Walking With a Ghost

kazariAkane stopped by a few days ago to marathon the few episodes of Supernatural she hadn't seen yet. We were up until 5AM. It tired me out so severely I lost a day. I just... slept. And, learned nothing makes me feel more guilty than sleeping all day when I'm unemployed.
Both of my parents' have been sick all week. And pissy. And, my mother isn't happy that she turned 59 on Monday. I've been tip-toeing around a bit. All this has meant that the momentum that existed to finish my little room renovations and get everything just plain done...is gone. Paint has been applied and touched up. Carpet is in. I have a new bedding set and replacements for the glass shades on the ceiling fan's light fixtures (that I didn't even think I needed). But, the windows and, most importantly, the broken book shelves just sit there teasing me and my impotence when it comes to progress.
...I'm like a ghost around here...
I can't transport myself as I have no car and no licence. I stay inside, away from the cold almost all the time. I have no job and no money, so no fiscal power. I don't/can't cook when the master chefs (my parents) are around. I'm just spending my time trying to stay out from underfoot and it's a little unnerving. This is what it's like to haunt a house, eh?
I'll tell you one thing this out-of-school/unemployed thing is good for: Keeping up with my email. I finish almost every day with nothing in my inbox and never let it get above more than a handful of unanswered messages.
Tomorrow I'm starting a mission. I've been watching lots of Style TV's Clean House and really want to get the ball rolling on getting my parents to get rid of their crap. They hate the house the way it is. But, they aren't willing to do anything about it. Let's see if I can get that to change...
