Day 8
We leave the day after tomorrow. We still have to clean out Mom's closet. The condo is looking really good. I bought new decorator items and rearranged the future. The realtor was impressed and will take new pictures next week to post on the web.
As I walked into the room, I felt 32 pairs of eyes on me and the conversation dropped to a hush. I had entered enemy territory.
All I wanted to do was donate 10 decks of cards to the pinochle group who played on Friday nights. They saw me as the DAUGHTER of one of their players. No one said anything but I could feel the hostility in the room.
I managed to hand the plastic baggie filled with cards to the leader and scurried out the door.
Today Mom received a phone call inviting her to play card. The caller reported she saw me delivering the cards.
She was concerned I hadn't left her any cards at home!
I have tried to be respectful of Mom's wishes, but I am not perfect. The pressure is not as great now that we are almost done.
