Well, my activities for last Saturday are pretty much summarized in the tweets below. Did a drive-by search for Mocha, with the usual lack of success. I have learned to cope with Ma's nightly recriminations, because I've observed that she can go from angry to sunshine (as if nothing ever happened) in a snap. So while her words still sting, they do not make me dissolve into a tearful wreck as formerly. Carry one's cross and all that, with many prayers that I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill.

In happier events, the Hainanese chicken rice at Kenny Rogers' wasn't bad at all. Personally, I could have used some more sesame oil in my ginger, but that's just me. Got Ma's vitamins at Healthy Options. Would have liked to linger a little longer but Ramon looked like he needed a nap, so home we went, after a quick dash into Rustan's for cat food.
