Venting Anger (and Cold)
Jan. 19th, 2024 09:39 amI am very angry at my sister right now. It'll pass, but for the moment, it exists.
As you know, I'm substitute teaching. I try to do once a week, more if Mom doesn't have too many doctor's appointments, and I only take the days when Sis has office hours. Why? Because she can come home after she finishes teaching and do office hours via zoom. She rushes back to be here by 2. I get home around 4, usually having picked up a coffee at Starbucks for Mom and/or ingredients for dinner. Since Mom rarely wakes before 10, she's really only alone for 4 hours.
( Long rant ensues under the cut. )
Cold means something different here. It's been in the upper 20s Fahrenheit in the mornings this week and hasn't gotten much above 50F which would be a balmy day in early spring in Boston, but is fricking cold down here.
I hadn't understood that even if we have electricity (Thank the developers for buried powered lines!), our internet service would cut out continually. It's messed with my access all week, including our phone service and cable tv. I just can't wait for this week to be over.
UPDATE: I'm at Urgent Care with Mom because she has chest pain and can't catch her breath.
