Got The Virgin Suicides, but mom decided not to go see The Grinch ("if I had known you weren't going to the movies with me, I'd have gone to a matinee"), so now she is watching Providence (*shudder*) and we are not watching the movie that was rented. She's also moving my stuff around, mocking my exasperation, and generally pissing me off.
I was so much happier living alone.
It's not that she doesnt do things I appreciate - she does, and I do - it's that she does too many little irritating things and doesn't treat me like another adult living in the house. It's the old "you OWE me respect just because I plopped you out" argument, but I don't feel that I owe her anything she's not willing to give. She's unable to share space with me and constantly trying to dictate things... pretty much everything. How I do dishes, how I do laundry, how I organize my things in the bathroom. She has a desperate need to control and it's part of her anger/rage thing. And it drives me crazy. I don't think she should be messing with my stuff at all, or criticizing the way I do things. & if I say anything contradicting these things, or dare to disagree, she starts a tirade of yelling and namecalling, or mocks me, or otherwise leaps into a highly aggressive position.
I took a shower, and it helped with some of the lethargy but nothing else.
I guess since my evening plans have been shot, I'll just do things on my to-do list. Rah.
