Will I ever get to see the hygienist again?

Dental hygienist, y'know, the one who scrapes at your teeth and pokes your gums then scrubs your teeth with a little floor polisher and paste wax? Well, maybe not that last bit. Anyway, I had a cleaning schduled for Friday, August 7 which was almost immediately rescheduled to Monday, August 11. Which I missed because I didn't realise it was Monday already (I thought it was Friday-- can you say Seniors' Moment?). So we rescheduled for today, Friday, August 29... I got up, washed my hair, got dressed, had breakfast and got a phone call: The hygienist wasn't feeling well and had to cancel. So now I'm scheduled for Sept 4. I'll let you know if I ever get my cleaning.

I had mine just a week ago and have had a small filling since. It took me three goes to get there too but all my own fault.

Well, I hope the third time is the charm, also for no cavities.

I have one scheduled September 8th, which I am not looking forward to, but I’d like to keep my teeth so I’ll go.

then scrubs your teeth with a little floor polisher and paste wax? Got a good laugh out of that one.

I hope that September 4 will be the good date and you can have your teeth cleaned. I did the past 25th of July.

You'll get there eventually... maybe. I hope everything else is going well for you.

Well, it's rather cool at only 17°C/63°F at noon, but I did blanche and freeze some stringbeans from my garden and sweep the floors, so I guess I've been productive for now.

@BarBaraPrz We have the same temp here for now. Cloudy and nasty looking outside although it isn't supposed to rain. I've done dishes and cleaned counters this morning... And slept for a couple of hours. That's productive enough for both of us.
