lisah, I’m sure that was part of it too.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
So I think they are nice people.
The T&E attorneys I worked with were nice people. It was important to them to set things up well and take good care of the family at a horrible time.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This is reminding me that I need to make an appointment with a dentist.
I'm annoyed -- I couldn't fit all of my recycling into my recycling bin last night, so I put some of the bigger cardboard pieces into one of those big Rubbermaid containers. The recycling pickup people took all of it, including the container. Now I need to get a new container like that, because I was using that for stuff.
I'm watching the NBA finals, because people keep talking about the Knicks. I'm realizing I don't really know much about basketball besides "get the ball in the basket."

I had two cracked fillings redone today and have a consultation about a root canal on Friday. I did fine during the appointment today, but now I have a stress headache. I hate anxiety.

Being old means Medicare Advantage which means dental coverage, at least for the stuff I have needed done. I have a great dentist less than 2 miles from home. The hygienist is very sweet and greets me like an old friend twice a year. I don't even get anxious anymore. Prior to this I went to the dental school here and they were cool. Had no luck with the porcelain crown so I have shiny bling on my last molar which withstands my grinding. I had to pay at the dental school, but it wasn't bad.

Happy Birthday, Dana!!!
I had two cracked fillings redone today and have a consultation about a root canal on Friday. I did fine during the appointment today, but now I have a stress headache. I hate anxiety.
This morning I have 2 appointments with 2 separate dentists -- the permanent crown from my root canal is in at the emergency dentist who did the root canal, so I see them at 10, and then I have a broken filling (I swear I'm not trying to copy you, sj!) that my regular dentist is repairing at 11:30. Lunch will probably be oatmeal. Or a smoothie.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Ugh. Rough night last night.
Got to sleep a little after 10:00 p.m. Was awakened by loud pounding on my apartment door an hour and a half later. It was the fire department, responding to a 911 call from the apartment below me about a gas leak. They checked for leaks in my apartment (furnace closet and kitchen), didn't find any, went away.
Adrenaline spike took a long time to ebb. That and the brain weasels kept me awake until after 2:00 a.m.
This morning my back is sullenly telling me that leaping out of bed to answer the door so quickly was a very bad idea. I am mobile, but just barely. Waiting for pain meds to kick in.
Today is going to be difficult.
