A bit of a week

This past week has been a bit of a week. It started Monday with granny and her cell phone issues. Granny's cell phone died on Sunday and so I went to the store to get a new, free one. Well the one I brought home wasn't working aesthetically: the buttons and the screen were too small. I picked this one out after granny, being her usual indecisive self, couldn't pick something. So the next I went back to the store to try to get the one she wanted. They didn't have exactly that one so I thought maybe get the same one in pink instead of black or purple. As it turned out it wasn't going to be free after all, but what is? So I got a loaner phone which I thought was rather nice. That still didn't meet her approval. It was granny's lifelong lack of decision making skills that really got me the most frustrated and angry more so than anything else. If it were me needing to replace a cell phone I know what I'd want and get it. Anyway, the end of that story was I ordered granny a new phone online and now she's pestering me about its arrival. Some people are just spoiled impatient children.

Tuesday and Wednesday went pretty smooth. As I mentioned, Tuesday was the appointment at the recruiting firm. Prior to going to that appointment, I sent my resume to the residence association in my complex as well as to a dental office looking for help. I felt a little guilty about that one because if I get it, it would be like cheating on my really nice dentist. The only annoying thing about Wednesday was that younger nephew acted up in the park. Granny took the boy to the park while I went to get the groceries for the week. When I came to pick them up, he wanted to go to the library and walk home. Normally I wouldn't mind them going to the library but they were there for over an hour and, despite the fact that granny refuses to wear a perfectly lovely watch she bought, could plan their time better. I think he was a bit tired from pre-school so I let slide the almost tantrum.

Today, younger nephew thought he was some type of animal because he got out of his car pool nipping at granny and me. Then we went into Coffee Bean for his daily fix. At the coffee place, he got a straw for his drink and started using the straw as weapon. When I tried to stop him he started hitting, kicking, and scratching. Of course in granny's universe, that kind of behavior gets rewarded. If it were up to me, I would've taken him out of the store and not let him come back until he learned to behave. After depositing them at sis's house everything went fine. Fortunately, I don't have to experience them over the weekend. Two weekends in a row is more than enough.

More later.
