To the Dentist!

So yesterday I went to the dentist for a cleaning. I'm surprised how quickly the three months went by. Must have been the day or time that I set up but it was so quick, I was only able to read two pages before called in.

We rechecked my gums. What she did was she takes a tool and pokes it between my teeth. She puts it down into them until she finds out how far until my guns and teeth meet. Apparently this time around it was much better than last time. Almost ever tooth had improved at least a little save one (and those that weren't bad in the first place). She kept telling me how happy and excited she was about that.

Then we did the normal scraping clean. Then she put some kind of medicine in my gums which tasted awful, though I suppose most dental stuff does. Sadly she didn't do the fluoride or polish. I really enjoy the polish because your teeth are so smooth afterward. I think these three month appointments might just be the scrapings but I'm not sure. I am so glad the insurance covers it. For the 45 minutes that I was there, it would have cost over one hundred dollars.

When I went to put my next appointment in my calender, I noticed something that is making me stress. Next week is May. That is my last month in this apartment. I don't have a new apartment yet. I just sent out to e-mails to check for available places and to see about setting up a showing. Still, I wish something nice would come up. Both these places have been on my mind as back ups for when nothing came up and sadly I'm reaching that point. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Until next time; may your day be wonderful.

Silly Doctors

So yesterday I went to the Quick Care concerning a weird swollen spot on my leg. We didn't have to wait long in the actual waiting room, at least it didn't feel like it, I was reading. Then after getting all the vitals down (my scale is sadly accurate to the doctor's) we ending up waiting even longer in the check up room.

After a pretty long wait, he came in and in like five minutes told me it was some kind of fungal thing and prescribed a cream. As soon as we checked out, we went straight to the store for the prescription. The Pharmacist took a bit before telling me that my insurance wouldn't cover the costs. She then explained that it was due to the fact that this was something I could get anywhere. So my doctor was going to have me buy this tiny tube of stuff that would be expensive when there was a cheaper, bigger option one isle over. Athlete's Foot cream, that is it. Like he couldn't say "go get yourself some Athlete's Foot cream" instead of saying"Terbinafine Hydrochloride 1% Antifungal Cream." Thankfully the Pharmacist showed me which kind to get and just told me what the directions the doctor had sent for usage.

I'm just glad that it was something so simple (he thinks). I just have to keep my eye on it for the next couple of weeks and hope the cream kills it. Hope you are all well!

Until next time; may your day be wonderful.

Out and About

I have been doing quite a bit the last couple of days.

Friday night, right as I was starting to think about my dinner, my "sister-in-law" called. She said that there was burgers on the grill but I was invited to come over. Apparently they had intended to call much earlier but had forgotten til then. So I went over, we had dinner, then after much hassle, we watched a movie (Frozen). Surprisingly, we hung out, the two sisters, their counter parts and "mom-in-law," until almost 11. The mom is usually super tired by 8 or 9 and one sister almost always falls asleep if out too late. I was okay with staying out that late though, cause that meant I only had to wait an hour for Mr to get home.

Saturday I personally didn't do much. Mr went out to the bar with a bunch of work mates though. It was fun having him text while he was out because he was giving fun commentary. Mr was the most sober of all of them, however, he was drunk. One reason I think they sobered up is because they were too scared to go down the stairs for more drinks. When Mr got home at 2am, he was insisting he was only tipsy but as he sobered up, he acknowledged he had been drunk.

Sunday, Mr went over to one of the aforementioned work mate's house to buy an electric drum set. Now he is extra excited to move in hopes that he'll have space to set it up. After he got back, we went over to his sister's place and all the kids hung out and talked.

With all of this, I've been having a really hard time keeping track of my days of the week. It is always such a pain when that happens. Hope you week feels shorter than it is!

Until next time; may your day be wonderful.

Calling People

One thing that sucks about moving out is having to make your own appointments. I would go to the doctor much more often if the appointments just made themselves. The only reason I am able to go to the dentist so often is they set appointments ahead of time. So then I can either just show up or reschedule it due to conflicts and that's it. (Can you tell I'm putting off calling about an appointment.)

