Everything is Peaceful and Serene

Christmas is over, all is well. It went pretty smoothly and without stress this year, except for the few things I mentioned yesterday. I got some cute things, and all seemed happy with what I got them. I could go into paragraphs about the ILs, but I'm going to let it go because they're old, which is really the problem. (Oh, maybe a little.)

One of the things we do is that we call them as soon as we get home so they knew we've arrived safely. No problem there. Last night K and R left the ILs about twenty minutes before the Hubs and I did; K had to drop R off at her apartment and then drive the twenty minutes home from there. She pulled into our driveway about twelve seconds before we did. So we get inside, the Hubs calls his father, who says he's been very worried, because he heard from R twenty minutes ago and not K. Because even though he knows it's a twenty minute drive, he's not always thinking that way anymore. I don't think it's dementia of any kind, I just think his neurons don't fire as fast as they used to. But the MIL doesn't seem to get that, and whenever he doesn't get something, she gets very frustrated with him. Oy. They are not going gently, maybe because their own parents died before they got very old and they have no experience with it. Just guessing.

Today was a quiet, slow day. I slept until nine, and then took a three hour nap in the afternoon! In between, K and I went to look at KB Toys to see if there was anything in the closing sale we wanted -- there wasn't -- and I went to K-Mart to look for a video game I want, to get with a gift card I got -- they didn't have it. And that's it.

I'm looking forward to a nice week off. I have a haircut scheduled and one doctor's appointment, and on Sunday, the girls and I are having brunch with the Sibs and Wonderful Niece.

I hope everybody had a good holiday or day off or whatever it was for you --
