My mother is 89. Two years ago, she moved in with me. Each morning I hear her getting up at around 7:30 AM.<\/p>\n
She then baby talks to and feeds the 23 year old cat. Afterward, she makes herself breakfast and sits in the sunroom drinking coffee until she comes to her senses.<\/p>\n
Then she pushes her dust mop across the floors ( 2600 sq feet. ) for exercise. She will then cook if she feels like it, clean the kitchen, and do some calisthenics.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, she does her beauty routine, which varies. Occasionally, she sifts through her megalithic, expensive and expansive wardrobe and either gifts me with stuff, donates, or sells them on the Real Real.<\/p>\n
I tell often her, \u2018 Mom, you could have invested this money, and be living in a luxury home now.\u2019 \u2018 Eh,\u2019 she replies. \u2018 I love my clothes. Plus one day, all this will be yours because your sister has no taste.\u2019<\/p>\n

For fun, we take 3 mile walks by the lake about 5 times per week. She meets up with her girlfriends about once a month to party. She reads a lot and is working her way through my library.<\/p>\n
She daily speaks with her 91 year old sister who lives in San Diego and visits twice a year. (My aunt still works as an accountant for a private client).<\/p>\n
Aside from the cat, her greatest joy is her tablet, which I gave her last Christmas. She loves to read all about her favorite authors and composers, listen to the non mainstream news, watch various ballets, operas etc. At midnight, I hear her saying something like- \u2018 I should really go to sleep now but someone put Pavarotti in my YouTube! \u2018
\nShe and her sister won the genetic lottery.<\/p>\n
Photo is from 2 years ago. This is how she dressed to go on an airplane. \u2018 I look horrible! \u2018 she says. I try to emphasize the positive. \u2018 Mom, most people are dead at your age.
