As with yesterday I was up before grandfather who was snoring slightly as I passed through his room so I left him undisturbed and went down to breakfast. Because I wasn't here for the Christmas Eve tea party I didn't get to open presents with everyone else so they were waiting for me and Ivan at the breakfast table.
When I got back to the flat grandfather was up and sitting on the sofa in his dressing gown so I made him a cup of tea which he stated was horrible. I got the log burner going to warm the place up before going out to see to the dogs and some of the other little jobs that grandfather would have done had he been well. Ivan had come out to help with some of the work so I was pleased about that. Everyone was having Christmas dinner downstairs together today so when I got everything done outside and hauled wood up to the flat and checked if grandfather wanted anything I went back down and gave Cindy a hand in the kitchen as my ban is now lifted.
I was hoping to get a good piece more of my back story written today but I decided to sit with grandfather instead as he was not interested in getting off the sofa so I felt I should keep him company seen as its Christmas Day. We didn't talk much, just watched TV. I spent last Christmas alone in my room so although this one hasn't been anything special it's an improvement on the last one. I guess this is as good as it will get now, although there is room for improvement as usually Christmas Eve wouldn't be spent at the hospital.
