It's nice to know that there are some honest people out there in the world (despite Becca's recent experiences). This morning at 6:30 came a very loud jarring noise. At first I thought something had fallen. Then it came again, and I realized that someone was knocking on my door (and man, can that little knocker make noise!). But who would be knocking at 6:30 a.m.? When it came a third time, I stumbled out of bed and opened the door, to find a maintenance man, who pointed out that Carrie's keys had been left in the door. I hope I thanked him for pointing this out. It's nice to know that a) they were still there after being out like that since 10 the night before, and b) someone was concerned enough to point this out to us.
Anyway, so this morning I had a dentist appointment. Just a routine cleaning. The dental hygienist said that I've been doing an excellent job with my home tooth care. She complimented me on my flossing and brushing habits. However, I still have to get 2 crowns and a couple of small fillings. That's another $900 down the hole. That means by the time this is all over, I'll have spent almost $2000 on my teeth. Argh! On the positive side, instead of just saying "You have weak teeth" and ending it, the hygienist told me why: I didn't brush when I had braces. So plaque and stuff just built up for years and decalcified my teeth. Now they're weak. But she says if I stick with my dental regimen, I should be okay. Once I get all this stuff done to my teeth. At least everyone in the office was very sympathetic about it.
Tomorrow my writing class starts. And yes, I am nervous. But it'll be good for me. I just wish Suzanne wasn't in it.
Current song in my head:
"How Do You Mend a Broken Heart?"
