More art from my Phone, and Venting about a Road Trip
Was waiting in line at Snow BQQ in like Lexington, TX so I doodled this pic up to pass the time. Not the best picture. Was a long weekend, and like most vacations pretty stressful.

Everyone on the trip had a stressful time with the tight schedule, and rushing about cause a bossy aunt was in charge. And the other aunt commenting that I stink and my clothes smell as well. I guess it might be a musky smell or something since she likened it to 'Chinese herbal medicine'. I took a shower and put on clean cloths, not much more I could do about it.
Thought we're where going to leave at the crack of dawn or before to get on the road to the state capital for the weekend, so we arrived at the aunts place late the night before. Course the aunt leaves at like 9am or so and wants to do the 200ish mile drive in time to get to the other side of Austin by like noon, leaving us no time to enjoy the rest stops. Rush rush rush. Hurries us out of a rest stop and complains to us to stop deciding which size fountain soda would be best to fit in the car. Shes like its a '10 cents difference just pick one we got to go.'... she spends more time in the next rest stop talking to a lady and picking out what creamer to use in the coffee.
Get up early and getting back to the other aunts place before dark... personally I rather stay in Austin longer to enjoy the sights but the first aunt is like got to get back early to rest since its a thirty minute drive up a mountain/hill side road.
Dragged us to a concert then doesn't hangout with us... and forces us to leave like in the middle of one of the last 3 songs of the show. Says we have leave and get to the place in time so aunt two could do some errands... is like 2 more minutes or so to at least enjoy to the end of the current song really going to make a difference when its stores stay open till 10 pm and the concert runs only from 7 to 9?
Aunt one also complained about a 12 pack of soda my mother carted along with us as well as other foods we have. We're buying her a tank of gas, gas mileage inst going to be an issue... and its just the weekend a 12 pack isn't going to ruin the suspension or shit and she got 3 hats in the car taking up more space that she just leaves in the backseat.
Anyway... back in the home town after the road trip..
Asked to go to a Target this week to pick up a one of the like dollar felt carrots or something, cause I saw that mother had picked up a like a felt cabbage or lettuce. Mother suggested I go in the morning at about 10 am. Catching up on my sleep and what not the rest of the day.
9 pm that night shes going all crazy worrying about the comment that I smell... and that I need to cut my hair cause it has to be what smells and what not. I washed my hair better than I normally do, and had my jackets washed, and aunt two still commented that I have that smell... even after totally showering. So its not my hair.
Well... I don't want to cut my hair at 9 pm at night while I'm not fully recovered from the trip. So being not recovered or awake... make a few snappish remarks that I'll cut my hair as short as she does... and well even shave it if she does as well. I also tell her that I don't have to go with her tomorrow if shes worry about all my aunts trying to sniff me cause maybe aunt two would tell the others that I 'smell'... three and four... and the uncle honestly wouldn't care... well maybe the uncle but I think he'd be polite enough not to get involve or comment.
So yeah... I suggest I don't need to go tomorrow. And well for some reason she decides she had enough of me, and that 'since I don't want to do anything. I can go to my room. I don't need to eat dinner with the family. I don't need to go with her to target and the bank tomorrow... or well go out with her ever again cause I just don't exist and she's done with me. We're not talking.' etc.
She still not being reasonable at 10 am in the morning and I don't think she'll be now at reasonable at 5 pm in the afternoon.
I think she’s taking the stresses of the vacation and dealing with aunt one out on me, also probably her other reasonable request of taking ‘the McD’s coffee outside and pouring it into the travel mug so she can get a refill’. Then then after I refused she tried to take a drink of the coffee and the lid popped off spilling coffee on her. She blamed that on me too. She thinks it’s reasonable that I do bad things to benefit her. Maybe also going out to entertain the dog and coming back kind of covered with fresh pollen from the backyard and making her sneeze some.
Guess I’ll be staying out of her way while recovering from the road trip.
Probably not the best place for the vent… but its as good as any I feel. and its related to the art.
