It has been just a week since my vacation started. Our academic year started late that's why it also ended quite late. Anyway, it's fine because it's already rainy and I'm thankful that I won't be going to our campus during these rainy days. I really don't like the cold and damp season so it's a blessing for me that I got to stay inside our house for these days. However, even though I'm in our house, I'm still not free of stressors—human stressors and the greatest among them is my sister.
Supposedly I'm going to share a different content today, but something or someone got in my way. We had a pretty bad squabble this morning and it really left me in a bad mood for almost the rest of the day. I thought that people in school were just the ones who could annoy the hell out of me, but it turns out my sister does it better. It wasn't an extraordinary morning, it was like the usual morning—but she messed it up. It started first with her and my younger brother petty teasing until they got serious and of 'course it's my brother that cried at the end. She's definitely good at pissing people off, so it was no surprise that my younger lost to their verbal fight.
I thought she was done with it for today, but it turns out I'm mistaken. Our little feud started when I asked her if she could wash the dishes for today since Mother asked me to wash our socks. I thought she'd have no problem with that because she was doing nothing important that time, but her annoying side acted up. She refused because she reasoned out that she was the one who washed the dishes yesterday. I tried to reason with her, yet it seems she wants to be a sloth for today and that's when I started to get really pissed. Our argument lasted for almost half an hour, and it was far from a sensible one. It only stopped when I cut her off, returned her insults for the last time and started doing my chores.
She got silent after that, and I, on the other hand, didn't. I sang and sang until my throat was sore. I wanted her to have a wonderful lazing time, so I continued my singing for almost hours. I knew it was petty, but what could I do, but get back to her that way? She just stayed silent even after I finished my first chore and proceeded to the second one. It seems she enjoyed her lazing time with all her webtoon and bl stuff while I am working nonstop because even if it's our vacation month I still have a schedule I need to abide by. I want my vacay to be productive so I really plot a daily schedule or to-do list I need to accomplish each day but her insensitivity somehow ruined mine today.
But I can't forever hate her, not with us living under the same roof, so before afternoon ended, she tried to talk to me like nothing happened. At first, I gave her the silent treatment but when she rambled about the webtoon we both like I couldn't resist but to jam in. After that, everything was back to normal and we even ate together with the noodle she cooked. I hope we won't repeat that squabble, but knowing me and her, I doubt it because sisters can be the best among your best friends but they also can be the most annoying foe you could ask for. And what happened today is just a mediocre fight—it's not even close to the worst one we had. However, I hope it won't happen that often for it's emotionally draining and I'm not that resilient against those.
