It is befuddling and it is aggravating. When miscommunication and an unintended series of blunders lead to tears and angry stomping and you stress out because it was all so stupid. All of us needs to learn how to communicate better and pay more attention to details. Be explicit about what one means and exercise common courtesy - like keeping to time, not expecting people to read one's mind or actions, explaining intentions clearly with no need for someone to second guess those intentions. And keeping one's cell always handy always charged up because it is very frustrating to call and call and call and get no response.
Sad and totally un-nerving.
And not helping to reduce the carbon footprint when one ends up cruising up and down San Ramon roads looking intently for a familiar figure probably weeping all the way home. At the risk of not paying attention to other drivers and people on the roads. Worrying about the worst and praying for the best.
Trials and tribulations of raising a brood. The journey back to UCB was heavy with unspoken remorse and regret.
On the lighter side, a box just arrived! And the Man asked me what I bought and I said sunscreen. But then again, I knew the sunscreen was out of stock and on back order so second guess, it must be the Half Man because the box says Amazon.com.
Wrong on all counts!
Thank you, Uncle Damien and Auntie Siew Mun and Ethan and Elliot. It was totally unexpected and a most wonderful surprise. A Kindle 2!!! And with a beautiful Cole Haan leather cover. I would never in a million years have bought one for myself because I could never in a million years find the will to get one. I don't ever bother with my own birthdays. But my siblings always remember and won't let me forget. So thank you thank you thank you.
More to come. I gotta play with my Kindle 2 first and get ready for my dental appointment.
