Wednesday December 27th - Holiday Meltdown

[Pagan]

The holiday here was a disaster. This year, we decided to try a family holiday now that The Husband has mended fences with his brother. We get along fine with the brother, fianceé and stepson. We do NOT get along with the brother's children from his first wife. Originally, it was to be us, The Husband's parents, and the brother's current family. Then it turns out at the last minute, they invited the two rude kids to join in. We had planned on cooking for 7 -- now it was 11. And that also meant 11 people in a small apartment with no seating for that many, anywhere. Needless to say, The Husband was very uncomfortable, and the day did not go well. I was just getting over a cold so I did not go. We will NOT be doing that again, trust me. We do have to see them all again when the brother gets married in 2 weeks. Sigh..

We have barely been sleeping since last Thursday with all the running around and cooking. It's been a series of naps, but little more. It caught up with me on Monday. I kept thinking it was Sunday and never did get the day right. Means I didn't get my galleries done or much of anything else. I just chalk it up to the Holiday Meltdown on top of post-COVID stress, and try to pick up the pieces. We can do this.

Morning!

The Bitch decided to call off work, which means she gets to go to the DMV & sort out our registration since she wears the pants around here

I need to do some creative year-end accounting this morning.

Sorry to hear the holiday was do hard Pagan. My wife and I came to the same conclusion about our kids. We'll see them at Christmas but each of them separately. They rude and disrespectful to each other and especially to us.

Just trying to a bit of work today. I've got to take my BIL for blood work but that's about it other than a couple of things I need to pick up.

Cheers

Good Morning

Family Holidays are Great
Only because my POS brother lives in another state and my mother is across the country. If I had to have holidays with them all at once it would be HELL!!!

I've had BBQ for 4 days and Iiiiiiii need to stop!

Today is mostly biz grunt work and the rest of the week since we are traveling this weekend.

Enjoy your Wednesday!

Good Evening

I finally got to spend time with my family today, for the first time this Xmas. We get along though

Sorry to hear about your version of Xmas, Art and Pagan.
Tomorrow some young dude will drop by. He wants to check out one of my guitars. Motherfucker.
I mean, just because I put it up for sale, doesn't mean he got the right to buy it.

Take care
