Hope your day's okay.

it's not but thanks for asking

First Christmas without my mom and one of her friends who lived with us for several years died on Monday.

So fuck you, Christmas.

Not really. It's just another day.

We opened presents yesterday. Today was the turkey feast. It was all right. I enjoyed the look on my drunk mom's face when she realized that I got her two tea pots and 18 different teas from around the world. She was happy and it made me happy.

I stayed at home this year with the pets while the wife went to visit her family four states away. It's lonely but I'm managing.

My year's okay.
