. I tell her I will be done around 5.
My mother needs to go to an ophthalmologist to get her cataract surgery scheduled.
I tell her just to make an appointment this week. The only day I am unavailable is Wednesday when I have the Haggis coming over to do a sound check on the movie.
So, my mother just used the intercom to call me, again, to see if Wednesday at 9 or Wednesday at 2 would be a better time to go to her appointment.
I just have to make it through Friday.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
