I haven’t been feeling well this week. 😦 The temperature fluctuations tend to do this to me. Over the weekend, it went from the 80’s to the 50’s. The temperature difference in the classrooms doesn’t help either. So I have chills, headache, and my dizziness.
Yet I don’t tell anyone. No one will believe me plus I don’t have insurance. I don’t even bother talking to mom anymore because her temper had been at its worst ever since my aunt and cousin came to town. Yesterday, after enduring 2 hours of exam and not eating lunch, I went home straight to fighting. Frankly, my throat is coarse and tired.
What did we fought about? Two days ago, she had asked my aunt to re-park her new car and my aunt backed the car into the pole that held the basketball basket. She did what my boss did last November to my car. She turned the wheel in the wrong direction. So naturally, she blamed me for not stopping my aunt. Can you believe that? If I’d known that, I would have re-parked the damn car myself.
Then last night, after she found out how I did on my exam (I stupidly blurted out), she wouldn’t leave me alone and the fight went on for 90 minutes (storming into my room and interrupting me doing homework and all that). It’s so freaking annoying. I feel like the fights are going to go on and on probably until one of us dies or move out.
The other thing that is annoying me at the moment is ever since my aunt and cousin moved in, they’ve been eating, eating, and more eating. It feels like that’s all my cousin think about is food. In less than a month, they have eaten the amount of food that would normally take me and my mom two months to eat. I’m serious and I mean just my aunt and cousin. It doesn’t include me and my mom.
My cousin eats like there’s no tomorrow, like everything is free. Well, nothing is free. There’s no free lunch. He cooks three dishes for lunch and eat most of it himself and then 30 minutes later, snack and then 2 hours later, three or four dishes again, dinner and the cycle continues. Okay, I am at awe here because I have never seen a 17-year-old with such a large appetite. And the thing is, he doesn’t gain weight. Okay, now there’s something wrong with that kid.
Okay, my 10-minutes is up. I don’t really need prompt today but they are part of the fun for my day.
I’ve been super busy with school this week. If you leave a comment, I may not reply right away. Be patient, I will try to get to you as soon as I can find the time to sit.

Sounds like you need some me time. Maybe you can go stay with a friend for a couple of days, get away and catch your breath? I hope things improve for you.

You’re so right. I did need some me time. I went for a three drive this afternoon and felt a bit better. I just wish I can do it every day. Unfortunately I don’t have friends to stay with.

What I want to know: 1)What’s the status on your braces? Did you get them fixed?; 2)How DID you do on your exam? No judgments here!

1. I had my braces for over 4 years now. At first my orthodontist refused to take them off because he needed me to do surgery first. However, my mom managed to convince him this August. He is still quite reluctant but today, he told me once again that it was close and maybe next time. Yes, I got it fixed, by the way, thanks for asking. He swapped the old wire for new stainless steel wire so it wont’ pop out.
2. On my exam, I thought I did okay but for mom, okay is bad. For her, okay mean good (90% maybe).
