Things on Tuesday

Thumbs Down:

1. Our stupid Martha Steward pre-lit tree.  We bought it 2 years ago.  Last year, some of the lights were out.  You can't just pull the bulbs out and replace them because some are molded into the sockets.  Pretty sure they are not supposed to be llike that.  You may remember this picture from last year when Ray was splicing wires and using the blow torch on the tree.  I probably should've been holding a fire extinguisher instead of a camera.
   

   Fixing the tree

     Anyway, we went to put up the tree last night and at least 1/2 the lights don't work now.  Ray's not about to try and fix that many lights so I had to go buy extras today.  The moral to the story:  don't buy prelit trees!

       2.  My messy house.  Thank goodness the cleaning ladies come tomorrow.

       3.  Dry mouth.  I finally made myself a Dr. appt. for Friday.  I just called the nurse first hoping the Dr. could just order the blood work.  He was just going to give me some expensive pill that helps with dry mouths.  Umm, how about trying to figure out what's causing it?  He's probably going to think I'm a hypochondriac.  I know I'm a highly unlikely candidate for diabetes but I have too many symptoms to not at least rule it out.

Thumbs Up:

1. Ultrasound at physical therapy.  My shoulders got a little out of whack again sleeping on a bad bed & pillow at my mom's.  I think I better start taking my good pillow with me.
2. Finishing my Christmas newsletters.
3. Croissants from Walmart.  They're good for breakfast & lunch!   
4. Christmas music.
