What’s Eating Aunt Debbie?

Posted on by

I’ve eaten at 3 different Mexican restaurants in the past month or so. Only one of them was worth going to again. I’ve eaten a lot of Mexican food over the years and no, I’ve never been to Mexico or Texas, but holy crap. When the refried beans don’t taste like beans, the enchilada sauce is like tomato sauce, and the rice tastes dirty, I won’t eat there again. I can let go of the fact that the salsa may have way too much cilantro or the tortilla chips weren’t perfect. I know that restaurants have bad days. I know there are different regions of Mexico so each restaurant may have different recipes… Maybe I’ve become too picky or my palate has just been spoiled over the many years of eating at a Tex-Mex place that has closed down. All I know is that I know what tastes good to me…

Looking after Dad has been especially difficult this past month. He’s been forgetful more than usual. His gait is unsteady. He has fallen twice. His blood pressure goes high mid-day even though he takes his meds. He sleeps in his chair off and on all day long. He’s not sleeping well at night. He sleeps some but it’s not restful sleep. I worry. I stress a lot.

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired and frankly pissed off to no end, of this political shitstorm! Trump is an asshole, plain and simple. Every single person he has in his entourage is an asshole. You have to be an asshole to follow an asshole. He has no morals. He wants what he wants. He is the biggest narcissist this world has ever seen. He wants to change our government to the way he wants it to be. He wants to destroy everything we have and everything we know. I could write all day about Trump and still not cover everything…

Our washing machine is being stupid. It washes fine. No problems with a load being clean. The problem is that it doesn’t just beep (a tune) when a load is finished. It decides in the middle of the night to beep off and on as if there’s an unfinished load in the machine. It needs to be serviced before I beat it to death with a baseball bat!

Well, that’s what’s eating me today. Not sure about the rest of the week. Haha. Have a great day, friends.

  1. I think I’ve mentioned that working in New Mexico I’ve had the same issue with finding a good Mexican restaurant here as well. Everything is “New Mexican” food and for my taste, it’s extremely bland. Of course the locals would fight me on that comment but right now, I’d welcome a good fight to prove myself right, lol. You know that salsa with cilantro for me is like kryptonite because I loath the devils herb…lol. In your care package I sent you a local (NM) red enchilada sauce, it should be something you can use if you decide to make enchiladas at home, your health willing. Hopefully you’ll find it tastier than some of the enchilada sauce at Mexican restaurants over in your neck of the woods.

    Don’t even get me started on the POS that’s been elected again to run this country. It’s a source of stress for a lot of people and for me as well. So I choose to try and focus on something more positive, like trying to get my water heater fixed, lol. I’m so sorry he’s fallen, it’s never something we are prepared to deal with when they easily loose their balance or trip. My mom’s fallen 9 times this year, and she fell last week in her bathroom in the middle of the night and my brother didn’t find her until he got up to go to work. But she’s hell bent on staying out an assisted living facility. She doesn’t want to loose her autonomy, whatever of it she has left that is. So I understand your worrying about dad, so I hope that your sis moves in with you to help. I’m sure it would take the burden off of you solely.

    My washing machine is starting to act up to (to add to the roof, the water heater and garage door) so I’m just taking it day by day with the appliances in my house. As well as my cats, LMAO.
    I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving my dear friend!

  2. Don’t get out the bat! Is there a switch for the buzzer on the washer? If you could turn it off then at least it wouldn’t go off at 3am. You could set a stop watch for a load and then once you know the length of time a load takes just set a timer you keep with you or one on your phone.
