...still working on the peace thing. With myself would be a good start.
~~~
Did not feel particularly or at all like Xmas this morning. Toured out to the farm throught the rain, attempted to make some games work on my niece's computer by upgrading the RAM, generally put up with expected stress caused by hyped-up sub-5s. Lunch, at which I managed not to overeat for a change. Presents, which nephew slept through despite his sister's encouragement, after which she remained far more interested in getting his open than playing with her own.
Received a package to my surprise (as my present was taken care of a month ago) which turned out to be one of my mothers cold-tea cakes. Nom nom nominess, etc.
Reacquired a variety of board-games from my childhood that mother is tired of having in the cupboard, and a more interesting looking one that my Grandad gave to youngest sister and brother and they never figured out how to play. It uses a d12!
Brother rang from Aussie, had the requisite turn sharing the lack of news.
Mood in the house improved all round once the kids and their parents left to visit the other side of that family. There was a variety of conversation and engaement party / wedding planning. Decided to wait for dinner after all rather than taking my leftovers (visiting my parents for Xmas is always good for a day or two of supplies) and heading home early. Compensated for lunch by eating to capacity at dinner.
Return of tired childers and parents seemed like a good cue to exit. All the others are staying with my parents.
Home. Tired. Full of food, if not cheer. Helping sister purchase a camera tomorrow.