Well I didn't have any excuses, their number is programmed in my phone (yet another sign your are becoming one of those "adults"). But now I have to figure out how to write a professional e-mail because I would rather figure that out than a phone call. Dang dentists and rental companies.

Sorry about all this random talk but it is helping me get important chores done. This post will also be pretty short because I was thinking of working on my "Weekly" review today.

While I would love to continue giving you play by plays of this, I have log out of this e-mail to send then e-mail though a more adult address.

Until next time; may your day be wonderful!

P.S. This is how I am feeling right now: Youtube video

Banana Cake

Last night I was finally able to make my banana cake/bread thing. I use a banana cake recipe and it makes a 13x9 pan of bread. Then I just slice it into 3 or 4 loaves! I think this recipe varies only be two teaspoons from my recipe for bread but makes so much more.

Not long after it was finished baking, we had some slices with a bit of butter on it and it was so wonderful. This morning we had a breakfast dessert which was a slice topped with some bananas cooked in butter and brown sugar.

In case this all wasn't enough to make you crave some, here is a picture of it for ya!

This is a photo from the last time I made this recipe. That is what I had after breakfast, though this time around we didn't have ice cream.

Before I was able to make it, I had Mr grab some ingredients on his way home from work. He accidentally got us some powdered buttermilk. It didn't seem to change my bread too much but I'm going to have to use it in a couple other things before I'm sure about it. If it works okay, that will be awesome cause it good in this form for several years whereas normal buttermilk would likely go bad.

I suppose I have gone on about how awesome banana bread is for long enough. For those interested, here is the recipe for the cake.

Until next time; may your day be wonderful!

Break Over!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter holiday (or Sunday if you don't celebrate). My family went out for some Mexican food. It is amazing how big our core family has gotten. I feel like it wasn't long ago that we didn't need to make reservations because there were four or five of us. Then there was six, then seven and now there is eight and a half!

Nothing much happened through out the week. Mr got extremely sick and had to miss three days of work. Which means in the last two weeks, he was worked four days. He had a five day weekend for his birthday, went to work for two days, lost his voice for another three days. When it started snowing  last night (really weather?) we worried whether he would be able to get out of the drive way to get to work. We just got the snow tires taken of and our car is no good in the snow. Luckily none stuck so he was able to go to work.

This Sunday we went out and walked around the Arboretum. Things are just starting to bud and it is so beautiful. None of the trees had any green though so we'll have to go back in a couple of weeks to see how much has grown! We were lucky and got to see a gaggle of baby geese. We were standing on the side of the pond and they actually crossed the pond to stand on the same side as we were. I think they were hoping for food from us. I also got a photo of the most fluffy robin.

Yesterday I started actually sketching out some of the characters of my webcomic. They are posted in the link "Statistics" Tab but also under the new link under the "Webcomic Quest" Tab.

Well I think that is enough catching up for now!

Until next time; may your day be wonderful.

Hello April!

This week has been going so quickly!

Saturday I spent hanging out with family. Mr's dad (who was in town) and his sisters were all there along with my family. I also was able to get some pictures taken.

Look spring is here!

Sunday, we were able to just hang out and have the day together. Monday we went to his mom's for his birthday. We taught her Phase 10 and had dinner together. After hanging out for several hours, we went to the store and got the weeks worth of food. I also got myself a week/month planner. I'm writing my to do list on each day and using it as a check list. So far it worked cause look! A post! and I was able to do several other chores as well. 

Tuesday we took the car in to switch out our winter tires. Well, we discovered there that our normal tires are so bad that they were hesitant to put them back on the car. So this weekend we have to get new tires, a new belt and a general check up because the engine light is on. So that should be fun and expensive... Amazing how everything related to cars seem to pile up all in one month. Luckily next month's rent is already paid for so we can save for our next apartment starting next month.

Anyway, we will see how well this planner can keep me on track. I wouldn't hold my breath but lets hope for at least an entry every other day!

Until next time; may your day be wonderful!
