Not my very finest day. Let me count the ways:
- Trip to the dentist resulted in 2 fillings and an $800 bill.
- Dentist – well actually the hygienist – pointed out an enlarged lymph node in my neck. I immediately leap to the conclusion that I have cancer.
- Lost my glasses. Yes lost. Not misplaced.
- My cell phone company double billed me this morning.
- The happy hour pupus were consumed by vultures before I arrived. I sulked back up to my lodgings and ate my own damn cheese and drank my own rather good wine.
- Went down to dinner and there was no place to sit. So, I waddled off in a snit and once again returned to my lodgings and ate my own damn food from my emergency stores. And sat in my own chair. And let Alexa read to me. Which might have been better than bitching at my friends about my crappy day.
Now – on to the gratitude side of the equation.
- I am glad that I still have teeth. And that I can afford to have them fixed.
- Lots and lots of things cause enlarged lymph nodes. The left supraclavicular lymph nodes drain the thorax and abdomen. So, I might be a tad concerned. But, what can I do? Nothing right now. Nothing at all. And, I need to remind myself that I didn’t even know about my left supraclavicular lymph nodes 12 hours ago. I don’t spend much time looking at my neck.
- Glasses can be replaced. And, I have a spare pair.
- Cell phone company says “you will receive an email as soon as we have an update for you. We appreciate your patience while we work on this for you.”
- No free pupus?? Seriously woman, get a grip. That is not a problem.
- As for the lack of seating at dinner. That isn’t a problem I can solve. And, I don’t see it going away. Time for acceptance.
After seeing the dentist today, I went for a little walk about the old neighborhood. Checked out “Carlton’s Tennis Courts” and went to see if Jackson street was ready for Halloween. It is getting there.
On the technology front. Today, I upgraded Forbin to High Sierra. Most of the changes are under my radar. But, I might give Safari a try. It is supposed to be much improved. And, I put iOS 11 on my old iPad mini.
