Sad face - I missed a day in NJM!
Well, all I can really say about yesterday was that I was soooooo ready to GTFO of my parents’ place. 24 hours is enough - even with two having their first Thanksgiving EVER…in their lives!
I actually had a great time and left before I was super annoyed, but yeah. My brother is SO LOUD and it irritates my mother - and probably irritates me even more. Actually, I know it irritates me more because I can’t stand to be around him for more than 5 minutes.
Sure, I’m very sensitive to it for whatever reason, but DAMN, the dude has Aspergers or something and just can’t even fathom how exceptionally LOUD he is. Like, his normal talking voice is YELLLLLIINNGG! I can’t tell you how many times I asked him not to yell in 24 hours. Seriously.
But I will also say that his daughter is exceptionally cute. And yes, she’s also very loud, though she is a baby and babies are allowed to be loud. I do think she’ll grow up to be a loud adult, though, if my brother has anything to do with it.
Anyway, I got through all of Thanksgiving lunch, walks, talks, dinner and fun with the family. Went to bed fairly early, got up yesterday to do a little bit of work, got through a late morning afterwards, and at lunch - with my brother being a loudmouth the whole time - I had to say I was done and leaving.
I’m sure they all think I’m a bitch, and maybe I am. Maybe it’s because I’ve now been single for so long and can’t really handle anybody else’s idiosyncrasies, but I’ll be damned if I sit there and “hang out” longer and just stew.
I did enjoy my SIL so much and I did love the time I spent with the rest of the family - I want to like my brother so much and I try…but I guess I need to try harder.
WOW. I didn’t mean to go off on that tangent about my brother…guess I needed to get that out.
Also, on Thanksgiving night I dropped my phone - just a super light tap on the floor and the screen was shattered. I’d dropped it probably 20 times before, so this time surprised me. So after I left my parents’ place I ran some errands and then went to check in at the Apple store just to see if I could make an appointment.
Turns out, they could help me right away. Also turns out that even though I have Apple care, I’d dropped my phone, had water damage and had done too many other things to my phone(s) that I’d need to spend the maximum…like $165 or something to have the screen replaced.
I ended up getting the iPhone X instead.
So I’ve been playing with my damn phone ever since I’ve gotten it.
I also decorated the apartment today for Christmas (love, love, love to decorate during this time of year) and got some other shit done.
Now, it’s time to call it another day. I still have some cleaning and laundry to do tonight.
Tomorrow, I’m going to get up early, work out, go into the office (yes, I know it’s Sunday), get a head start on my report that I have to present on Tuesday and then take the afternoon off. It’s going to be GORGEOUS and I want to hang out in the beautiful sunshine. Maybe brunch. And then my neighbor is having a birthday celebration in the evening… more fun.
See? I’m not a bitter bitch ALL the time, now am I?
Love you guys!
