cornerofmadnessMy brother and his wife came for the holiday (as they go to her family on Christmas day). After some initial crap, it went well. He had his remicade for the CHron's the day before so he didn't feel well and my sugar was over 300 so I felt like hell too. DInner is at 5. They show up a noon and mom and I chorused 'you're here already?' He got pissed. We didn't care but damn if you're going to show up 6 hours early maybe a warning is in order.
I didn't like a lot of the topics of conversation (aging, selling the house, not wanting to be saddled with the parents' house and I'm honestly doing very poorly with those topics).
It was better when we played games. Dad refused to play them and went to play on the computer (If I had done that I'd never have heard the end of it).
Dinner was very good. The prime rib was primo, rib in. gnawed the bone like a caveman.
I mixed up a sangria of hard cider, pinot grigot and caramel vodka.
I got what I wanted a good camera capable of being rugged. I want to do more than a cell phone can handle so now I have a huge book to read to learn to use it.
Got lots of reading materials and R2D2 measuring cups and brain slices coasters. And more I can't remember right now.
Mass was nice too.
For the last day of Advent have some of my favorite carols by some favored performers
