Day #7

It’s been so cold that when I see people going on with their daily lives I’m sort of surprised.  And I have to carry on with my daily life plus do 31 new things?  Um, brrrr.
 

#8) Go to the dentist every six months: This morning I found myself using three impromptu hours of vacation time to blow a frozen pipe with a hairdryer.  Since this was exactly how I always dreamed of spending my precious vacation hours, I thought I might as well make it a truly awesome vacation by scheduling a dentist appointment. 

Confession:  I haven’t been to the dentist in two years.  First, I had my wisdom teeth removed which racked up enough dental karma to skip my next appointment.  Then I changed jobs and my old dentist wasn’t in my new network.  Excuses.

Today I spent exactly three minutes between blow drying shifts researching dentists in Pleasant Ridge, calling one of them, and scheduling an appointment for February 4^th.  They offered to get me in today to fill in one of the cancelations, but February 4^th will be just fine, thank you. 

 

#19) Attend my Community Council Meetings:  Done.  Heard a great presentation on Form Based Code and saw the inside of the Pleasant Ridge Recreation Center.  I didn’t get the chance to introduce myself to the group because attendance was so high and time was so tight, but the president promised newcomers could do that next time. 

I just realized that the next meeting will be the same day as my dentist appointment!  For the record, I’ll be looking forward to the council meeting much more than dentist.
