Acupuncture and M&M Cookies

This morning Jodie picked up Evan and brought him to school. It’s his last day of school before the holidays.

Matt and Rachael came to help again this morning.

I had an acupuncture appointment at 10:15. The appointment I went to last week was just for testing before they do any kinds of treatments. The woman did a few different tests like blood pressure, looking at my tongue, and some other things which they charged $73. I thought that was pretty expensive for not even getting any kind of treatment. Today she mostly just talked about treatments they offer and drew stuff on the whiteboard. It felt like a sales pitch. The actual acupuncture was maybe 20 minutes. It took about 5 minutes for her to place a few (maybe 10) needles in various spots. Then, she left the room for 15 minutes and came back in to take them out. That was it. I was charged $63 for today. I’m wondering if that is normally how it works or am I getting ripped off. It sure seems like that to me. I don’t think I’ll go back there. I’m going to ask around for recommendations of a different place to go.

On the way home I stopped at HEB and got some groceries.

Matt and Rachael stayed until after I ate lunch.

When Evan got home I put the boys down for naps.

For dinner Jill and Michael ordered Austin Pizza Garden for us and Morry picked it up on his way home.

After dinner I made M&M cookies. It had been a while since I made cookies. It seemed like a good day for it.

My hands are still hurting, but they are getting a little better. They are starting to peel now and it’s still hard for me to do some every day things.

Well, we just put the boys to bed. Noah was good during the day today, but got really cranky tonight. He seems to be quiet now. Evan is still up.
