It’s apparently that time of the year when the normal course of things goes completely haywire. Witness the following:
I was summoned to Seattle for a week of training. This isn’t particularly bad. What was bad was the notice on Friday night at 6 p.m. to get up there. Sometimes our company doesn’t plan too far ahead. I’m anticipating that will get better.
I’ll be in Columbus, Ohio this upcoming weekend. I hesitate to say why because it’s something somewhat frivolous. Suffice to say it’ll be meeting people in person for the first time.
The biggest events have centered around our house guest of nearly a year. She has decided that Laureen has been spying on her and going through her things, and this merits giving Laureen the silent treatment. Not acceptable. She will be leaving on Friday. I could go into more detail, but they make me somewhat angry. I know blogs are supposed to be places to vent, rant, and talk, but it’s mostly a sad situation that reinforces the fact that you cannot help anyone against their will. You cannot convince someone that they have an issue.
It’s a sad situation, but in the end, we’ll have our house back to just us. We’ll have the shelves back in the closet and pantry. She’s made her choice. We’re making ours.
