Today was the explosion I knew was coming--I tell my mom about my plans for the next 23 days, and she whines about the time I'm not spending with family. As much as I've already tried to plan around how she'll want to monopolize me, I still get the guilt trip. I've already got my hands full with the impending transition to life and work in another country, thanks.
I'm already sucked dry of energy after a three-day outing with the family to humor her and I am in no mood to deal with the friends my sister is having over for hours today. I JUST WANT TO LOCK MYSELF IN MY ROOM AND WATCH KUNG FU AND READ, THANKS. I do want to have fun with friends before I leave, but it's hard to do that when I need a little introvert time to myself first and I'm getting guilt-tripped about not spending every waking moment with my parents and siblings. Let's not forget the predeparture tasks I am and am not ready to perform.
And I just got a email from the guy I got a job for, and he's asking if I have any free time. HELL NO, DUDE, BUT THANKS FOR BRINGING ME SOME LONGJING TEA.
*sulks* I'm trying to keep things simple this month, but as soon as I hear the "WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO WHAT DO YOU WANT TO PRACTICE COOKING I CAN TAKE YOU ON THOSE ERRANDS I WANT TO GO GIFT SHOPPING WITH YOU SO YOU CAN TAKE ALL OF COLORADO WITH YOU" I get overwhelmed. I knew I was going to be a little overwhelmed this month, but I can do that just fine without my mom's help.
Ungh... do not want to be social today... it's too hot to go be social for four hours in the blazing hot backyard... I NEED AN EMOTIONAL RETREAT BEFORE I TACKLE EVERYTHING AND HAVE AN AWESOME MONTH.
