Although I don't have too much to talk about today, I must mention my visit to the dentist. Scheduling teeth cleanings 3x/year continues to work for me, and I try to maintain this frequency as best as possible. This visit was a month overdue, but wasn't as bad as expected.

Unlike my Internist, I visit my Dentist in female presentation. God knows what my dentist and dental hygienist think of me, but I am always treated with respect when I go there. Today was no different than usual. However, there was one thing of note that I found mildly interesting....
Both times I had the opportunity to sit in the reception area, I encountered a lady waiting for her husband's dental work to be completed. She complimented me on my dress, but I was unable to return a compliment for anything about her. (She looked like life had beaten her up, and she came out the worse for wear.) When she started talking about her life, she disclosed that her first husband was a drug addict, a convicted thief, and a wife beater. And there was more that I can't recall. Needless to say, she did the right thing in leaving this man, as she may not have lived to tell me the tale. Add to this, she had spent some time in government custody - but only for a couple of misdemeanors. Luckily for her, she met her current husband 14 years ago, and he finally made her "an honest woman" two weeks ago.

Once done with the dentist, I took care of a couple things around the house, then took a nap. Shortly after 6 pm, I got ready for game night and proceeded to Dunkin Donuts for some Munchkins as my contribution to the "party". Unfortunately, somewhere between the Donut shop and my car, I lost one of the earrings that I was given by the host & hostess of game night, and that saddened me a bit.
Game night itself was inconsequential, with me losing both of the games I played. Such is life. I'm just glad I don't have to count on my game playing skills to make a living....
