Forgetful

[altivo]

I got so distracted worrying about Gary's potential root canal (and yes, he's going to have one tomnorrow) and work that I forgot to bring Tess in from the pasture. Gary got her at 6 pm, which means she was out there for over 7 hours today. I've been holding her to no more than 3 hours a day, so this will require watching. Last time this happened, she turned up with grass founder (mild case) the next day and had us worried for a couple of weeks. Went out to look at her in her stall but that's inconclusive. I need to see her walk or run in the open to be sure she's OK.

Work was the usual crazy stuff for a Wednesday. Got a strong compliment on my story in Allasso from a non-furry coworker, which was unexpected.

Now have two ereaders in transit. The replacement Literati is supposed to arrive tomorrow, and the Kobo on Saturday. The library owns a Kindle (boo) and a Nook, so I'll be able to compare all of them.

Now to bed I think.

Do you have a fear of dentists? I have a few friends for whom even the sound of drilling makes them sick.

No, I'm fine with the dentist, just picky about which one I go to. My mother was a dental assistant for many years and I'm thoroughly desensitized. Gary is less comfortable than I am about it, though.

We have a fear of dental and medical bills, which isn't the same thing. He has no insurance and this all has to be paid out of pocket, the usual difficulty here.

Sorry...I keep forgetting :(

Nothing to be sorry for. Americans get what they deserve.

The way we hear it over here, UK dentistry is still in the 19th century or worse. Here it is very modern and high tech, and amazingly painless. The only problem is sitting still for it, and of course, the bill afterward. It seems as if every time I go for a check up, they've added some new technology or other. Lasers, digital x-rays, you name it.
