"State Dinner"

Hello Everyone:

A very quiet few days for me. I've mostly spent the last few days chilling out at home, not doing a whole lot. Mom made me laugh (internally) a short while ago. Remember I mentioned something about being invited to sis's house for lunch today. I ended up not going partly because I got a late start to the day and partly because I didn't want to. Mom acted like I blew off a state dinner invitation. She even told me that they waited a half hour for me. What a silly thing. You would by my non-responsiveness to the invitation, they'd get the idea I was not coming at all. It wasn't like it was that important to me. These meal invitations never are that important.  Mom even went as far as to say that sis will never invite me over again. Good. I really don't like being there anyway nor do I like them over my house. They just suck all the life from the place. Also, I have really nothing to say to anyone. I usually don't have much to say to family. Actually, it's more like I don't want to say much to family about anything unless it's something important. Even that I have to be careful about because mom will through shade on it. She does that all the time. So much so, that I just don't bother sharing any real information with her anymore. Of course, I get accused of withholding information but I have my reasons. I still can't believe mom treats every invitation from them like a summons from the palace. I don't feel any real need to go running over there every time they call. Please, I do have a little more dignity than that.
