Surviving the holidays day 2

cornerofmadnessAnd I have at least 2 more to go. I finished opening gifts from friends (thank yous should go out tomorrow) and lazed about watching Homicide Hunter (call it research for surviving the holidays) until my cousins and Lucky Uncle and his wife got here.
Lucky Uncle was worried about me because I'm pale and one eye is horribly bloodshot. I thought I might have pink eye but it's not all pus filled. Who knows. At least SOMEONE cared I'm not well. My cousin's kids were there. Her son really likes me because I'm the only one in the family that's like him (reader, geek) and his sister was there. She has ...no personality really and neither does her boyfriend who she'll probably marry him. He's just like her dad, something of a deadbeat. She's already dropped out of school (in part for him, in part because of her dad). They tend bar owned by one of the Pittsburgh Penguins and yeah the tips are fantastic and they get to meet all sorts of athletes but they don't seem to grasp they won't be 20 forever. Soon they'll be too old to make the athletes and the elite clients happy and will be replaced but they don't see it. And they spend money like it's manufactured in their basement (Jeep Wranglers, 2,500$ rottweilier....)
Anyhow I digress. Most people were on their best behavior. The boy cousin fixed my tablet. It was a memory leak not a virus. Good to know (I have no idea what that means so I read up on it).
The Steelers won so bonus.
I also thought the Dr. Who Christmas special was fun.
Tomorrow I have to put up with Prejudice Girl and Hateful Husband. And again on Tuesday. I'm trying to get out of here on Tuesday. Tomorrow is dinner at Lucky Uncle where those two are invited. Sigh.
And then I learned George Michaels died. WTF 2016 (and I'm wondering if it was an OD or suicide).
