One of those pleasant, busy days.

Morning: I woke up ten minutes before the alarm. Oh, good, said I to myself, I can snooze for ten minutes. Then the alarm went off. Fastest ten minutes ever.

Lynne drove me to the dentist. I told him I hadn't flossed since June because I couldn't reach my mouth, he was all sympathy and said the damage to my gums was visible and I have an appointment next week for plaque removal, etc. The day before my birthday. For years, when I was young, I had dental appointments on my birthday. This is a near miss. But hey, I want to get it over with before going to France.

Dr Barnes explained why I suffer from a dry mouth: it's a side effect of the blood pressure medicine. It causes bacteria to grow in the mouth, so I'm supposed to drink a lot of water, and wash my mouth out with water, on a frequent basis. Nice to have that explained. I'd been wondering what was going on. Xerostomia, it's called.

Met [personal profile] commodorified and [personal profile] fairestcat at Westgate for knitting, coffee, and (as it turned out) some good X-Men talk, and bra-buying. Nice to have someone to discuss X-Men with. Someone who knows who Kitty Pryde and Pete Wisdom are, and why they should be together.

Lunched at the food court: utterly delicious donair.

Then [livejournal.com profile] maaseru picked me up in a huge thunderstorm and we went to Kanata for a high-tech assessment session with the chiropractor, Dr. Pope. I like the way he operates. I already know he's good: he fixed my bad back last year. We signed up for treatment and nutritional counselling.

I then went downtown and walked home from Laurier St., shopping at several grocery stores - found tripe at Hartman's, yay! It had long since stopped raining and was pleasant, sunny, and cool. I was tired by the time I got home, but not too tired to figure out how to download the Kobo software to my Blackberry, so now I can read The Game of Kings wherever I go. This really tickles me.

Visited [livejournal.com profile] explodedteabag to have a quick look at the Sherlock DVDs that she ordered from England, and just received. Spiffy.

Time to do some serious arm exercises before going to bed.
