Today was unique. In a good way.
I had a great nights rest. Just finished my first full week at a new job. Was jobless for about a month. The stress had made my sleep pattern wacky. And my stomach upset. WOke up in such a great mood today.
Had dinner at Mom's. With my two Aunts and a friend of my Mom. Mom celebrated her 40th Birthday in Alchoholics Anonymous. So we celebrated with dinner. Then went to the meeting.
After, Mom her sisters and I went back to Mom's. We talked, looked at Christmas pictures, etc. It was really nice.
My Aunt Peggy had shared a story I hadn't heard. My older brother refused to go to Christmas with us. Not sure why. But he didn't go. He had been staying at Mom's. So, when we got back Mom dropped me off at my house then continued to hers. Then I drove myself down to her house. I wanted to force my brother to have Christmas. See, he had been depressed about, whatever, and that is why he avoided the family get together. Having dealt with depression myself is why I forced the holiday on him. Even if it was just Mom, he and me. Aunt Peggy called to wish him a Merry Chrstmas that night. Turns out he was so touched by our little Christmas that he cried. I had no idea.
I moved back to Florida to be closer to my family. It has been difficult to find and hold a good job since moving back. But it is great to be closer to family. Despite being poor.
