* I had sausage for lunch today. It was good. ^.^
* I still need to figure out how to configure them, but my GC controller adapter and GC controller came in. It is not impossible to play GC games on a keyboard, but it can be a bit clunky.
* I ordered some Hershey chocolate hearts for Valentine's Day. They should get here on the 13th, but if they get delayed just a day, it will be fine. ^-^
* In AC:GC, I got the lovely vanity. From Apollo at that. <333
* And now on to something I have been meaning to get off my chest since last weekend, though I wanted to hear back from my mom first. She finally texted me back. From what she texted me, she was in a bad mood because she had been sick (which I wasn't aware of until today).
I do not want to call anyone out specifically; I get that they were probably just trying to help me figure out what the issue was last weekend, but some people suggested that I should have given a more thought-out response to my mom. Even if she does try to bond with me about something, I may have been too young to remember, so I may not always have anything to say back.
I just do not always know what to say to her. I get it. She loves and misses me. I tell her all the time that I love and miss her too. Her and I are on opposite sides of the "social spectrum", if you will. I struggle to start and maintain conversations, whereas she is high-maintenance and extroverted. Even if I do try to communicate with her, she has been known to complain that I do not talk to/text her, when I pretty much wait on her.
I rather not get into it too much, as this is supposed to be a positive thread, but she has caused me some distress over the years. I am not saying she is all bad. She can be wonderful! Hell, there are times where we do have meaningful conversations over the phone. However, I feel like she can be extremely ignorant and insensitive when it comes to certain things about me. Particularly, she has been ignorant about my sensory issues, social impairment issues, and the fact that I do not like to be far from my comfort zone for a long period of time. The latter goes under my burning hatred for long road trips, but I do not want to go off on a tangent here.
Point is, it's not like I am ignoring her or being rude to her. Giving a simple response is better than those two things, but considering what I have stated above, it can be emotionally draining to communicate with her on a regular basis.
Anyway, I apologize if that turn into a vent in a thread that is meant to be positive. I just wanted to shed some light on the matter, so you guys can get a better understanding of my side of the situation. Please take what I have shared with you into consideration. ^^
