That was the problem \u2013 a $4.25 part \u2013 and labor enough to pay for a daughter\u2019s dancing shoes. \u00a0As to the composition of this soft gray metal, it is a mystery.\u00a0 Mysteriously, also, is why my teeth are as cranky as the truck.\u00a0 I was having a piece of cake with John at 3:00 p.m. and pulled off another gold crown, from long ago.\u00a0 I was lucky to be worked in at 4:30 this afternoon.\u00a0 They realized it was a clean break from the top of a tooth that already had had a root canal.\u00a0 They simply cleaned it and re-cemented it back in place.\u00a0 It will be fine with no chewing for 24 hours.\u00a0\u00a0 $103 later I’m doing fine.<\/p>\nWednesday, Feb 15.\u00a0 A busy day.\u00a0 Trip to Food Bank to entertain the folks there, who really appreciate us.\u00a0 It was a salty lunch, but I still had a little (ham, potato salad, beans, pineapple).\u00a0 Off to exercise, but I was not in the best state of stamina & energy.\u00a0 Home to many emails and concern for planning for music for our “group.”\u00a0 That’s taking too much of my time.\u00a0 None of the neighbors’ health situations have changed that we are aware of.\u00a0 Hope to eat dessert and go to bed earlier than last night.\u00a0 I was tired all day, having not had enough of a good night’s sleep.<\/p>\nThursday, Feb 16.\u00a0 I went to bed not feeling well just after 10:30 last night, slept pretty good till 4:00 and then another 4.5 hours.\u00a0 I only woke up one time during the night about 2:00.\u00a0 Guess I needed the rest.\u00a0 Today is a blood draw for the INR and music at Dry Creek (retirement), and then an acupuncture afterward at 4:00 p.m. \u00a0\u00a0So, I’m gonna be gone for several hours after I get out of here.<\/p>\nJohn just fixed me the nicest book to put my music in.\u00a0 It has a big picture of 3 violins, front, side, and back, and music notes on a staff curling, and my N A N C Y in large purple letters on the spine.\u00a0 It was an old 3- ring binder with things on it I didn’t want to advertise, so this was a nice gift for me.\u00a0 Not only did he find it out in the garage, he cleaned it, and then labeled it.\u00a0 What a guy!<\/p>\nJohn’s going to make me a fried potato pancake from our mashed potatoes last night with chicken, so we can eat a little lunch before I leave for this afternoon. He did and I left for a intensive afternoon.\u00a0 First stopped for my INR test at the hospital.
