Winter is not a very happy time for me- I miss the sun too much. But after today, the days start getting longer again, and that's a good thing.
We had good news, sort-of bad news and very bad news today. Ameranth was asked to stay on longer at work, so she was very happy about that. I was not asked to stay on longer and after 5 minutes of chagrin at never quite making the units-per-hour goal, I was relieved that the 3 o'clock mornings would end in two days. I won't miss those though I will miss the extra paycheck.
But when we got home we heard that J's eldest brother had died today, at age 68. We knew he had been admitted to the hospital yesterday with kidney failure, so it wasn't completely unexpected, but still it was a shock. He had diabetes for years and (in his relatives' opinions) had never taken care of it properly so we got annoyed each time we heard of the complications which came along. The kind of annoyed you get when someone you care about does stupid things.

I am sorry to hear about J's brother passing away, please accept my condolences.
My husband's father did the exact same thing to himself this time last year. It made an already difficult Christmas that much worse. My condolences on your loss. I hope you're at least having a somewhat restful holiday.
