If your mom calls and the computer happens to be nearby then crank up CVBJ or the free game linked through this site (I'm assuming you're practicing with one of the two) and play while chatting with her. It's pretty low stakes if you have to ask her to repeat herself or you lose the thread of the conversation. You can make up whatever excuse. If she likes to talk a lot then all the better. If your BS is perfect like you say then you shouldn't have to think about any of those decisions and then counting/index plays are the only variables.
