Being Sick Sucks!
Hey All,
So I think I posted earlier, closer to the end of school that I was sick then, with almost bronchitus and a really bad cough. Well I went on meds for that, got a chest x-ray that showed no penomnia (spelling I know is wrong) and the doc said it was just seasonal allergies, so he put me on meds for that. Well, I was fine for all of like 3 days before I came down with a massive full blown head cold. UGH! Wednesday I woke up and was all stuffed up, oozing goo, and just generally feeling like complete shit. So I took the day off from the grade ones and stayed home to rest. (I am pretty sure that it was either one of the rugrats from school or one of the little ankle biters from work that gave me this thing!) By Wednesday night I needed out of the house cause I was going stir crazy. So my friend, who also has a cold and I dragged our sick asses out to the mall and went shopping. I got a shrug and some nice sandles! Thursday I woke up and felt no better, so I took the day off again and pretty much slept. Thursday night I went to work. I know I should have called someone in for me, but I hate calling people the day of for a shift when I ask for at least 2 days notice if I am taking one. So I went in and felt like crap. Thankfully I only have to teach 3 of my own classes and I got out of my guard shift. Everyone, including my supervisor was like, you should go home. Today I feel a little better, due to meds that actually work, but still not 100%, so another day off for me. My stupid brother is home today, a random day off from co-op work. My dad is on day shift, so its just me and the egotistical brat, so we'll see if I don't kill him by the end of the day. He's already bugging me by being all prissy and saying that I have no excuse to be home. So if he makes a comment like that again, especially after hearing me hack up a lung coughing, I think I will go breathe on him and share the illness, see how he deals with it. My brother is such an ass most of the time. But what else can you expect from a 17 year old? He thinks the whole bloody world revolves around him and what he doesn't like or what doesn't relate to him doesn't matter. When he is wrong, and he knows it, he refuses to listen and resorts to the stupid grade three tactic of "lalalala I can't hear you" method of tuning people out. I honestly have no idea how his girlfriend puts up with him. Considering he talks down to me all the time, treats me and my mom like shit some of the time and really doesn't listen to my father, I don't know who puts up with him. He is so self involved its not funny. Sometimes I just want to smack him! And driving with him is involves praying for your life. Not only does he not like to hold on to the steering wheel when he's on a straight away, he talks on his cell phone while driving and even dials! He thinks he's a good driver, but already has a speeding ticket under his belt. I wonder if he'll pass his G with these bad habits. Living with my brother is difficult because of his attitude towards others. He is intolerant to things that he doesn't like, for example my music. While he can play his drums, which even the neighbours can hear, he gets angry when my door is open and he can faintly hear my Celtic or Broadway musical soundtracks down the hall. His typical response is "I can't take this crap! Why are you listening to it? It's so horrible!" This is an example of when I want to smack him. And his tone when he says this is so condescending. At which point he slams my door and tells me to turn my crap down. Well to bad cause I just can't tune out your drumming! He makes me so mad! I wonder if he'll ever mature and make me want to spend time with him. I know he is my family, my brother and that I should be good to him, but he makes liking him difficult when he shows little or no respect for me. It makes living away from home for 8 months of the year nice. Sometimes I wonder what it would have been like to be an only child or to have a sister instead of him. Maybe one day he will no longer be the egotistical, intolerant asshole he is now. I hope that one day talking to him won't be like talking to a brick wall, cause right now, you get more from a brick wall then him. And its not like my parents have much control over him, cause he tunes them out, and does what he wants in the long run. I really hope that he treats his friends and girlfriend better than he treats me or his family. Cause if I find out he talks to his gf the same way he talks to me, I will tell her to dump him for her own good, cause she doesn't deserve that.
Anyways, enough depressing ramblings. Just needed to get that off my chest. If I stay away from him the day will go fine. Maybe he'll go out.
Well I think I will go hop in a quick shower.
Byes,
