Yeah, my grandmother said she felt like my roommate was calling her just to stir things up. My roommate said she was calling to tell her to have a good time on her trip (my grandmother is leaving on a trip next week) and to tell her that 'no matter what happens' she would stay in touch.
"No matter what happens" Ha.
Did I mention the iron thing? She's been leaving the iron plugged in after using it in the morning. The iron sits on the headboard/hutch of the guest bed, which is in the same room that most of the cat's things are in. I rarely, if ever, use the iron. So, last weekend, I heard something fall, and kitty had knocked the iron over onto the floor. It landed on the button and turned on. Yes, it's an automatic shut off, but in the time that it got hot and landed on the floor, it could still start a fire. Fortunately, I was home. I left her a note about it and I'm going to check when I get home whether she is actually unplugging the iron. The last time I said anything about fire in our apartment, her response was "Well, I have renter's insurance." My answer to that: I don't care about my STUFF, I care about my DOGS. And if something happens to my dogs as a result of her negligence, she might better go into hiding, b/c I would go absolutely wacko-crazy.
I'm assuming she's been unplugging the iron this week. I'll find out for sure when I get home. And it's just plain sad that I feel I have to second-guess everything when it comes to her.
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!
