Though I didn't leave the house today except to walk around briefly, drama seems to just arrive on the doorstep here.
I slept late because I was plain old exhausted last night, then ate late breakfast and played on the computer for a while, until my oldest brother and his crew showed up for the day. I then showered and dressed, going to the front to hang with them.
I admit it, at one point my brother got on my nerves and I just lost it. I am sketchy at best anyways these days, and he has this bad habit of taking teasing too far with me. It annoys me even worse when he tries to get his daughters to do it. He and my other brother know I don't like it, and that makes it worse. So usually I ignore it, but I just wasn't up for it at the moment. So I lost it. I didn't scream, I didn't yell (i only raise my voice during football games and concerts) but I did lose my rag a bit and stormed off. Of course later, while I am in the front room, he comes in and starts trying to analyze me. WHATEVER. He's bad as fuck about that. I just told him I didn't want to deal, that I have those moments and that was that. Though we were talking again when he left, for about and hour or so, it was frosty between us. No skin offa my nose- it's happened before. We have a six year age difference, so it happens a lot.
After they went back to Jackson, we just watched some tube and folded clothes before another friend of the family came by. They stayed for a while and were getting ready to leave when he heard a terrible sreech and thud outside. We all got up and went to the door. I didn't have on shoes, so I stayed inside. It turns out that one of my grandfather's calves (a pretty black one I saw while walking eariler that day) was struck and killed by a pick-up truck. Since it was my granddad's property, he's liable (this is Mississippi folks- I don't make the rules, I just report them) cause the guy's truck is jacked up in the front for real. But still.... the poor thing. At least it didn't suffer long.
I didn't go to see it. I wouldn't've been able to sleep tonight. Or a few nights afterwards. I am funny like that.
The family compant stayed for a while longer, then left and we all got ready for bed. I am actually gonna go read for a bit and then crash out. I am kinda tired and the allergy meds I take knock me out. I'll have to write the *other* yearly family drama post later.
PS:
sakusaku and
