 Missing the first meeting of the Start Up Bowling league we are joining. My BF has to go without me.
   Not well enough to go out in public still. But getting close...

 Pretty much.
     
 Actually, it took a lot of time digging up the boxes of Christmas decorations from the basement.  Having just moved into the house means we're still very unorganized.

 Er, we go and get a (formerly) live tree: i.e. chop one down and take it home.

 Do anything special to make it last?
 
 When I used to get a tree, I used some kinda mix that the store had... I tried to keep the tree going until Super Bowl Sunday.

 Nope, just keep the water up to it. Usually stays green until after Christmas, at least. When is Superbowl Sunday?

  Where's the snow when you need it? | 
 Someone should get you an axe or chainsaw for Christmas.

 I have my lucid moments.
 
 My neighbor had a tree that he despised, but (supposedly) couldn't cut it down because it was city property... So he kept ramming it over time with his mower until it exposed the innards, which eventually killed it.
   
 I told him he shoulda just chopped it down around 2AM in the morning.

 LOL, I think my neighbor did that as well... He used WD-40 of all things.
