Venting. Basically.
Jul. 22nd, 2004 06:33 pmOh, dear gods. Everyone has had one of those days during which we just want to abandon ship and crawl away, right? Well, this is certainly it.
It's averaging 30. Hot. Sunny. Humid. Basically, you either want a pool or air conditioning. But, since I am (as always) at my parent's place, I get neither - I cleaned all day. All. Day. Dammit. And dealing with my brother and sister, who were hot, cranky, and fighting. And dealing with my father, who was basically acting like a spoiled brat. ('Fix lunch!' 'You didn't put enough salt!' Vacuum the kitchen floor before lunch!' ...dogs trek dirt in over freshly cleaned floor... 'clean the floor again!' - can anyone see why I'm about to bite?) In addition, the fan in my room is broken, I forgot the book I was reading at work, and everyone ate the supper I fixed, not leaving any for me.
There. Venting done.
I've also got internet again, as you can all see. Which means that I can actually talk to people now! While it's low-speed, and thus the approximate speed of a limping slug, it's still internet. And thus, I am pleased. I should be catching up on my reading soon, and e-mailing everyone who has written me. Although, given that I've nearly a hundred e-mails to catch up on, a bit of patience is much appreciated.
Right now, however, everyone else has gone to my brother's soccer game. And so, I'm going to go swim in the (quiet!) pool, read a (quiet!) book, and have supper (quietly!). And if anything disturbs me, I will bite.
