Granny settles in... sort of.

So, Granny is settling in to her new place except she keeps thinking of crap she left at the house and she is always asking me when I'm going to bring it over.
Also, she had some meds to pick up from Kroger and she called my cell phone four (4) times (yes, count them: 4) wondering when I was coming over to take her to Kroger.
(Message 1: "This is me. I was calling to see if you were going to take me to get my medicine tonight. Thanks.)
(Message 2: "It's me again. I need to get my medicine. )
(Message 3: "I really need my medicine. Come over and take me to Kroger) (Message 4: silence...)

Yes, brave reader, we did make it to Kroger and her meds are safely in hand! Along the way she remembered all sorts of stuff she needed like cleaners, cereals, bread, butt wipe, paper towels, etc...
Yes, I also am painfully aware that it is a Sunday and I might burn in hell for taking her shopping at Kroger. To me, however, the ox was in the proverbial ditch and it gets her off my back for the rest of the day. Maybe the Lord will look kindly on me for helping a poor old lady.

All is well for the moment. There is still the case of the expiring auto insurance left to solve. Insurance premiums, auto payment from a checking account, massive amounts of money that would bankrupt an old lady and leave her penniless, that kind of thing. That, however, if for another post.

The sun is quite brutal today and somehow I think, despite Granny's negativity, the sun will continue to be quite brutal tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, etc...

Until then... BLOG ON!
