So, its 3 AM, and what does my grandmother want? A sandwich.
Sure, I was up till 3- but, I was getting ready for bed. She asked for a grilled baloney and cheese sandwich. I made it for her, then had to stay up while she ate so I could get the plate to the sink. Had the sandwich done by 3:15, she finished eating at 3:32. Took the plate, then went to bed- had to get up a minute later to bring the barking dogs back inside. Back in bed a little before 3:45.
What happened this morning? She woke me up at 7:28 to put the chicken in the fridge. Between then and 9:48, she got me up 3 more times. To find her coin purse, to pick a blanket up off the floor, and to close the front door after her counselor left. By then, she decided that she wanted me to stay up- and I had to point out that thanks to her calling me (To do things that were not urgent and didn't need to be done), I'd gotten less than 4 hours of sleep. I'm getting annoyed having to tell her so many times that once she wakes me up, it takes me hours to fall back to sleep- but I never manage to because by then, my mind is awake, so I'm focusing on everything I hear. Typically, when people are over or when she's awake, its not that quiet in the house. In other words, no sleep for me. So even though I spent the next 3 and a half hours lying in bed, I wasn't asleep- and I keep having to remind her that. I also have to remind her that I'm not feeling sick because I'm up till 3 in the morning on the computer. I'm sick because my stomach isn't moving the food into its next destination- so when I go to sleep, I'm sleeping with a full stomach. In other words, food sits in my stomach all night, so I wake up feeling like crap. Then I don't want to get up in the morning because I feel like I'm going to vomit- I'm honestly surprised I haven't tried shoving my fingers down my throat to just get it over with.
Then, when she forced me to get up and stay up- I had to have the entire conversation with her AGAIN because she's only remembering what she wants to of our conversations. Then I wound up starting to cry because she's pushing for me to: go to college, when I don't have grants or scholarships and I REFUSE to go unless everything can be paid for. If I or anyone has to take out a loan, or pay back money for me to go, then college can just take a hike because I am NOT going to spend the rest of my life trying to pay it off, especially if I only want to go for 1 or 2 classes.
Then she brought up going to an eye doctor, and going to the dentist- because she THINKS I need glasses and my teeth looked at. I had fun telling her that I already knew I had 5 cavities at least, from a dentist appointment I went to 3 years ago- they were never fixed, because my mother never got it taken care of. As for glasses, I've been told I need them, but I don't want them. I see fine- I just cant read certain sized text at a certain distance. I don't mind going to the dentist as long as they knock me out to do what they'll need to do- because I've gone through enough horror in the past at that place. As for getting glasses- if they get them, I will NOT wear them. I've already made her well aware of that.

As for other things, still stressed. My grandmother has a knack for calling me early in the morning to do small things that don't need to be done right then and there, and she's very IMPATIENT with me in the morning about getting up. I can't go a half hour without her getting me to do something, and I'm starting to contemplate setting up a list of things I will not do if she wakes me up to do them. One example being picking a blanket up off the floor. I also need to set a time for her to just leave me alone, because as things are going, I'm starting to contemplate keeping my earphones in all day so I don't hear unless she screams for me- then EVERYONE'S going to get pissed off.
She's already starting to complain about my getting upset about appointments getting set up- but anyone would get pissed off if an appointment was getting set up and you weren't given any warning about it needing set in the first place.
