2:30 am and all's well

As a family unit, today was one of the more pleasant days we've had. Normal, even. No squabbling, no sarcastic jabs, no bitterness, just jovial verbal pokes at one another's expense. The afternoon heat forced us all to sit in one of two air conditioned rooms. Turns out spending time together, albeit forced by the weather, is a good thing. Also, with the PC being infected by the lesser known but very annoying 'Jeefo' virus, (named, no doubt, after its geek creator in a dark lab somewhere) and a continual lack of electricity forced us to actually converse, since there was no other form of entertainment to be had.

As always, my siblings and I are from different planets; little brother from the 'business' side and I from the 'techie' side and sis, the youngest, in the arts field. With Mum representing the 'pissed off at inconsiderate neighbors who hog all the water' club, aunt from 'pissed off at bankers who are full of themselves' land and Dad from a large continent called 'stop talking and listen to me', we make an interesting unit, but not one with a lot in common, except blood ties. Put them all in the same room, and you have a very strange little party going on.
