Old Age Day by Day March 27, 2013

Yesterday was pretty dismal.  There was a mixup about my dental appointment, and, though I can't bear to repeat myself again, suffice to say I ended up weeping on the phone, and they got me in after insisting I couldn't be seen this week.  I've had it.  I've made an appointment in May with a new dentist, and whatever was wrong with this guy, I give up figuring it out, because I lost my confidence in him.  Actually, his technician is rude on the phone, and says too much, then he gets on and acts all nice.  It seems to be a good cop/bad cop kind of thing.  I just want to be treated couteously, and when something needs to be done quickly, have them make room for me.  Maybe that kind of care doesn't exist any more.  I notice all the dentists work only four days, and seem to not have a backup dentist for emergencies.  Anyway, I have a filling, which I hope lasts until May.

The roof is done!  They cleaned up well, but left a note on the front door saying they didn't put back all the heavy stuff outside because "they didn't remember where it belongs".  I was inside the house, but they didn't ring the doorbell to ask me.  How convenient.  The light stuff was moved back.  I can't lift these heavy pots, and when my husband comes home this evening, I don't even know if he and I can lift them together.  I'm going to try this excuse at home:  "Oh, I can't do the laundry because I don't remember where the washing machine is, oh, I can't vacuum, because I can't remember where I put it".

On a less dismal and cynical note, all is now quiet on the western front, and I again can hear the chirping of birds.  Peace reigns.
