Day 6

This morning I woke up to my alarm clock. I was surprised that my grandmother didn’t wake me up to help her sign in to her email. I headed to the computer room but found her in the kitchen crying. I swear my heart stopped for a few seconds. I immediately thought something terrible must have happened. When I asked what happened she replied that she couldn’t get on to her email. For a second I was taken aback. By the way she was crying, I was expecting her to say that there was a death in the family. Instead she was upset because she locked herself out of her email. I assured her that everything was fine and I would fix it. I had no school so I had the whole day to figure out what the issue was. I thought it would take me a little bit to figure out what was wrong but it only took a minute. The problem turned out to be that she put a period after com in her email. Such a small thing made such a big issue. My grandmother was relieved that I got back into her email but upset because there were still no new messages. Since she didn’t have to work today she was able to check her email on her own, and check she did. Every hour she went on email to see if she had any messages about Sweetie. Her efforts were for nothing; another day passed with no updates on the situation of adopting Sweetie.
