Taking A Break When A Break Shouldn't Be Taken

So I am back from the stay at my aunt's house. Times were fine there, although I was a bit upset by the fact that I was near a computer with a high speed internet connection for four days, and yet I was severely restricted around it. For some reason that is completely unknown to me, everyone in my family believes that I routinely break computers. They believe that if I am left unattended on a computer owned by one of them for more than a few minutes that I will have uploaded several programs and viruseseses and their computer will be a smoking heap within a week. I have no idea why they think these things and it is endlessly frustrating when your family arbitrarily doesn't trust you like that.

So by the second day, I was finally allowed to check my email. But wouldn't you know it - my mom and aunt hovered around in the room until I was finished. Once, maybe the third time I checked, they did leave the room for about 45 seconds, as they were getting bored because I had several emails to respond to. However, immediately upon their return, the first thing my mom said to me was "You haven't been adding anything to that computer, are you? Betty says that your uncle will havea fit if you make anything go wrong with it."

I don't know how I kept my temper as well as I did. I believe I just responded in a very angry tone and she suggested that I need not "get snippy" at her.

The rest of the time spent there was relatively nice, however. I hadn't ever visited that house before, so it was new to me. I liked it.

I brought with me one of the paintings that I need to get finished this week, but I am a champ and forgot my paintbrushes. So I had to borrow substandard ones that didn't fit my needs, so I didn't work on it very much.

I really should be working on it now, but I decided that I should blog for you all since the others are still being pretty slack about it.

I think we might have to set fire to xv bones. Blogging isn't so difficult. He needs to get his shit together and just write something in there.
