She continued ranting about what had happened earlier. 144. "That damn kid is always so nosy," she muttered. 145. Doris no longer remembered she used to be Ethan. 146. She never would. 147. "What was I doing again?" she asked herself in a blunt accent. 148. Doris clip-clopped over to the vanity mirror on the dresser. 149. She admired herself, complimenting herself in the mirror. 150. "Damn, Doris, you look good for 65," she said, hyping herself up. 151. "Your hair is just perfect." 152. "Your nails are on point." 153. "That shirt is fierce, girl." 154. "Look at that body, hon." 155. "Eyes popping today." 156. Doris decided she needed to run a few errands. 157. She looked down at her feet, smiling as she admired her nails. 158. She grabbed her purse, throwing it over her shoulder. 159. Keeping the outfit she was wearing on, she clip-clopped out to her car. 160. She drove to the store, feeling confident. 161. Upon arriving, she grabbed her purse and got out of the car. 162. Doris looked at herself as she walked into the store and said, "Damn, I look good. I'm one hot Chicago woman." 163. Doris grabbed eight snacks and drinks for Lily: 164. 1. Cheetos. 165. 2. Lay's potato chips. 166. 3. Oreo cookies. 167. 4. Gatorade. 168. 5. Pepsi. 169. 6. Skittles. 170. 7. Hershey's chocolate bars. 171. 8. Fruit Roll-Ups. 172. Doris grabbed a few things for herself, including some wine. 173. She headed to the liquor aisle, requesting help at the counter. 174. "Excuse me, I need help over here," she said in an urban, angry, blunt Chicago accent. 175. "I need two bottles of Jack Daniel's," she demanded. 176. "And a bottle of Grey Goose." 177. The female cashier asked for ID, smiling politely. 178. "Can I see your ID, ma'am?" 179. Doris got confused and frustrated. 180. "Why the hell do you need my ID? I’m clearly old enough," she huffed. 181. "Just need a glimpse of it for the cameras, ma'am,” the cashier explained, still smiling. 182. Doris began a rant: "This is Chicago! I don't get why I need to show ID!" 183. "You should recognize me by now, I've been coming here for years!" 184. "It’s just such a pain in the ass!" 185. "You see these wrinkles? You see this gray hair?" 186. "Do I look like I’m under 21 to you?" 187. "I’m old enough to be your mother’s mother!" 188. The cashier, trying to calm things down, said, "Don’t worry about it, miss. I'm sorry for offending you." 189. Doris wasn't satisfied and told the cashier off. 190. "You better be sorry! This is bullshit." 191. She walked over to the manager and told him about the situation. 192. "I feel very offended. Your cashier is rude," she said sternly. 193. She left the store, placing her sunglasses on before announcing her return home. 194. "I’m home!" she yelled for Lily to help bring in the groceries. 195. “Get your little ass in here, I got groceries!" she hollered in a sassy blunt voice. 196. "These snacks and drinks are only for after dinner," she clarified. 197. "You must ask for permission to touch any of them,” she added in a blunt voice. 198. "If I catch you sneaking them, you'll be grounded, young lady," she warned. 199. Lily asked for a snack, saying, "Mom, can I have some Oreo cookies?" 200. Doris got angry and went on another rant. 201. "Did you hear nothing of what I just said?" 202. "You ask me right after I told you!" 203. "How thick-headed can you be, huh?" 204. "It's like you have no respect for the rules!" 205. "I said after dinner, not before!" 206. "You keep pushing me, I swear!" 207. "Do I need to spell it out for you?" 208. "Damn, where's your head at, girl?" 209. Finished with her rant, Doris clip-clopped to her room. 210. She stood in front of the mirror, admiring herself. 211. "Doris, you fine as hell," she said assertively. 212. She continued ranting about the store incident, "And that damn cashier!” 213. "Can’t believe she treated me like a kid.” 214. “And that friend of Lily’s, damn nuisance." 215. "Fucking kid doesn't know when to keep his hands off shit." 216. Doris shook her head, returning her focus to her reflection. 217. She decided her errands could wait. 218. She needed to rest after all that nonsense. 219. She slipped into her comfortable clothes. 220. Doris sent a text to Jennifer to update her on today's events. 221. As she recounted, she left no detail out. 222. She slipped into fresh flip-flops. 223. She sat down in her living room with a glass of wine. 224. Lily joined her, cautiously watching her mother. 225. "I told you those are after dinner," she reminded Lily one last time. 226. Lily nodded, understanding her mother's tone. 227. She settled into her favorite chair. 228. She thought about the Jack Daniel's in her bag. 229. But that could wait until later in the evening. 230. Right now, Doris needed to relax. 231. She looked over at Lily and smiled. 232. "Let's just have a nice quiet evening." 233. She missed the Chicago nightlife but cherished these quiet moments. 234. "We’ll make dinner soon." 235. "It's just us against the world," she joked. 236. Lily nodded, smiling back at her mother. 237. "I know, Mom," Lily replied. 238. Doris put her hand over her heart. 239. "We’ll get through anything," she assured. 240. "Just a matter of time," she emphasized. 241. The calm settled over them. 242. Doris glanced at the mantle. 243. Family photos rested on the shelves. 244. Her parents, long gone, stared back at her. 245. She wished they could see her now. 246. "You're doing great, Mom," Lily reassured. 247. Doris smiled, appreciating her daughter’s words. 248. "Thanks, baby." 249. Doris leaned back, closing her eyes. 250. The day's events finally catching up. 251. She couldn’t wait to delve into those snacks later. 252. But first, a nap sounded perfect. 253. Lily joined her on the couch. 254. Doris pulled her daughter close. 255. Together, they would always stand strong. 256. No matter what transformations life brought. 257. Doris opened her eyes briefly. 258. She glanced down at her painted toenails. 259. She remembered how she loved that red color. 260. Her nails gleamed under the living room light. 261. "Always loved this color," she murmured. 262. She drifted back into peaceful contemplation. 263. Life was unpredictable. 264. But she knew how to tackle it head-on. 265. "Tomorrow is another day," she thought. 266. She felt a sense of completeness. 267. A knowing she was exactly where she needed to be. 268. With Lily by her side. 269. Life in Illinois was good enough for her. 270. And that was enough.
