I had to shovel more snow in the zillion degrees below zero wind chill and then drive slowly to the dentist this morning. The snowplower had only just started the visitors' lot so I drove down the street and turned around. By that time I could pull into the lot and go for my appointment.

Today’s appointment included a teeth “physical.” One wisdom tooth has a big cavity (why hadn’t they seen it before?) which means that tooth will have to come out at the end of the month. Here I’m almost fifty and still have all my wisdom teeth! Another wisdom tooth has a small cavity which will be fixed next week: a lot of dental visits.

So, I drove back to work, slowly, as everyone was moving gingerly in the snowy conditions. I much prefer walking and transiting than doing this rush-hour driving thing.
