Today *le sigh* 2/2
So I was dragged out of bed at 7 am, after sleeping like 3 hours. I've been sleeping less and less lately. I dunno. It's Tuesday, Laundry/Grocery day. Yay! /sarcasm. I've had the Minutes to Midnight Album from Linkin Park in my head for a couple of days so I decided to take my iPod with me today. I haven't used it in a long time. Apparently my father was already in a bad mood because we were running late (his boyfriend decided to go into work late throwing the schedule off).
So he apparently asks me in the car if I needed to go into the store before we go to the laundry mat. MY brother knocks my shoulder to tell me this since my headphones cancel anything but what I'm listening to. I tried replying to him that I could get his rent money out so he could use some for the wash and he of course is pissed at me for not being able to hear him and decides to act 4 and not respond to me cause he "can't hear me". So he pulls into the store I run in to buy breakfast for us (milk and doughnuts, healthy I know!) I step into the selfcheckout/express lane and groan. Our stores been packed as of late what with peoples food stamps being paid and thanksgiving around the corner-which I now hate thanksgiving because of this. So I can just imagine I’m going to get bitched out for taking too long.
For some reason they only had two of the four machines up and running (one that is broken and accepts cash and one that doesn't) so the lines backed up. Finally after forever I get to the machine and start scanning my order, go to put in my phone number because for once I've forgotten my discount card, and the stupid machines touch screen isn't aligned correctly. Typing the 3 button presses the cancel button next to it, the 0 presses the delete number button, the 9 the enter key. So after pissing around with it and using like the side of my nail to the left of the numbers hoping to press the ones I want I get it in and I swipe my debit card, pay and stupidly hit no cash back. So I have to struggle through all that crap again and buy another freaking drink to get his cash, all while people are waiting and he's called me to bitch me out.
I get in the car and he starts bitching me out again about how we're even later now. I go to hand him some money from his rent to put in his pocket for the wash and he tells me he didn't need it. So we get in a fight about had he told me that instead of being a 4yr old we wouldn't have wasted that time there. We get to the laundry mat and it’s busy so he gets pissier. We put our clothes in the washers and I was still half asleep and angry at him for being a jerk to me when I’ve done nothing wrong and he starts getting pissed because apparently Tyler and I were in his way and unlike I dunno a human being and saying it he stands there and finally gets pissed off enough to like do his little snarl thing and walk through us. That then flames my temper because why the heck can't he treat us like humans and tell us we're in the way not just stand there and then explode at us,
so I walk away, over to the sitting area, to avoid another blow up of our tempers. I get out my milk and doughnut and start to just calm down. He comes over and I offer him the food I got him and he snottily tells me he doesn't want my food. When I ask him if it’s because he's mad at me he says yes. Here we go! I then remark ok john! When his boyfriend gets pissy he decides he's just going to starve himself. He then threatens me that if I ever call him that again he'll leave my laundry here and I can walk home and that I won't have a home to go to (oh yes his favorite thing to tell me). I'm constantly 3 seconds from sleeping on the street. I then respond with "why the fuck can't you just act like a human then instead of just standing there thinking we're psychic." To which he replies "we need to learn to use our fucking brains." I lose it there. Ask for the car keys because I'm not staying in there and helping him if he's going to be an asshole. He tells me no. So I say fuck you and walk out anyways.
I spent 20 minutes standing at the car doing Sudoku until he sends Tyler out to "put the soap in the car" and let me in it. So I spend 10 minutes venting to my brother before deciding to go in the car instead of back inside like he's asking me to. I pull out my iPod hook it to the cars radio and chill out to more LP. He again comes out and asks me to go in. Finally ready I go to turn the ignition on to put the windows up and the car wont turn over. Apparently what no one told me was the battery had died yesterday and they had trouble starting it this morning. So the little bit of battery I used with my iPod drained it. Lucky enough someone jumped us and we drove to the AutoZone 6 blocks down, had to replace the battery, Bye-bye $102.00. Dad then decided to just go home and put the laundry away before going shopping since the car was full anyway.
The store is completely packed when we get there. Tyler and I go and shop ourselves and we check out the same time as my dad does. I pick the fastest cashier (since I work there I know the slow ones) jump in his line and realize the woman’s got a billion things ahead of me. Whatever he'll move the line fast. He scans her quickly and then they go to pay and apparently her food stamp card didn't have enough, I hate that when the come to the line. OK PEOPLE LISTEN: CHECK YOUR DAMN MONEY/BALANCE BEFORE YOU FILL YOUR DAMN CART! I get it how people don't understand this. When I shop I keep the total in my head as I add items. So they had to spend 15 minutes fighting over how to pay the other 200 plus dollars. I can't leave the line now because the lines have already backed up into the isles and I’m third in line. By this time my dads checking out. Finally we get up there and out the door.
While we unpack the car he decides to turn our roomba on to have it sweep the floor. I go in my room to put something in it to find that he did not turn the invisible wall that cards Ojo's training pads.
And of course she had pooped on them and peed while we were gone and the stupid robot ran over it and got tangled in it all. It pisses me off because I'm the one that has to clean the robot and the mess, no one else will. I was sweaty and hot and tired and there I was cleaning it all up. And he just got madder and me for being mad that he turned it on when everyone else was too busy taking care of stuff while he pissed around on his computer. /sigh
Maybe tomorrow will be better?
God I hope so.
