So, I knew staying in a small place with my parents was going to be a hassle. It's bad enough at home, but at home it's a bit easier. Here it's impossible. One bedroom, one bathroom, and me and Kaz, having to sleep out in the living room. There's one pull out bed. The bed is big enough for two. The logical thing would be for us to sleep in that bed. We're adults. We're not doing anything "naughty", not with my parents on the other side of the door. We already spent a week alone together in a place, so why is it now that we're sharing a place with them, we are suddenly reduced to irresponsible children? They put this blow up bed on the floor for Kaz. And I felt bad about him having to sleep on the floor. On a squishy blow up bed. I offered to sleep there instead, but he said he would. At least we're in the same room. But I like to snuggle. Snuggling isn't sex. And it was freezing cold. I must have woke up two or three times that night freezing. Kaz was freezing too. Finally he'd had enough of it and just got in bed with me. After that I was able to sleep because it was warm. But of course something had to wake me up again. A light came on in the bathroom and woke me up, and my dad was standing there for what must have been a full thirty seconds staring at us. So I figure he's standing there thinking I'm some horrible slut or something, when we were simply trying to stay warm. I pretended to be asleep, I don't think he knows I saw him. When he finally went away I made Kaz get up and get in the other bed again. At least they'd see us where we were supposed to be in the morning and maybe not mention it. It's so stupid because at the condo we were in the bed. Even though I put a sheet on the couch to make them think Kaz was sleeping there. I'm actually amazed that actually worked. My mom instantly believed it because she said in private to me that she saw I was making him sleep on the couch. Well, what did she want me to do? If she didn't care where he slept, she shouldn't have acted like she did before. I just played along and said yeah. Here's the thing about my mom. She can't make up her mind about things and she contradicts herself when it comes to this sort of stuff. She doesn't want to talk to me about it and says all this stuff is up to me since I'm an adult. But at the same time she'll say things and it's like... What the hell? Like saying I shouldn't make him wait until we're married before we have sex because it's not nice to do that to him. But then saying people who aren't married shouldn't sleep in the same bed. Of course she says these things at two different times. And she said them a long time ago. And what's funny is, I've done the exact opposite. We haven't quite had sex yet, but I see nothing wrong with going to sleep snuggling. That seems a lot less wrong, if someone were to feel that any of it was wrong. But whatever, I'm going off on stupid crap here that doesn't matter because it's not their business anyway. And this is also where the day gets interesting as well. Well anyway, it was early morning now, and for the rest of the morning I kept waking up again because I was cold. Amazing how snuggling made such a huge difference. I finally pretty much gave up on sleeping because it was just too damn cold. So I was lying there awake for a long time. But I guess after about an hour or so, I was so tired I fell asleep again. The next time I woke up, it was to screaming. So of course I'm wondering what is going on, but I'm so tired I can barely move. I mean who wouldn't be tired as hell after waking up at least five or six times by now, worrying about who was sleeping where, and all the crap we went through during the night, just trying to sleep. So even though I was aware that someone was screaming and it must be my mom, I couldn't get myself up right away. I finally did, and Kaz got up as well, and I look, and the front door is wide open, and my mom is on her back on the ground. And then I get to witness my dad running out there to rescue her and him falling on his butt as well. It was epic. I mean I seriously thought it was funny, even though I really was concerned for my mom. She may piss me off with her stupid contridictions, but I don't want her to get hurt. But man, seeing both of them on the ground like that was pretty funny. I know my mom is a clutz but my dad should have known better. So what had happened was, my mom had the bright idea of walking outside in flipflops. There was ice on the wooden walkway and she immediately slipped and fell in it, because, well, that's my mom for you. But then my dad ran out there, I think in bedroom slippers, and fell as well. He was able to get up and finally help my mom up. And my mom has a hurt back already, so of course this made it even worse. So now she was hurt and pissed and blaming the condo place for not having warning signs. Really this makes me think of those stupid people who sue because their drink is too hot and there's no warning and stuff like that. She called the manager guy and he came over and talked to her, and then a cop came and talked to her, and the manager gave her some coupon for this resteraunt, the one we had eaten at yesterday and had been so frickin slow. Finally they left and my mom was still angry and going on about it and whatever. Me and Kaz mostly just did whatever. After a while I was hungry. So Kaz went to microwave some soup for me and the directions said to put it on high and the microwave wouldn't go on high when he pressed it or something. So my mom asked what was wrong and he said he was trying to make the power level over nine thousand. We'd just been recently watching stuff on Youtube with that meme along with some other weird stuff like the balls are inert. We've been watching a lot of funny stuff on the internet lately. So anyways, Kaz messes around with it some more, and finally my mom says, "What does it say about it's power level?" Keep in mind my mom has no idea about the nine thousand thing and has never seen it or heard about it. She just happened to word it that way, most likely because Kaz called it a power level. She didn't know what he was talking about when he said nine thousand. Anyway, I couldn't believe she had just said that and set herself up in such a perfect way. So of course I had to say, "It's over nine thousand!" And I imitated the way he says it too, and then after I said it I started giggiling, because I found the entire thing hilarious, and Kaz was laughing as well, and my mom just looked at me with this look her face I can't even describe, and said, "You would laugh at me when I'm hurt?" XD And I just kept laughing, I couldn't help it, the situation was just so darn funny. Talking about it here does not do it justice. It's almost one of those things you had to be there yourself and see and hear. Honestly it's too bad I don't have a recording of it or something. So yeah, I told my mom I wasn't laughing at her, but there really was no way to explain the nine thousand thing to her and why what she said was so funny. Maybe sometime I should show her the thing, but I still don't think she'd get it, because you kinda have to be on the internet where these fads are floating around to really appreciate them. At least I think so. So anyway, Kaz finally was able to make the soup, I don't really even know what happened with the microwave's "power level" after that but I ate my soup and then we were bored and I wanted to get online but my stupid computer won't get online from the condo even though Kaz's will. I hate this stupid piece of crap wireless card or whatever it is that causes this. So my dad took us to the main building where they were supposed to have internet but it still only works on Kaz's computer and not on mine. That made no sense at all but I finally gave up on it and we ended up at this little coffee shop place that had wireless. We got hot chocolate and got online for a while. Then they said they were closing. It was only early afternoon. It's a good thing my parents happened to get there right about then or I don't know where we would have gone. So we went back with them, and were going to eat at this place by the ski slope we usually eat at when we ski, when they actually have the slope open, and that place was closed too. Everywhere we went was closed, which is ridiculous when it's still early in the afternoon and not even dinner time yet. I guess they used New Year's Eve as an excuse to close everything because we couldn't find anywhere and we didn't have any food. I think that's pretty shitty though, for every single place to close early like that. Yeah people deserve their holidays but isn't New Year's Day the real holiday? Are they going to close early then too? We ended up eating at the grocery store, of all places. It was the only place open, and they had tables where you could eat. Which is pretty weird. The whole idea of eating in a grocery store is just wierd. But anyway, my grandparents came in there also and then we ended up shopping for pizzas and crap and then finally we left. Later we came to my grandparents hotel so we could get online again. Jake was there asleep because he had to wake up early for his flight. Later we're all going back over to the condo for New Year's.
