Wintry Wednesday

 We actually had snow today here in Salt Lake City. Not a lot of snow just flurries but it looked pretty vicious as the cold front wandered through earlier in the morning. For a little bit there was a little snow on the ground but it disappeared pretty quickly but the cold temperature and wind and dark clouds remained enough to keep me secured in the apartment most of the day except for when I was ruining back and forth from the laundry getting the clothes to the room to fold and hang. The clothes are on the bed folded and those that needed hanging or hung if you couple that with 1 hour of turning the crank on the arm bike that made for a full day for me. I even made a three-course dinner tonight still quite proud of myself. It wasn't like real cooking but I did take one of the burgers I cooked the other night chopped it up at the bite-sized bits open up a can of spinach got it hot and had a side of mustard potato salad it was a pretty good dinner. Tasty and filling. I still could have a desert of one sort or another. I have a little less than a half of an apple pie you know one of those cutie apple pies? Or I have a few dried up pieces of chocolate cake that might be good as well. Tomorrow should be a busy day as well. In the morning I have a dentist appointment which I am not sure how it's going to go. I know I've got some fillings I think the dentist is aware of that too but I don't know if they'll start work on the fillings tomorrow or just do the exploratory and find out how many that I have then set up a time to start the dental work. I used to be terrified of the dentist and all the things he might jab and stick in my mouth. Now I no longer fear the dentist from the physical standpoint but really frightens me is the financial standpoint. I don't know why I'm worried they've always worked with me over the years as far as setting up payments. However, now we're getting into big time with big money and I don't know if he'll let me do Time payments on the work he will do in the next couple days or weeks. I just want to get my mouth taken care of to the point that it's not going to go nuclear on me on some weekend or national holiday- - I hate that. I also want to make sure that I have teeth to eat with. I know it sounds crazy but never have I so wished that I had done better self care than now. I'm totally envious of comrades and colleagues that's still supporting full mouth of teeth and they can eat whatever they want no problem I could survive on much if I had to I mean like if I were an old coot like Scrooge and had porridge/mush every night for dinner. I understand now why he chose to have that meal because he probably doesn't have any teeth at all and it's the easiest thing for him to gum and swallow and still go to bed with a full belly good old Ebenezer.
