It's getting very frustrating dealing with my family.  They're just so hostile to each other, and when I try to tell them that, they get pissed and/or defensive.  Like Mom was accusing Melina of putting the mixer somewhere and Melina walked in the room and Mom asks her what she did with it and Melina gets all pissed off and then she finds it in the ( Read more... )

I'm really stressed out today.  I just flush mom's toilet and it squirts water out of the top and makes this endlessly filling noise even though the bowl isn't getting full.  I was crying because I couldn't figure it out and I knew Mom was just going to be like "It's okay, this thing just keeps getting loose" and not show me what the hell she's ( Read more... )

So, my mom's surgery went okay.
And I just saw that Brian Eno's main picture on last.fm is him typing on a little typewriter and I totally squee'd out loud.
Yeah.  I'd show you, but my internet doesn't want to load last.fm at the moment.  :(
Not that you care.
Anyway.  It's going to be fun taking care of Mom with her one handed-ness.  You should've ( Read more... )

Things:

• Wilbur pissed on my futon yesterday.  Whilst sitting right next to me.  Cocky bastard.  Both my blankets need to be washed, and my pillows are destroyed, and I need a new futon.  I've needed a new frame for a while, but now I need a new mattress.  Mom is all "Send me a link and I'll get one for you" which means "Show me the cheapest one on ( Read more... )

I don't understand how my family can deprive me of sleep and expect me to be happy all the time (because clearly, any show of emotion other than happiness will get me a "What's wrong with YOU?").  It's not like I'm just going to spring up and make small talk after their loud cooking and doing dishes and… small talk.  I feel like an unwelcome ( Read more... )

So.  My mom has a prepaid credit card, right?  And she left it the bank's ATM.  And since she's not a member of that bank, they destroyed the card, and now we have no way to get her check.  That's $502. She called the company and got a replacement card, but that's going to take 7 to 10 business days.  She's really upset, but I don't really see why ( Read more... )

So, an update on the room redecorating.  Did I ever say we were redecorating?  Well, if I didn't, we are.
I finally got my stupid closet door off.  It was all broken because my mom seemed to think it was a good idea to keep hanging a billion coats on it on one of over the top hook thingies even though she broke two other doors that way.  It never ( Read more... )

I did sooo much stuff yesterday.  It's nice getting things done, but, really, I'm tired still.
We (as in my mom, mostly) sawed apart the couch and everything.  I mostly just cut up the cushions and such.  It's in a dangerous pile next to the trash can; it's really quite a lovely decoration.
Speaking of decorations by trash cans, Melina and I found ( Read more... )
