My sister and I are constantly having issues; she believes in passing for perfect and I believe in living day by day…
Today is a rainy and windy day and I have no public transportation or bike to go to my elderly mother’s house (point A - 20 kms away) and taking a cab comes out too expensive. I asked my sister if she was bringing her son to his usual lift spot (point B), which is fairly close to my house, and it turns out that my oldest nephew is bringing him there (point B). Since he has to return to point A, I asked my nephew if he would give me a lift back to point A.
Immediately my sister comes on the phone and says “Why don’t you have your daughter pick you up and you can spend the day with our mother”. In order not to start an argument, I said, “talk to you later” and terminated the call.
My daughter also lives in point A, is married and works full time having only the W/E for her family matters. She would have to come here purposely to pick me up, that’s why I was asking my nephew for a lift…
I normally go to my mother’s by bike or bus, but this W/E I was not available for the last bus route(on Saturday) and my bike is still at my mother’s due to last week’s bad weather (it’s been rainy & windy for a while).
I know that I should get my own car, but I’m very nearsighted and am scared stiff to run someone over – besides the planet is so badly polluted that everyone should take and give lifts whenever possible!
So, if anyone wishes to give me some enlightenment, please feel free!
