It seems that every time my sister comes home, my life gets more difficult. The free space in the house gets severely shrunk since she fills her room with crap and takes over the downstairs tv room. Why she leave her computer, her lights, and her tv on while she watches cartoons downstairs and I get yelled at for leaving my fan on, I'll never know. There's this level of favortisim that she gets, which gets denied continually. She doesn't do chores and I get more chores thrown at me. We also have 5 cars to figure out parking spots for. Yet I get in trouble for yelling at her for taking the only spot I can park in and not have to get someone to play car shuffle at 7 in the morning. God forbid we block her car from going out when she has several friends that could just pick her up with their own car. If her car is blocked in then it's would probably be my car that gets handed to her, which isn't good since I need to bring my car in for an oil change and I have no time to do it. Finger Lakes trip to see the caterer this weekend and then Florida next week. I also need my car to get to and from work. I could take Wednesday off to drop my car off and get it taken care of, but my dad is entirely against it. With the sister at home, I can't stay back from work and say that I left early.
The shit with my car is getting annoying though. I have to get it taken for an oil change, so I don't want to use it too much until I can get this done. The AC is also iffy and I don't have power windows, which means my car is sauna if nobody is in the car to open the other windows. I've explained all this to my family and it seems to stick for about five minutes. After that I have to explain it again. Last night was a pain too. Tracy took my car to meet up with some friends and I asked that she at least put in 5 bucks for gas. I was running a little late today, so I get in my car and suddenly realize that no gas has been added. I'm at the level where I really don't want to be stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Five bucks was all I wanted and instead she comes home to play with incense and tarot cards. This is also the night she claimed we would go to sleep early. Didn't happen since I tried and she started ranting about this actor on Lost World. Let's see here: Sleep or actor that not many people know about? She's already barely conscious when she gets home from work, so why would you get less sleep? I could be a real ass and wake her up an hour early when I get up and moving. Might end up making that threat tonight if she starts with the idiocy again. I say idiocy because nobody with a 9-5 job should be more concerned with television than with getting enough sleep to not crash on the way to work.
