I went to Mount Auburn Hospital this afternoon, to have my hands x-rayed--Carmen wants to see how bad the arthritis is, and I think also check whether there's something else going on. I had one hand X-rayed there in 2018, so they will compare the two sets of films.

Now that I'm fully vaccinated and just going places isn't irresponsible, I took a side trip up Mount Auburn Street on the way home. I now have baklava and doner kebab meat from Sevan's bakery, and a few chocolate truffles from Fastachi, a chocolatier I hadn't previously been to. If we like them, I'll go back and maybe try more things.

I looked at the bus times this afternoon, and decided to walk over to the 73, rather than wait 20 minutes for a 71 to go three stops, and then another 15 for the 73. That was a nice bit of wander along streets I hadn't been down before, because there was no specific reason to. But not only can exploring be fun, someone suggested that literal new places will be useful brain exercise after a year of staying home because of the pandemic. That may or may not be true, but I saw various flowers, and one rabbit.

I am getting my teeth cleaned in Watertown Square on Wednesday, and have notes about a bakery to try there, but I forgot about the bakery until just now. We may be over-supplied with sweets.

ETA: Based on what they emailed me, the X-rays show nothing surprising. Left hand is worse than right, and the right hand is doing a bit worse now than three years ago.

I'm expecting an ice cream delivery in fifteen minutes. We will probably be over-supplied with sweets.
