merry christmas and i'm glad it went okay. it is a big thing not to fall into "usual habits" so yay you. i'm trying too- take a step back.
our christmas eve and day went very nicely- like old times. (well, you know- within any reasonable parameters). had some surprise company at last minute- so that kept things (conversation) interesting- all in all nice.
h is sick as a dog now with fever and the whole thing. where he got it- who knwos. i'm not offering alot or hand-holding (which- according to him in life irritates him more than not).
he's relocated to where i am a few times- something new- i'm up here now while he languishes on couch downstairs. it's kind of my nature to offer - i'm fightng it.
that's about it- my mother is the good ole object of my annoyment at the moment- oh well. i'm civil and kind- i'm just "not in the mood" today. did my holiday duty & then some- so feel "off the hook". have chatted with her this morning alrady- will try and avoid the phone- and enjoy the non-pressure of a "holiday over".
sad isn't it- maybe that's age- when it's nicer to enjoy the day after than the day before.
i was cu4iously not nuts yesterday. h helped cook ALOT - which was mighty nice and a bit unusual= i'll take it. i was wierdly removed from it all- after run in w/ mom in the morning- she's soooo ungracxious and unyeilding- .anyway- he pitched rite in and it went nicely.
soooo- my big report. your crowd sounds like fun - i really really like it (and miss the fl gang) having young couples around- the youthful slant is soooo much nicer than the same old over and over and over "junk" older people lug around
i mean- same old grudges (in my fam) anyway- no more- with everything else i may end up being called upon to toss out of my life- i'm tossing that. don't know exactly how- maybe non-family guests at every family dinner- might be the key.
im going for it- first res0lution of new year.
glad you're sounding good - good luck with your own resolution )(of sorts) (well, me too) learning to live alone if am going to have to-
it's a new year coming- i'm thinking today we can do this- i know i say it all the time- but it's true. one way or the other- we will and we'll previal. it'll be okay
