We get our tree at last

 So it was just Mike and me today. The selection was paltry and they were wrapped up, so we picked the heaviest one. I hope it looks okay but with all the ornaments it should look fine.

One day I'm going to break down and get an artificial one, something I always swore I'd never do.

Before we went, we met John and Noreen for lunch at a place where Andrew is manager. It is a chicken/taco place that is part of a 7-11. You'd think the food would be boring but it was actually really good. Andrew made the food fresh for us. I got chicken tenders with mashed potatoes and gravy. The gravy and potatoes were great! It is a new concept and Andrew is getting the place running. He'll only be there a month. I hope we can go back again after Christmas.

Anniversary Dinners

 Mike and I celebrated our 42nd and Michael and Megan their 3rd. Katherine and Andrew joined us at Aki for a nice dinner. 

The plan was to get our tree afterwards, but the garden department at Home Depot was closed!

Better

 I felt much better today. Slight sore throat, and Mike says he has one, too. So maybe I was coming down with something, not just stressed.

I got a lot done today. I made a batch of cut-out cookies and a new recipe for cinnamon sugar pretzels. They are very good! Also made Rolo Pretzel treats. I worked on my various crafts as well as general stuff around the house. I feel I made up for losing a day yesterday.

Dental Sh*t

 So I was supposed to have the next step of my implants done yesterday. But I was having trouble with a bridge right next to it. Now they want to remake a 5-tooth bridge for me. I kind of freaked out over it. Missing six teeth (I have another missing tooth, plus the 2 for the implants and the 3-tooth bridge) right before the holidays? No effing way. I cancelled and told them I'd be back in January.

But it got me so upset I made myself sick. Now I have a headache and stomach ache since yesterday. 

I asked God for some relief and He did send it--in the form of a haircut! Pete, my haircut guy, took us in without an appointment, at the last minute. It made me feel a little better because my hair was looking really awful. I like the way Pete can make me look like I have more than I have. 

I hope that I feel better tomorrow. I hate being like this. I actually just ordered a calming supplement to try since I tend to overthink and overreact to things. It is from the same company that makes a sleeping medicine I really like so hopefully it will help me.
