Well, my birthday came and passed. My mom woke me up around nine thirty and thrust my gift upon me. It was a Timex watch my dad picked out. So much for getting the watch I was looking at. It isn’t like he hasn’t done the same thing before when I was looking at pocket watches two years before. Still, ’tis convenient. After that I rose and took a shower since my mom intended to take me out for lunch later.
Lunch was at a German restaurant at the shopping town we go to. I love their hot potato salad despite the fact that they make it a bit too sweet for me. Dad and Mom have different types of soup. It was good. After that we headed home.
Dad decided to stop by the grocery store when we entered town again, however. I didn’t have my wallet on me, but I usually ring up to twenty bucks if I spend right. We shopped, got, loaded and unpacked. I took out a twenty I had stashed away and gave it to my mom since Dad refused it. Peh.
My mom later asked me to go do some errands with her. We stopped at Hallmark to get this year’s ornament. I offered to pay for it. It was around nineteen bucks. I got one out of sheer love over its cat theme and my mom needed some cards. Simply put, it cost more than I thought it would. Oh well… ’tis the season to go broke.
We then stopped by the pet store to get kitty litter and a few other things. It was maybe a quarter ’til four then and my mom stopped by her church. It was something about most confessions happening on that day and Easter. I waited in the car for her about thirty minutes. I feel awkward in churches in truth. Well, Mom returned at four twenty and we left for home. She discussed about different sins… I don’t recall the terms, but how cursing, white lies, giving half truths and such are things people must confess to. I was surprised really.
Well, we came home. Around four-thirty I fell asleep since I only had three hours of sleep the night before. I woke up again around eight thirty I think and left my room around nine thirty. I think I saw my mom before she went to bed and I did some chores.
The rest of the night, I do not know what I did. I might have read, watched something, drawn or what not. I went back to bed maybe around three or four in the morning and did not get up again until maybe one or two Sunday. I don’t remember what I really did other than maybe chores and hiding out in my room with only the computer screen as my light. Yeah, I felt very hermit-like Sunday.
Dinner time came. My parents had onion soup; my brother had baked chicken and potatoes. I had tortellini. Heh, what a mess. There were many dishes to clean that night. I think the night ended watching TV and then cleaning said dishes before retreating to my room.
Monday… I really don’t remember a lick of it. I did chores and what else, I do not now.
Tuesday is clearer. I woke around nine, cleaned, talked to the mailman despite I was not dressed for standing outside for so long, took a shower, did more chores, ate breakfast, read and dosed. I got up, read some more, dosed again later and then saw my parents when they came home. My sister called while my mom was in the bathroom, so I answered, chatted with her… she somehow lost fifty bucks in what I think was tip money. Other than that her life was as usual from what I could tell. My mom finally comes out and I hand her the phone.
My mom had an appointment to see Cindy again, but before she left she asked me to get her Christmas present for my dad for her. She is tight on money at the moment. So, she shows me the site, she picks out the sweaters and while she leaves to get ready I find the cost in all is about eighty-six bucks… Sigh. Well, as said, ’tis the season to go broke. So, I bought them and before my mom escapes I tell her the price. She was surprised. Heh. I told her I might as well say it was from me then. Heh. She said that it was to be from her so she’d pay me back. I argued that it was the gift giving year and all that junk. Ah… little mock fights… how fun.
After that, I ate my second meal of the day, fiddled with my computer and was called away to watch TV with my mom. After that I headed to my room, surf the net a bit and wrote a short story. Now I am here typing this.
I suppose this will be posted tonight. It is pretty long. Other than that, I’ll be seeing my psychiatrist this Friday. A week from now will be Christmas Eve, then will come Christmas day. My sister will come down the twenty sixth, stay the night and go to a football game with my mom and brother. My eldest brother will come down after she leaves and stay for a time length I do not know.
Blah.
