Day Off

My ears are ringing a little right now. Been blasting music for the last hour. But feel much better.

Today was my first of two dentist appointments. As I am under Fridleys dental insurance thought it would be keen to take advantage of it. They did a little "reconstructive" work (i.e. filled a cavity). Must say that it went very well. No pain and very little discomfort, most of which is right now where the injections were. The secretary ladies called me yesterday to confirm my appointment. Being as I was still in bed at 8:30 am when they called I ignored the call. Did the same thing when they called again at 11:15 asI was still in bed, they left another message. Got a call during my shower at 1:30 and again right as I was walking into work at 3:30. Both times it was them and I was mosly occupied so I left it ring, no messages these times. When they called at 5:30, I imagine on their way out the door, I left it ring on principal.

I did answer it today though. They called at 11:01 (my appointment was at 11) as I was turning the corner of their block. I assured them that I was on my way and could see the front door. Despite the borderline harassment it was the smoothest visit I have ever had. The doc did great work and kept me abreast as to what he was up to in there. My teeth look exactely the same to me but without soreness as I floss between those two teeth. Will be in next week for the same thing right above that spot. Am thinking that I will call them two nights before and leave a message around 3 am or so 'to confirm my appointment'. I wonder if they will see the irony and laugh, or just think that I hate them?

Won and lost some great games of chess today. Would be happy to post them if anyone is familiar with chess notation.

Not sure why I needed the music overdose. Had a lingering sence of ennui as the day went on and it seemed to peak as I read through my friends blogs (welcome to the blogging world ian). I miss you cats. You know who you are. Played of lot of my classics. Maybe you'll see a playlist in the near future.
