I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before, but Mom's family has a family letter they send round to keep everybody up-to-date. I don't participate because of the favoritism issue in the family, I don't want to pretend it--favoritism--doesn't exist. I guess I'm doing my own silent protest. Nobody notices of course, I'm still livin' at home so I'm clumped in with the rest here. My aunt who puts out the letter called and asked if we could email our contribution to her today cause they were sending them out by noon. Mom and Dad were gone of course, so that left me, who has sent our portion before to do it.
Well, having explained why I don't reply in it I ignored Aubree's order to type it. First, I was doing extraction (putting names onto a disk for people who do their genealogy) for zee ward so I was "on the clock" so to speak. Secondly, I don't type fast enough to have whipped out a Mom-approved letter that I could have emailed to them. Thirdly, and I know I sound petty and small but...I simply didn't want to. Part of it is I'm afraid I'd make a remark that Mom would look askance at because she didn't appreciate my wit or whatnot.
So, I've kept me own company today and tried to keep out of people's way. It's so easy when your sister holes up with friends in her room with Buffy, and you have a brother who, after that brief display of temper, went back to being a tv zombie and you have your own room where you can take refuge in books and music and the net.
Oh btw, I finally won a game of that easy card game I was playing last night. I guess it wanted to prove me wrong.
Btw, again, I almost forgot. I am grateful for a time to officially give thanks.
