(no subject)

dchenesI let my hair down, more or less, when I’m the only kid home in Noank. I’m fairly seriously buzzed right now because I’ve been here with my sister since yesterday and had lunch at my favorite aunt’s house with my least favorite aunt today. So an hour ago I poured myself a fairly stiff G&T and it just hit me. At least my feet aren’t cold anymore.
I find it difficult to be in Noank with my sister. This time I brought my chorus CDs from the last two concerts, because Mom asked me to, and one had been on for five minutes before it got turned down so my sister could explain her pictures from her latest adventure in Zion National Park for the next half hour. I slept in the twin bed last night and she got the queen bed because I wasn’t willing to argue about it. Now I’m the only kid home, and I can stop thinking about everything I say lest she disapprove of the subject (football, and anything political at all), and heaven forbid I say “spite move” meaning “move away from the weather” because then I get a lecture about how it means “move your kids away from your ex”. Now I get to watch football and eat clam dip for dinner and stop thinking at least twice about anything I want to say.
