dentist

I went to the dentist this afternoon and had the new crown fitted. There were some uncomfortable bits, because I needed to open very wide so they could reach the tooth in question, but they were fortunately brief.

On my way out, after paying for this visit, I made an appointment for a deep cleaning, in early November. I am feeling very grown up and responsible, because I made the appointment on my own initiative, rather than waiting to hear from the dental office about it.

I stopped off on the way home for a dish of the soft-serve saffron rose ice cream, and bought a pint of the same flavor to bring home. I know from the farmers market that the ice cream is better fresh from the soft-serve machine, but I like the flavor, and I will be too numb after the deep to eat ice cream.
