silver_chipmunkGot up at 8:45 and ate breakfast and had coffee. Showered and dressed in my Christmas sweater. Set off to get Middle Brother at the Hicksville train station.
44 bus to Jamaica. Just before I got there I got the phone call from Oldest Brother's nursing homeand we had the conference. Nothing much of note, except the bad news that the water pills have not helped the fluid buildup in his abdomen. And he has pressure sores from his time in the hospital.
Anyway, I got to the train station and found the next train was at 11:01, just enough time to get it. In actuality it was a few minutes late because a previous train was held in the station for some reason. So I got to Hicksville by 11:30 which was fine. They got there with Middle Brother a little later and we met up and started back. He has a really great hat!
Anyway we took the train back to Jamaica and the 44 bus to Flushing where we got out and went to Popeyes for lunch, then took the 44 again back to my apartment.
We spent the afternoon listening to Christmas music.mashfanficchick and RK got here at 6:45 and we packed everything in RK's car and headed to the Kid's.
We found a parking spot right across the street! Amazing, a Christmas miracle. And we had our Christmas Eve. I think everything I gave was enjoyed, and certainly everything I got was appreciated. Oddly enough, no books this year, but that's OK.
We had dinner and drinks and treats and everything and it was lovely. At the end the Kid put some of her favorite music on and we left around 12:30.
RK drove us home and I fed the pets and then set up the air mattress for Middle Brother.
And now time for bed. Merry Christmas!
Gratitude List:
1. The FWiB.
2. No bad news on Oldest Brother.
3. Got Middle Brother no problem.
4. My friends.
5. The Kid and her boyfriend.
6. It's Christmas!
