nwhikerBut it's three goods, one bad, one ugly.
The bad. My aunt is being a spoiled princess and driving everyone nuts. She was so rude to the people at the nail salon that she made Linnea cry. She isn't normally a rude or unkind person so I suspect we're seeing her brand of dementia coming through. She, for some reason, poked around with her spoon in my slop bucket, then used the spoon to try and grab a slice of sugared and cornstarched peach that I was using for a galette, and got annoyed when I was upset that she got coffee and tea in the peaches. And annoyed Perry who is trying to do a 1min erg test. And ate all the crust on the galette I made before anyone got a slice. And. And. And. So it's been a bit rough. Also. My mom is being particularly bitchy today as well.
The ugly. I have a 33-page review article to read over vacation. However, the reason for this is good #1.
The good.
#1. I have an interview on Tuesday morning. The job would be super interesting and I'd have to seriously consider a 90 minute commute and making less than Perry, LOL. That's been my baseline, but this job's top pay, which I probably wouldn't get, is what Perry makes.
#2. My sister is awesome. It's so nice to have a good relationship with a sibling, and I feel very very lucky.
#3. A good moment with my aunt. Anne-Chloe was here, and aunt was talking about her planned death. It was a bit of a rough conversation, and then it moved to stuff she had that some of us might want. Anne-Chloe told her, absolutely spontaneously, that if she still had the books she used to read her (The Giraffe, the Pelly, and Me and The Paperbag Princess), she'd take those and she talked about her memories of aunt reading them to her, and how she'd loved those sessions. Aunt doesn't think she still has the books, but she was completely moved by the fact that Anne-Chloe remembered that and cherished those memories. I'll add that I had always felt that Anne-Chloe felt close to aunt, and aunt telling me over the past few years that she didn't think she had a "connection" with AC and that hurt a bit, because I had always felt she did. So.
