Fuming about my sorry excuse

By the time I got down to my room, I was mad. I slammed my bedroom door and flopped down on the bed, and after fuming about my sorry excuse for a grandfather for a while, I shoved the newspaper in the bottom drawer of my desk. Like I needed to know any more about Juli Baker.

What's the meaning of the underlined part?

You are misreading collocations again, Dela. fuming about = being quietly angry about my sorry excuse for a grandfather = my grandfather whom I do not think is a very good grandfather.
