Sassy Black Friend

Tiresome? Yes they are

I have good news and bad news. Both are the same information – my mother is visiting for a week. That’s good because she loves home improvement projects and now that the weather is getting nicer, that’s what I’m all about right now.

I mean, there are not a lot of other people who want to spend all day measuring walls and angles, and researching the best choice of Amish fireplaces. Gotta love her for that.

But, on the other hand, all of this time together means plenty of opportunity for her to hassle me about my job and leaving DC. For whatever reason she doesn’t think I should stay here forever, and can’t wait for me to – as she puts it – “move onto the next phase.” I thought that was code for marriage and kids, but I think she really just wants me to live in a suburb somewhere and have a job that involves going into an office everyday. Sigh.
