Went to “Dinner” with my brother and his girlfriend at my mother’s place, with her and her husband. As usual, the reality of my not wanting to consume ham or any chicken parm was an odd one for my mom. The Salad was raw tomato, beet and lettuce. So, my plate had a slice of bread and loose lettuce on it. (I’m not thrilled with raw tomato or canned beet.)
Today was the first time in memory that my brother and I didn’t laugh together, before we parted company. He’s confided in me that he is on anti-depressants, apparently he started on them about a month ago. That worries me, more than a little…Later this week I’m going to talk with him about it, and get the whole story… but the short end of it was that he wanted to just eat and sleep… no real quality time spent with him today. Instead I spent 3 hours talking to his girlfriend (who’s ok, but I have a little black mark drawn over her head, because she cheated on my brother.), my mom, who was ok, but kept harping on elements of life I want no part of… I’ve discovered that I have forgiven her for her harsh deeds done to me and my brother, and that she is just annoying. Wilton, a nice guy, but my grasp of his grasp of English is so poor… our conversations were limited to showing him how to set up e-mail on the new computer.
It’s over now, and I’m glad of it.
I’m going to walk to blockbuster video, check out the DVD collection there. No. I’m not. I’m going to take a walk though, and focus on the blessings I have. The big three I mentioned earlier. Noot, Ornj, and Bro, plus, my health, the world, and all the good stuff I can find.
See you kids in about an hour. I’ll say hi to the beach and the sun for you.
