It was late in the evening (around 11PM) when I made myself comfortable on the sofa next to my mom(F53) who was, as always, watching the news and sipping wine. Her evening routine usually consists of taking her antidepressants, having 1 to 2 more glasses of wine to enhance the effect of her meds and then either making it to bed or passing out on a sofa.
She’d just got out of the bath so the soft, pleasant smell of her soap and her shampoo lingered in the air, combined with smell of cannabis and tobacco it´s a smell I’d always associate with home. Every time I sat down next to her in the evening she would lie on her side next to me, resting her head in my lap facing the TV.
Why does she watch the news right before bed I don’t know but she also sometimes reads crime stories before bed so I guess she is just weird like that.
