Tuesday, Tuesday

5:55 Got home from work, after making a stop at Shoe Carnival to get a new pair of everyday
tennis shoes, only to be told (not asked) by Visiting Cousin to take him out across town to a
battery store so he could pay out the ass for a new battery for his ancient cell phone. Did I
forget to mention that the store closes at 7:00?

6:10 After swallowing whole what I believe to have been ham, green beans, and corn, I
get in the car with Visiting Relative and direct him out to the battery store.

6:35 Visiting Cousin pays $40 for a battery for his ancient phone, even after much "discussion"
from me about how he could get a new phone probably for free.

6:50 Visiting Cousin realizes that his car charger is not working. I was almost ready to just
jump out of the car.

7:15 Make an impromptu visit to WalMart, where Visiting Cousin pays $36 for a new wall
charger anda new car charger for his ancient cell phone. Once again, I repeat that the
Rents' phone is newer than his.

7:25 Visiting Cousin finally wrestles the car chager out of the very secure packaging and plugs it
into the cigarette lighter in his car, and is happy that it is now charging the new battery on
his ancient cell phone.
