A Movable Situation.
Today has been x-rays and appointments. The dental
appointment moved three times, and the x-ray took a picture of my entire head—at
least that was what it looked like with the jaw bones and stuff showing in the
film. But Dr. Pitts was an excellent example of what a dentist should be. He
explained things as he went and waited until things were well numbed before he
started working. Family Dentistry has my vote! Now the x-ray at the Clinic was
different—two pictures of the lower back from front and side. Read the report
in my chart that came in somewhat later, and it said that there was “Slight residual
L4 anterolisthesis.” That might mean that some of the mess could not be
corrected—or not. Have no idea. Just taking it easy and wearing the “corset” or
belt that they sent me home in. It is supposed to remind me not to bend, lift,
or twist. Umm. Trying hard to behave myself!
Had
no idea what to expect for pricing on these two cavities. One filling broke out
at some time during the last few weeks. Not sure how that happened or why, but
now it is filled and going to be great! The other one was a filling put there
YEARS ago that Dr. Pitts thought needed to be replaced because it goes under
the gum line. Anyway, it is done and paid for—well, paid by credit card. Paying
the entire sum on the credit card bill is easier than other things—like having
any finance charges! Kids need to be taught about things like that when they
are still in 7th or 8th grade so they will know better
when the credit companies start sending them applications. But someone said
that all the kids that age need to know about interest on loans and the
different kinds of bank accounts. Some of that stuff is still beyond me. Oh well.
Lance
sent me a message saying that there is an update ready for my phone. Now he
will have to issue the instructions for downloading whatever needs to be done.
Sometimes feeling ignorant is pretty disgusting when it comes to technical
stuff—or anything else, for that matter. But we simply can’t begin to know
everything there is that is useful, much less just interesting. [Ah! Settings,
General, Downloads!]
Lunch/dinner today was some leftover baked squash and
chicken alfredo. Had thought about going to the store to pick up some veggies
and fruit, but have a feeling it might be better to take a short nap rather
than driving again today. Wonder Woman might not be that wonderful by tonight!
Giggling. And currently can’t feel my bottom lip. Can see it now if pulled over
by an officer: “Yeth, Thur. Been toh thuh dentust.”
Not quite ready to think about getting the grass mowed, but
will have to get the zero turn out and clean it pretty soon. Lance swears he
will never get on it again. He does not quite see the back of the mower in his
mind. And the front is not the part that does the business of cutting—or of
hitting whatever he might not consider in his way. Poor guy. Donny taught me or
the trees around here would be just stubs!
Have seen some of the footage from the Ukraine mess. Feel
so sorry for those folks. Run out of your town, your home, your country by a
bunch of people who have been told to shoot anything that moves. Someone needs
to have their backside kicked for that! Wars are stupid in general, but this
one makes anyone who cares feel angry. Maybe things will get better for those
who had to leave. May God give them protection and peace. May the children be
comforted.
We still need rain, but will just sit here and appreciate
the calmness of the day. At least we still can water the critters and take a
shower as needed. Even doing laundry makes me aware of how much water is going
out on the grass since Lewis put the lines out from the house to make the grey
water useful. Maybe soon we will get those April showers that help the May
flowers.
Let us be thankful for the blessings we have been given.
Let us show love in whatever way we are able. Rest and rejoice in each day. You
are loved.
