Today's OneWord: Leveled

Everything sort of leveled out after the argument at the table. I'm not sure if the calm had more to do with the wordless reconciliation or with the large jug of whiskey that my sister lugged out for us to drink. She mixed my glass with apple juice and cinnamon, and it was mellow and it didn't kick at my stomach, so I enjoyed it more than drinking whiskey straight. Somehow, the Christmas tree felt friendlier than the family.
