I went to the dentist yesterday afternoon, just for a routine appointment: cleaning and check-up. But first he came out and claimed he hadn't seen me in two and a half years, which sounded wrong. A bit of rummaging through my chart and he admitted to having seen me in 2002: I knew I'd been at least once on my own money (I had dental insurance when I worked at ACM). After some more rummaging, he found the records that I'd been there in January 2003. But he couldn't find X-rays from that visit (I don't know whether there were any), and didn't apologize for accusing me of having ignored four reminder cards.
The cleaning seemed less painful than I was expecting, though my teeth felt tender for the rest of the day. No cavities or other problems, see you in six months.
After the dentist, I went to the gym. Did less than usual--both fewer machines and fewer reps on some of what I did--because my left elbow and then knees started hurting; I suspect that back-to-back dentist and gym, however virtuous it may seem, isn't an ideal plan.Cardio, 33 minutes, top heart rate 150
Calf machine, 45 pounds, 3 sets of 15
Bench press, 60 pounds, 10, 9; 55 pounds, 10
Seated leg curl, 85 pounds, 2 sets of 15; 80 pounds, 15
Adjustable row, 90 pounds, 12
Triceps pulldown, 45 pounds, 15, 12; 40 pounds, 12
Wrist curl, 25 pounds, 12
Crunches, 4 sets of 20
Back arches, 3 sets of 16
Tree, 3 sets of (2 on each leg)
Wrist curl again, 25 pounds, 2 sets of 12
Leg press, 220 pounds, 3 sets of 12
Stretches
After exercising I went down to the Village, restocked on Golden Assam tea (about the only thing I buy at McNulty's, because Porto Rico reliably charges significantly less for anything that both stores carry), and met![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
roadnotes for dinner, conversation, and eventual music. Duck and pasta were eaten, happily, and we walked back west to Rose's Turn. I had fun, but there was enough Christmas music played that I suspect I won't be going back until next year (probably just as well, given budget and such). It was good to see Chuck and discuss possible tattoos (for him; I don't know what I'll get next), to chat with the staff a bit, and to hang out with Roadnotes and baldanders.
On the way home, I stopped into the bagel place on Father Demo Square, and got two pumpernickel bagels--they do a fine pumpernickel--and, on a whim, something called a "French toast bagel", which the cashier said was an egg bagel with vanilla and cinnamon. I ate one pumpernickel on the train home--absorb a bit of the alcohol--and am currently having the other for breakfast. I tried the French toast, was unimpressed, and while I was making this cup of Assam tea thought "you don't have to eat that", tossed the weird bagel, and am having the other pumpernickel. Still, trying new foods is a good policy, and it cost me a whole 80¢.
