I'm Around

I know I'm slacking again.

Well since my last post here's what's been going on:

• Three weeks ago I learned that my grandmother (on dad's side) passed away. I wanted to travel to Barbados for the funeral but it wasn't financially possible at the time. My mum, my sister and my dad went. Apparently there was lots of family drama, enough drama to make my sister come home a week early.
• Last week I turned 26. I don't really feel any different. I wasn't really that excited about my birthday this year. I don't know if it was the news about my gran, or that my family wasn't here. But I had a good day anyway. Got taken out to dinner on Saturday night so it was cool.
  
• Got a pay rise at work. Definitely happy about that, especially in this economic climate. The extra money will definitely come in handy. I think my boss is finally starting to realise how valuable I am to this establishment.
  
• Meems' tantrums are still outrageous, but I think she is starting to realise that it's not getting her anywhere. Yesterday she threw a fit because she couldn't call her dad on the phone. He was driving at the time so I told her she couldn't call him at that moment and would have to wait. She started to cry and scream. Did I mention we were at the train station on our way to school? She cried and carried on for the whole 15 minute train ride. Then when we were walking to her school, she turns around and asks me if I'm her friend. I told her no because she was rude to me. She started sulking. Got to school her teachers asked why she looked so sad. She told them that she was rude to me and upset me. So when I was leaving she comes out and gives me a hug and apologises. I couldn't really be mad at her after that.
