Its going to be an interesting one for me this year.

Brother and sister in law hate me and refuse to join in family events.

5 year old has surgery scheduled for the 27th

F ather in law was just diagnosed with cancer

...and other new and ongoing things I won’ t mention.

Wish me luck.

On the plus side I think I did a kickass job on presents. We’ll see though.

Surprisingly optimistic though.

not likely to be much family drama, but work... today was our last day until Jan. 2, but yesterday (because some middle managers made a predictably bad sourcing decision a couple of years ago) one of them tried throwing us under the bus and hinting they might “ask” us to work over the break. thankfully our supv. blocked that, but if a chief engineer dictates from on high then who knows...

My son had hernia surgery when he was 2. Still one of the most terrifying things in my life — seeing your child sedated and wheeled off for anesthesia. Just remember that almost all surgeries are rare for you, but routine for the doctors.

Same goes for your FIL - praying that they can isolate and treat it quickly.

The family drama? Just the same crap everyone has to deal with. We’ve got plenty of that here, too. Going on right now, in fact. So we’re wrapping presents, drinking beer, and making stir fry.

Good luck.

Damn dude that’s a full plate. I hope your kids surgery goes well and he/she has a speedy recover. I’m sorry to hear about your father. If I can add something that may help, there is a lot of really wonderful medicine out there that works miracles.

Best of luck through this tough holiday. Your optimism will go a long way for yourself and everyone around you. Merry Christmas!

Deep breaths. One thing at a time. Focus on the important things. Make sure you are taking care of you. Eat well. Take help where it is offered. Hug your wife and your five year old.

Good luck sir! If you need any little thing let me know. I am in PC and don’t have weekend plans other than the mountain. I have to take my car in to the shop for a few weeks on the 26th so between now and then if you need any help with anything I am always willing to help out other good people.

I’m not too worried about the surgery or cancer. both seem like they will be pretty routine/solvable. i actually had the same surgery in 4th grade so i feel a little better about it.

the family drama is a struggle that’s going to be uncomfortable. they’re hurt but they are being intentionally bitter about it.

it might be better if we were drinkers.

Pick one. Or all. We decided we want to avoid family so badly, we’re going to Rome for 9 days.

Tomorrow should be good from what I hear of the forecast. Get everyone some high speed face shots and that should cure any ailing week .

I think his type is very treatable and his options are open. Im not as much worried for him as I am for my wife and her mom.
