Happy To Blog

Hello Everyone:

Back to the same old same old today.  I'm actually happy about that because I was going a little stir crazy yesterday.  In retrospect, I probably should've gone somewhere and blogged but it was to hot and humid to move.  Not that today or the next couple of days will be any better weather-wise.  To make matters worse, I've had this dull sinus headache.  I can't wait for it to get much cooler.  Anyway, I was really grateful to get out of the house because mum was driving me up a tree, again.  The constant pestering and chatter is just too much.  I usually ignore it.  The problem is that mum doesn't understand is that I'm not interested in idle chatter all the time.  Most of the time I just want to be left alone.  The problem is typical one for people, she's uncomfortable with silence.  Silence can be a good thing because it allows me to focus on whatever I'm doing at the moment.  Another problem is that she just carries on about herself, never interested in anything I do.  When she does ask about me, I feel like it's just a courtesy.  Mum wants to show just how concerned she is about me.  Truthfully, I'm not always sure she's genuinely interested in my life.  If she does take an interest, it's only to fix what she thinks is wrong.   I can't really talk to mum about anything because I waste so much time and energy repeating myself that it's just not worth the effort.  I don't even talk to mum about the Brit BF for two reasons: I know how she feels about him and she just doesn't get the attraction.  Whatever.  Anyway, I'm ready for dinner.
