Went to sibling's xmas party.
There was food and humans.
There were many humans, but apparently half as many as expected, so there was a *lot* of food.
Due to slight miscommunication, mum had sorted out food for me, but it was a baked potato and beans when everyone else was having sandwiches and small food on plates. and it was a lot of potato. so I didn't even eat it all.
Also, first they checked I wanted beans and potato, then they came back in and asked if I wanted cheese on it too. We said nooooooo and mum emphasised not even butter, no dairy, and they said they knew that, they just wondered if I wanted cheese.
... at which point I decided I didn't need to ask after the (mostly home made) ingredients in the many plates of food, because clearly definitional issues were going to complicate things anyway. and also I recognised a lot of it and it seemed pretty cheese and cream based. so.
beans and potato.
sitting next to sibling, who ate one of most things and drank cola with toasting us gestures, and then went back to their room to do same usual watching DVDs.
so then I went and read a book in the corner. or rather attempted to, as two separate sources of xmas music made this difficult.
mum was social human with the carers. 24 hour care for several humans means lots of carers. they were chatty.
I did my best impression of a human a couple more times, talked some, tried to be interactive.
then I went and saw sibling's room, which looks just like their room at mum's house, down to the same double copies of DVDs. But they're happy having that many, so that's okay. it is bigger and better decorated though. they have like film strips up the walls with different movie pictures in the frames. and in the front room there are shiny metal butterflies on one wall and metal and shinies peacock on the other. pretty house.
taxi there, lift back, £25 for transport to party. is cool.
Now I have been awake since midnight on 4 hours sleep, so probably I will go sleep. That will be nice.
