Another Dental Appointment on Monday

 

Bougainvillea

On Monday morning, I called the pharmacy to request a refill of Dancer's thyroid medication, took down the Halloween decorations and ironed the Halloween table runners and cushion covers I had washed on Sunday, and dusted the living room.  I wanted to vacuum, too, but, daughter was having online meetings and I don't like to make a big noise when she's working.  I wished one of my friends for her birthday, ate a bit of leftover milk rice for brunch, and then, it was time to get ready to go to my dental appointment.

The appointment was at 4:00 p.m., but, it takes one hour to drive there due to traffic.  So, we left at 3:00 p.m. (daughter accompanied me).  The appointment was with the dental hygienist to clean my teeth, but, afterwards, the dentist attended to me to replace part of the bridge that came off.  He was able to use part of it to make a temporary crown for one tooth to protect it for the time being.  The teeth cleaning went well because I asked for and received a local anesthetic to numb my mouth (topical gels don't numb me enough).  Only one quadrangle (right upper jaw) was done and that was more than enough for me for one time! Another quadrangle will be done later this month and I made the appointment before I left the dentist's office.  On the way home, we got hamburgers, chicken nuggets, and fries for dinner and a milkshake for me.  

I took it easy after we came home.  Daughter took the trash cans to the curb for me and I watched the evening news.  Afterwards, I spent an hour or so doing some crafting while I listened to some chanting of blessings online.  I'm not quite sure where the rest of the evening went, but, I did some sudoku, visited a few blogs, and relaxed!

On Monday, I was grateful for:

- Another sunny day
- A safe drive to the dental clinic and back
- Local anesthesia for a pain-free teeth cleaning
- Validated parking 
- Daughter accompanying me for moral support

Monday's joyful activity was crafting.

Plans for Tuesday include dusting the dining area, picking up Dancer's medication, taking daughter to get her vaccination, and putting away the laundry that I didn't put away on Monday!  And maybe making a meal plan.

How was your Monday?  What are your plans for Tuesday?
