Mail from people you don’t expect it from

by

I got a card from my grandmother last week. She wanted to say hi and wish me well in my new place. What is weird is that I don’t speak to her very often. About 5 years or so ago we had some issues that she could not work through so we don’t really speak. Not going to get into it, but lets just say you don’t lie to a grandchild and then lie about the lying. In the past 2 years we have traded cards back and forth. In may she visited my sister and I spoke with her. I had other plans already so I couldn’t see her. She seemed to mellow in her old age. With the card she send a $100.

I am about to write her back right now. I haven’t wanted to talk with her, but she seems to be approachable recently so I will give it a try. She of course is my grandmother and I still love her even if I have trouble talking with her.

I am just grumpy today I guess

On the I got screwed side of the day, I rushed in the morning and caught the early train. The train proceeded to break down and require everyone to switch trains. The end result is I got into work at the same time I would normally have. Some days you cannot win. I shouldn’t complain. I did get allot done today. I am just tired and cranky. It is thursday night and I still have not done anything to schedule my SCUBA class. I will try again tomorrow, if not try to find the next class.

Thanks to Gus for talking me out of buying the G4 Powermac I saw that was really discounted (yet still expensive). I think I will keep my powerbook for a while more. I did say that I am not getting a new laptop for at least a year. I have almost half a year left on that promise. I will see if I keep it. with my track record I probably won’t.
