Yes, I did get up this morning to get my bedroom ready for my nephew and his wife to spend Christmas day. Then I got the car ready ...
What I wasn't ready for wast: they didn't come for Christmas which made my sister cry, then I cried and then my sister and I said angry words to one another for no reason.
I have a clean room and new pillows and a fracture in the relationship with my sister that might never go away. I feel truly miserable for the first time in many months. I created my part of this mess and I am so remorseful it hurts.
Can I just sleep till 2011, please. Oh wait, I almost forgot ... the nephew and his wife are supposed to come tomorrow. Won't hold my breath. Will do my best to smile.
