Can you go home again?

Melvin is patiently watching my Mom in the kitchen hoping she'll drop something. I should go get the presents out of the car and get them wrapped. I went overboard with the kids but oh well.
I am better ableto keep my emotions in check when I am in caretaker mode. Had some revelations about that this morning as it applies to my relationships with friends with significant others.
It is going to be a day of baking and cooking. Sounds fun to me. Tonight is the Floyd family Christmas then tomorrow I meet up with some HS friends before church. Mom is going to a second church service which I may skip to have some holiday cheer of my own.
My massage was wasted after the drive down here last night. The last 20 miles were snowy and the last half of that (once I got off at Mossy) were interesting to say the least. It was terrible but I'm not used to snow/ice covered curvy hilly roads any more. Especially in a car I can't down shift in. I feel so helpless without that.
I am also going to figure out if I can hook up my laptop... I have website to check that I don't want to do on Mom's computer...
