A week or so ago I finally took the time to make a few calls and schedule myself for vital physical maintenance, including:
- An appointment with a new dentist this morning. You may recall my last dental experience, which convinced me that I needed to switch. It's only been four months since my last cleaning, but because I have a recurring toothache, I figured I'd take any dental appointment I could get.
- A complete physical later this month. Lately I've only been seeing my doctor for my twice- or thrice-annual bouts of bronchitis and/or pneumonia. I figured it wouldn't hurt if she had a look at the big picture every now and then.
- An eye doctor appointment the weekend after next. I'm on my last pair of disposable contact lenses and I've decided I'd like a pair of glasses from this decade, in case I ever need to wear glasses in public.
Once all of that stuff is out of the way, maybe I can move on to surface maintenance. My sister got me a gift certificate for an eyebrow waxing and I could use at least one more pedicure before sandal weather ends. Hey, I just remembered that I have a gift certificate for a massage kicking around somewhere! Maybe I can take a Saturday sometime and put together my own run-all-over-town spa package. Hectic and relaxing by turns...
But first, I just got a postcard that all four cats are due for their physicals and shots. Hauling them all into the vet at once is always a delight. After that, I'll really need a spa day.
Oh Jane, I applaud you. I am SO delinquent about my doctor and dentist appts. I have been feeling the "guilts" about it. It just seems that you could be going from one appointment to another ALL THE TIME. For someone who doesn't like to do that....I guess feeling guilty is the lesser of two evils. Thanks.

Heh! 'Surface maintenance'! That kills me.
