I didn't know so many people had the curly hair "problem". Well, yesterday I did manage to get someone to fix my hair at a nice Prague salon. At least it's more precision cut. It's flat ironed straight, but once I wash it it will be curly again, and likely stay curly until the next cut.

Hub and I never decorate for Christmas until very near Christmas Eve. That's the way it always was in both of our families. However, we leave the decorations up well into January. Last year and this year very little was decorated. Just as last year, we'll just buy a mini tree that is already decorated. No more. Maybe when we finally live in our own house, we'll find the decorations box and do much more. Maybe even buy a few new decorations.

We also went to a new GP yesterday. She's very nice, and looks so young. I confess to thinking she was the nurse, initially. She's Slovak rather than Czech. Sadly for Czechs, we both agree that Slovaks tend to be nicer people, in general. My therapist at our last location was Slovak and he was the nicest I'd ever had, and an amazing conversationalist. This new GP referred to me to several specialists. It is good that I now have an appointment with a gynecologist (in Prague) and will have a mammogram in the near future. I was long overdue. She says I have to go to an endocrinologist in order to get my Synthroid. In the US and down south in CZ, the GPs handled that. What a hassle going to a specialist for such a piddly issue! I have no issues, I'm sure, and my thyroid test results have been normal for years.

I was SO so tired and getting stressed after too many days in a row of us running around. I need at least a few days of being home, doing very little, to recoup. I need to finally mop the floors, though.
