why do i even bother

so. today.

i wake up at like, 3pm. yeah i slept all day, whatev. figure i'd call dad and see if he can swing by a mcd's and nab a snivy. (well i just told him 'green pokemon toy' because i doubt he'd remember a name nor would the workers know it by name)

blah blah life goes on as normal

dad comes home with a ton of stuff 'cause he wants to cook out
mmmm chicken breast fillets...

i go and hang out with him while he cooks 'cause it's not fair to leave him outside alone making food for everyone, you know? jeanie comes by randomly, walking her dog or whatever, and we're civil to each other
then everything's cooked, everything put up, i help dad move the grill back to the front of the house. he's pulling it along, says he doesn't need my help until it's closer to the house front
jeanie comes out and stares. i'm following dad, she bursts out 'help him!' and i tell her he said he didn't need my help yet
she freaks out and goes back inside, slamming doors and saying she's going to sleep
(she hasn't ate yet. :/)
dad's like wtf??? and i'm like wtf???
anyway we get the grill put up and locked up and go inside

dad got some alcoholic thing he wanted to try mixing with ice cream for me to taste. bailey's irish cream

welp we mixed it with vanilla ice cream w/a little chocolate syrup and whipped cream
and put it in a cup
whoa
idk if it just had a bit too much irish cream, or i just don't like the taste of alcohol at all :/ i drank it all but it was kiiiinda ew.

oh right
dad found out this morning that it's jeanie's birthday and forgot about it by the time he got off work, then suddenly remembers once he got home. so we zoom down to the little grocery and grab some little debby cakes and a small pack of birthday candles (this happens before cooking out)

well i had pissed her off somehow so i told dad to just leave me out of the surprise so she'd actually, you know, enjoy it. but stubborn idiot is like NOOOO you helped pick stuff
/sigh

so i finish eating and come back down, we go and set up a plate with a circle of zebra cakes and two brownies in the middle. it looked awesome cute! dad sticks the candles in, suggests i make a bowl of ice cream to go with it. we're all prepared and--i turn the corner going to the stairs, running right into jeanie coming down. i back up and dad realizes she's here so he tells her what we're doing
and she just. turns. us. down.
just. nope. nope. doesn't want anything to do with it.

yeah okay she's pissed at me but at least don't be such a bitch to my dad?!
she gets something out of the fridge and goes back upstairs

...........

so dad gets pissy, and of course i'm annoyed that she didn't accept anything we did?

i eat the ice cream because otherwise it'd just melt. and now i'm here just... uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
