I need an attitude adjustment
Well, here I am again b*tching about my neighbor lady. She continues to drive me bonkers. :head_hurts: Refer back to May 5, 2005."more grace needed" blog entry.
She doesn't drive, is widowed since 1998. Never learned to speak English very well, she's a war bride from Korea(I think she's tongue tied) She seems to be trying to control my and my husbands life...having him/me drive her to doctor appointments, to her church, to a miriad of things every day. It seems she can't get her errands narrowed down to one day a week and to get all she needs at one time. She 'needs' to go to the grocery store about every day for one thing or another.
My husband 'jumps' at her command to take her somewhere. She's always phoning or coming to over to our house to
ask a favor. We have caller ID and when I see that it's her calling, I answer, "What do you need, Helen?" realize she has no-one, no children, only her late husband's family. They've told us she's constantly calling them to help her with errands, or whatever.
Recently, she's made friends with another neighbor and has been asking her to give her rides. Poor Joyce, her husband is in the military and gone on duty,so she assists Helen.
She irritates the cr*p out of me. I can't express myself to convey how annoying she is.
On one hand I realize how lonely she is and helpless now that Clyde is gone. But, she just doesn't get it how she interferes with our lives.
Anyway that's my gripe, and I realize I need an attitude adjustment. Thank you for spending a few minutes to read this tripe.
