Very Long Week

Last week was not a very good one at all. Between a few packages that seemed to go astray and could not be located to just the normal annoyances here in the household it just seemed like if it were going to go wrong it certainly did. My printer which is one of my life lines in business finally said Oh no I quit. Hoping that it would last until after the holidays to purchase another one was all lost. Trying to find a cheap yet workable printer for rush jobs is much like looking for the best diet pills to take. Extremely hard to do. Especially in this time of year. As it is a popular gift to give. Yesterday we trekked to get one. Not happy with it but it will do until I have my good one serviced now.

Our phone line was corrupt and needed to be fixed. It did not interfere with the internet but it was annoying that it would ring once and drop off. Jamie fixed that finding the problem in the freezing cold elements. Good job! Phone rings and calls are once more received.

Hospice pissed me off as well. They are supposed to call each Tuesday with appointments. Rarely have I had one of those calls. I asked and asked to have one set day if possible. As getting dad ready at the spur of the moment only creates havoc. He rants and raves and does some pretty mean things when he is angry. I explained this to them, as they call and say Oh we will be there between 10-2 today. Looking at the time it is 945. Nice for letting me know. I went off. I apologized to the woman on the phone, as it really is not her fault. I felt bad but have some consideration.

When the nurse got here she apologized as well. The funny thing is they sent me a bouquet of flowers saying they were sorry. Made me feel even smaller. Well, for a while until they called and said my home was cold. Which granted there are times this house is really cold, but please do your job (which that is not part of their job) and do not tell me how to live. I felt as if it were an invasion of my space. After explaining a few things (in a nice manner) it was understood. This is why I have a problem with agencies......

It was just one thing after another. I really hope this coming week is smoother
