If you have only two pennies left in the world, with the first penny, you should buy rice to feed your family. With the second penny, say the wise Japanese, you should buy a lily. The Japanese understand the importance of dreaming...-Japanese Proverb

Nuts For Nightingale

Thursday, June 18, 2009

I crawled into bed tonight feeling a great deal better than I have in a while. Life still sucks, but I am doing better with the ever increasing demands on my day. And then I got another email from my sister. The fourth one today.

We are hashing out my gram’s estate and all I want to do know is stab myself in the eye with a hot poker. Repeatedly.

She started to conversation with: I think we should do x for D.

I say: okay, sure, are we going to do x this way or that way? We could do it this way, or how about this way.

She says: well doing x this way means this, and I don’t know if everyone will be on board, I don’t know any other way to do x, but I think we should really do it.

I say: okay, so do x that way.

She say: well we have to get agreement from the other two grandchildren.

I say: well, whatever you do, I am fine with the idea

She say: yes, but still we have to do it as a collaborative

I say: I DON’T FUCKING CARE HOW YOU DO IT OR WHAT YOU DO JUST TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WILL COST.

Don’t know if this will go on, but I anticipate yes. Sadly, desperately yes. Mostly because I went to email her back with the above response (in much nicer words of course) and I hit the back button so it looked like it deleted instead of sent. I then wrote out the email again and made sure to send it this time. Turns out I sent it the first time. She is going to be soooooooo pleased to get that email (in much nicer words of course) twice.

FML.
