We're getting overcast weather that is not atypical for July, but is still discouraging. It does not feel like summer. I'd like to be at the cabin, and will go up this weekend, but until then it's a bit gloomy here. My husband and I watched two Antiques Roadshow episodes last night. He was exhausted from driving back from the cabin early that morning. I was tired from fighting with the bank, which had lost my safe deposit card sign in, and then when they gave up couldn't get the key to work, and then the dentist. Well, first thing was the hygenist's back was out so we had to see a stranger. A stranger who looked fifteen and was slow, awkward and caused water to leak onto my shirt, in my left eye and who I felt sometimes had me in a wrestling hold. It took forever and then she wanted the dentist to check after and we waited and waited - and then another stranger walked in! It seems my dentist after 2 1/2 years left suddenly, and here was this guy I'd never heard of and my teeth were now in his hands (well, not literally). We'd had the same dentist for twenty three years, then made the adjustment to the new kid, and now the office is filled with complete strangers whom we know nothing about. They handed me a letter, a bit late, informing me that the other guy was going back to school to learn more about root canals. Like anyone would be believe that! Needless to say, it took hours for us both to get out, and we ate lunch at three pm. Perhaps a bit of investigating is in order! I might as well find a new dentist who has at least the recommendation of a friend. Right now I might as well find someone on the street who needs extra money.
So we ate salad for dinner as we'd just had lunch, and watched people bring in their treasures and be fake surprised, or in one case, indignant because the expert was gently telling him his medieval masterpiece was a fake, and tried not to think about a disorganized and annoying day. Thank goodness for PBS!
