Hot Cocoa on Chilly Nights

So it's kinda chilly out still and supposed to get colder. So I'm imbibing of a little drink I like to call Shananigans. It's extra chocolatey hot chocolate and a spalsh of Creme de Menthe with a swirl of whipped cream on top. The reason I came up with this is that I can't seem to find any hot chocolate mix that has mint flavoring in it. Or if it does basically tastes like hot minty water with very little chocolate. So shortly after I turned 21 I purchased some of the aforementioned alcohol and used it in my hot chocolate. And sure enough it turned out really good!

Anyway I'm just blabbing at the moment, not much going on in regards to my self image or anything. Mostly I've been to busy to really concentrate on that. And midterms are coming up fast.

Family, I love them 1200 miles away.

So my Great Uncle passed away this week so I'm here in Indiana for his funeral and wake. Today was the wake, or viewing hours as it's sometimes called. Anyway I believe I've also mentioned that my sister has PCOS, not to the same degree as I have it but she has it. Anyway we get done with the wake today and have dinner and get back to the hotel. Mom needs to check her email so she uses my computer. Well since my computer's on I take the chance to check my email and drop a few messenger lines to a couple friends and my boyfriend asking them some questions. And I spend a few minutes asking one of them who was one a question or two. Well the minute my mother is out of the room (I'm sharing the room with said sister) my sister starts whining about how late it is and how she just can't possibly sleep while any lights are on. And well I tell her to wait a minute or two and I'll get off. But she continues to bitch and bitch and bitch. Then she calls mom (as my computer is shutting down and she can see it doing so) and says, "Isn't it bedtime?" and she has this whole thing with mom about it. And by that point my computer is shut down and the lid is closed. She continues to bitch and moan while I'm taking my pills and then right after I shut out the light in the bathroom and come out into the main room to find my pj's she shuts off the light that's on. Leaving me in the dark. So I go turn on the bathroom light again to

Now 5 seconds before she was fine to wait, but then she just starts telling me how late it is and how it's bed time everywhere else, basically has a complete moodswing. Well for a long time now I've known about her moodswings. You do one little tiny thing and it sets her off making her scream and shout and basically go ballistic. Which in turn sets me off. She she calls me a cranky ass or a bitch. When in reality she is the one having the mood swing and setting off my temper with her attitude. I'm tired of it, she's convinced that I'm the one with all the mood swings and that I'm cranky when in reality if she wouldn't be such a bitchy piece of shit I wouldn't get set off. On top of this my Great Uncle died, I'm not exactly on the best emotional footing as it is.

So yeah I love my family, when they're 1200 miles away. I don't have to deal with them in their daily shit and I don't have to hear them gripe about every little thing that doesn't suit them.
