silver_chipmunkChristmas went very well. I got up to find Middle Brother already awake and dressed. I gave him his stocking. Then we had breakfast and I had coffee.
I put Christmas music on and we listened to that until 3:00 when I took him out by bus to McDonalds for a small lunch. I had a fillet-o-fish, yes I actually like those.
Then we went back to my place and listened to more Christmas music til somewhat after 4:30 when the Kid texted and said we should be calling the Uber at 5:30. So at 5:15 I started getting ready, moving the huge bags of presents and the two big boxes, and the bag of food to the door, then out of the apartment, then to the front door, then down to the sidewalk. In stages.
We got to the Kid's apartment and her boyfriend helped us upstairs.mashfanficchick arrived shortly after, and we got started with the appetizers and then presents. It was a lot of fun, everyone liked what they got.
Then we had dinner. It was ham, potatoes, and spinach with mushrooms. All delicious. Then after that we had cookies and peppermint bark for dessert.
We listened to the Kid's Christmas music and talked til almost 12:00 which was starting to get Middle Brother upset, so finally we all left. We shared a Lyft withmashfanficchick.
Got home and got things set up for bed as fast as possible which is why I didn't post more than I did. Middle Brother went to bed, and I did as fast as I could too.
Woke up this morning at a bit before 10:00. Middle Brother was as usual up and dressed. I put on Christmas music and made us breakfast, and me coffee. Then I deflated and folded up the air mattress, and then showered and dressed.
I asked Middle Brother what he wanted to do and he wanted to go back to his group home, so I got us ready and we took the bus to Jamaica and the LIRR to Hicksville where the person from his group home picked him up. I turned around and managed to make a city-bound train almost immediately so that was good.
I found out that my meeting tonight was cancelled, and there's a good chance the meeting tomorrow will be too, because of the snow storm we have coming, so I arranged withmashfanficchick to stay overnight at zer place so we could watch Heated Rivalry. The last episode til the new season comes out next year.
So when I got home I collected my mail, two new Christmas cards! and packed for a night away. Fed the pets, and left. The snow was just starting. It's still coming down.
Watched Heated Rivalry, and had shrimp for dinner. The final episode is so lovely.
Then I Teamed the FWiB, but his coughing was so bad we had to cut it short.
We vacuum-packed the gluten free bagels that the Kid backed formashfanficchick's present, and now we're getting ready for bed.

1. The FWiB.

3. The Kid.
