2. I remembered to make dental appointments for each of us this month (prompted by email reminder that we shouldn't let our insurance benefits go unused for the year). We hadn't used this insurance before, as I think we had to have it for at least a year before coverage kicked in. I'm not sure that's right, but it was something like that. So I wasn't sure what it would actually cover, but a preliminary check by the dentist's office was that it would pay 80% of my visit today for exrays and cleaning. The dentist came in to look at the images, and said I was blessed with really good teeth. Boy, don't I know it! Sixty-seven years old and no cavities! (I did have one small cavity once, but I don't count it because I broke the root of that tooth grinding my teeth in my sleep about twenty years ago, so it is gone and has an implant in its place.) Carey's appointment is next week. It will probably be more expensive, because he wasn't quite as lucky in the teeth department.
3. I have a book ready to pick up at the library tomorrow. And I found another that I'm looking forward to, but I'm number sixteen in the reserve line for it. But that's good, because I have plenty of others to finish in the mean time.
4. We were going to go to the movie theater tomorrow for the Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale opening day. But with my dodgy knee, I really don't want to do all that walking, so I think I'll wait for streaming release. Besides, do I need all that expensive, salty, greasy popcorn? No. Want it? YES, but I'll live. :)
5. I still have all the ingredients in the fridge, so tonight I think I'll try to replicate the omelet I made last week.
What we ate this past week:
Saturday: Family supper at Kasey & Beau's
Sunday: takeout barbecue baked potato
