Living with mom and Customer Service…

9/27/16 PM: So I moved in with my mother 8-10 years ago I guess it’s been.  My home was falling apart around me and I thought it would be good for us financially to help each other out.  Although I was raising my grand-daughter she was ok with it so I moved in.  What a ride it has been my health went bad her knees went bad and both of us have hearing issues I swear because of allergies.  Fast forward to today.  Mom’s fighting an abscess tooth and its hit her hard.  They tried to take it out and left her cheek swollen and bruised so she’s on antibiotics and pain meds until tomorrow when they are going to try again.  I don’t think they will be able to though as she’s fighting a whole lot of pain and it has not let up but we shall see.  I think I am getting a case of bronchitis and been fighting my ears hurting.

So earlier this evening we are both sitting on the couch and I’m talking to her and she’s like huh?  We looked at each other and start busting out laughing.  We do this often because at any given time either of us can’t hear each other and we can be sitting right next to each other on the couch.  I love that I moved in with her.  Mom and I take care of each other.  Her more me with all my ailments but I get to when she is sick also and that has me feeling good that I can help repay just a little of what she has done for me as she has gone above and beyond any parent should. 

9/28/16 3:40 So I go to get smokes earlier after picking up some of my medications and dropping off other RX’s and the customer service person in me comes out of no where.  I go to the same place most times to get my killer sticks between my vapor non-nicotine puffs because I do make an attempt to lower my intake and hope to actually quit and stay quit day but I digress.  The young man who takes care of me often there pulls out the first three packs of my brand and they are like cut opened at the bottom.  Manufacturer type not human messed with type.  Anyhoo the other gal standing there decides to say I don’t see anything what’s the matter with them?  Really?  I am standing right there people.  You can argue and debate that crap not in front of customers.  I said out loud “you don’t have to argue about it in front of me!”  Like seriously people what happened to customer service has everyone become me – depressed, anxious, ADHD, tired of life as we know it?  I was irritated but please that I noticed it.  There was a little piece of the old me back for just one second.  Who knew?  What happens next time will tell.

Love to all…
