Tonight was party time at Lucky Uncle's

[cornerofmadness]

but first we spent the afternoon with my brother in the hospital. He has decided morphine is good stuff (indeed) and that he rather liked the versed too (when they were putting him under the Scooby Doo mystery van drove up and got him and didn't he remember anything until the recovery room) He's feeling better today, joking around a bit. Though him and his wife are like an Abbott and Costello routine. She was trying to help him into the bathroom and managed to tug the catheter and slam his head into the door. (this is why she's resp. therapy and not a nurse).

Later he gets up for another attempt at #2 and asks me is there still duoderm on his ass. No John, just bandage gum matted fur and a huge bare spot. guess you know what a wax job feels like now. then he starts calling me from the bathroom. Moose (I'm not sure my family knows my real name any more), get in here. What? Wipe my ass. Did you forget? I'm the doctor. I'll go call a nurse for that. So yeah, he's feeling better.

Lucky Uncle had a stock pot filled with mulled wine, shrimp the size of my fingers and a kringle that was out of this world. Why did I have to come home?

Here's three days of catch up pictures





mom's tree. note the 70's flooring and paneled wall (now painted which i hate)





I love Victorian village houses...





The living room and original entrance to the house. this is over 100 years old. this is where my great grandfather, and my grandma's brother and sister were laid out when the flu took them all. Where the bed is, is normally the couch (which is along the wall where you can't see it) where the wall pooches out was a fireplace (now a big fat asbestos hole that's luckily walled the hell up) These walls btw are made of rubble under wire under plaster. you ain't hanging pictures in here

Clicks to your eggs.

Glad J is feeling better.

Hnn! Syfy is playing Friday the 13th: The Series.

The tree and houses look nice; the house looks...strange.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

now he has a fever and probably isn't coming home

thanks

hmmm that show didn't age well

it IS strange

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

He's getting the care he needs. Yes?

No, no, it hasn't.

I'm suuuuure. There have been weird sounds in my house all morning.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes but there is a fear of septicemia with bowel surgery

weird

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That makes sense.

Yeah. I was standing in the kitchen at the sink and something was clattering around behind me.

My fingers are crossed for your bro

And I was wondering if maybe the cats haven't scared off the ghosts.

Glad to hear that your brother is doing well enough to be a pain in the ass. That's always a good sign.

Love you!

So glad your brother seems to be doing better.

Lovely pics!!

Oh, I hope they get the fever under control. Poor guy doesn't need an infection on top of everything else.

Cute tree and village.

Don't worry about any asbestos. As long as you don't disturb it and get particles flying around, it won't bother you.

I'm glad your brother is doing alright! Very interesting to see your setup for Christmas! My mom has one of those light-up houses too! Nice to see a little village of them. ^^

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

So glad your brother is doing better.

I love the village and the tree. And huge shrimp - yummy!

[ishte.livejournal.com]

Glad to know he's doing better.

I love those little victorian houses too. I have a dozen of them but haven't really figured out a good way to display them here yet.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Maybe the cats will wear out the ghosts. ;-P

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yay?

Yeaaaaah.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Good yay, then. XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. he's home now

or hopefully vice versa the ghosts are quieter

[jojo-kun.livejournal.com]

You can always count on mom to come through with a ton of Christmas decorations! XD That's awesome! I love seeing houses all decked out for the Holidays.

Yeah, my place is devoid of Holiday decorations too, except for my cards. I wanted a tree, but it didn't really happen. :\ Oh well!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i almost bought a tree today but really with an empty house it's not really worth it

i do up Halloween instead

[jojo-kun.livejournal.com]

are you back home now? Your card is going to your mom's house!

I hear you about the tree. I really do want one, but now there's no point!

I love Halloween. That's another one we never have decorations for! I am decorationless. My decorations are my LJ icons. XDDD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm still in PA.

yeah as long as I'm single and working away from the family in this job, they're going to expect me to pop over here for most of my break

hahaha most of my halloween ones went in the trash this year. i need to get new ones
