Six O'clock and all... well, the house isn't burning down.
Today's been. Just been.
I haven't been feeling well, I've had a head cold, which makes it difficult to breathe, which makes it difficult to sleep. So, I get achey and sluggish, and have little-to-no motivation. Gene and I were up later than the others last night, each working on the computer in the basement. I could normally sleep from 12 until 6 or 7 with no trouble, but I was asleep when Mom came gto get me up at 8. What this all boils down to is that mom is upset that we're 'sleeping all day,' and i get the inpression that she thinks Gene and I are trying to withdrawl from the family or something.
And you know, I don't really appreciate that, the thought that I would be trying to remove myself for some unknown reason... The fact of the matter is that I'm twenty years old, and I've been living on my own for nearing four years. I'm not accustomed to having someone deciding when I should get up or go to bed, and...
Anyways, I didn't do much today. Tried starting the Harry Potter books, but I didn't get very far before falling asleep. I may try getting back to it after dinner. We cleaned a little bit, which I really don't mind, except in as much as it's implied that I don't do anything around the house anyways.
The Internet's been quiet, too. No emails, few LJ posts, fewwer comments. All in all, very uneventful.
I'm not angry with my mom, just frustrated by the implications and such, compounded by my cold (which given a little more sleep may be gone soon). Anyways, dinner's almost ready.

On the part about withdrawling from the family
