Let's see where to begin...
My father was admitted to the hospital on Saturday. His blood sugar was through the roof (my bro said it was 970). When did I find out he was in ICU? That would be Monday. MONDAY! My brother called me to tell me. THEN yesterday my friend from the old home town called asking how my dad was. How did she know? My stepmonster asked the congregation of their church to pray for him. So the whole congregation knew before I did. I'm so mad I could just spit! I wanna stick my thumb in her eye I swear!
On a better note. My father is recovering quite nicely. They let him out of ICU on Monday and yesterday he was much better. He was hoping to get sprung from the "joint" today. I haven't been able to reach him to confirm that he got out or not. I'm hoping that's a good sign.
My phone went out on Monday as well. We had a good rainstorm with some whippin' wind and my phone went dead. Of course I didn't know my phone was dead till my CCB came home to ask why I didn't answer the phone. They got it fixed today. Whew.
It seems that all the cats that the freaks on the corner harbor are expanding their territory. A mother and her three kittens seem to have adopted my house as their own. At first I thought they were just hunting for lizards but I'm seeing them more frequently now. I have three words for you freaky neighbors: SPAY and NEUTER! I can't tell you how many there are the litters are having litters it's crazy! Part of me wants to call animal control but I don't want to start a feud you know?
CCB and I went to the garden center of Walmart on Monday. I just wanted to take a walk but CCB said it would be too dark soon so we set off to meander the flowers of the garden center instead. I know, we're weird. Anyway while we are in there the power goes out, then the generators kick on, and then this funky alarm goes off. They make us evacuate the store and I'm unable to purchase the groovy little plants I found. On our way back home we are passed by lots of fire trucks, police and paramedic vehicles. I still don't know what went down there. I WANT to know!
I went to purchase a gift for CCB yesterday for Fathers day. I had already scoped it out and knew what it would cost. When I got to the register it was 20 dollars more than the shelf label said. Initially I was thinking "fine whatever. It's what we wanted for him." The more I thought about it though the more irked I became. I went to the customer service desk and explained what happened. She called the dept and they wouldn't answer the phone so she walked back there. That took forever. When she got back she said, "That's the price." That was it! Nothing about the wrong shelf label. No comping me the difference. Nothing. So I returned the darn thing and went and bought it somewhere else for 20 dollars less!
I told you I was a cranky old lady.

No, you are not crazy.....You are just tired of inefficency.....Hang in there girl and I hope your dad it doing better. I can't believe his blood sugar was that high, it is a wonder he didn't go into a diabetic coma.....Glad he's better.
Cranky, yet canny. Cranky, yet caring. Cranky but so what?
I hope your father continues to improve.
And, you can probably call animal control anonymously (explain to them that you don't want your neighbors to resent you). I've done that once before and it was fine.
Good luck. Feral cats roaming around piss me off.
I bet you're not as cranky as me! At least you don't have a shitty job! Sorry, I just got home from mine(it's midnight) and I'm so mad I could just spit! Please let me get my new job!!!!!

I don't see any undue crankiness. I see perfectly normal reactions to other peoples idiotic actions. I'd want to poke someone in the eye too!
I hope your dad gets to feeling much better. My best friend has diabetes and I know how scary it can get when the sugar gets that high. Prayers are headed his way!:)
Our family sets up a "Bless Be The Tie That Binds" alert when anyone is sick. You can't have an eyelash out of place without everyone knowing. My husband's family could have a death and we would only learn about it if we were standing next to the deceased at the time. Go figure.
Take Sprinkle when you go shopping and she'll put the retailers in their place. She's looking for a good fight right now. LOL
Oh my and yes I'm glad your dad is okay and will hold him in my prayers.
Wow that is nuts! I would have been flaming pissed too!! Hope your dad gets better soon
Wow! You're having one of those weeks! It doesn't help that today is Friday the 13th huh?
I would be so bummed about the Dad thing too! That happened to me once when my dad had to go to the hospital b/c he was dehydrated and my step mom told me AFTER he was home! That is unacceptable! There should be a set plan for those types of things. 1-get the person to the hospital/safe, whatever 2-call all the kids, immediate family 3- go from there.
And about the cats...I say call animal control! Those things reproduce like gerbils and that's gross and if they start doing it over and over there will be cats overrunning the streets! Do your neighbors need to know who called? Keep it anonymous!
Hope your weekend gets better!
Well if that means you're cranky, then I'm miserable, cantankerous and unbearable. Nobody should be treated like that shop assistant treated you, and you did exactly right spending your money somewhere else, plus it was cheaper too, Brucie bonus!
Hope your dad's on the mend, I know exactly how it feels about your stepmother, my stepdad told everyone else before he told me that my mum had a stroke, I went nuclear.
