Good news from the dentist today--seems that the intense hygiene sessions are showing progress. Great! They moved my next session up to this Thursday--it will be good to have that done and behind me. Next Thursday is B's birthday, I believe!

Weather is cool and I'm struggling with the changes--I don't do well in any form of weather extreme. I fell asleep after lunch (fish and chips) for about 3 hours--awoke feeling cold and shivery. I didn't get to sleep until quite late last night--I got hooked into playing Just Words.

I played the Inspector Morse episode where he reveals his (very unfortunate) first name. He got his reward for doing so--a tryst with a new lady whom he met while solving a case. Hint: His first name was given away in the TV series about him as a young policeman--It is the name of the series!

Our mailbox is getting overflowed with donation requests and packages. MD's name is being sold to one and all since she is a consistent donor--the creeps leap on someone like her and try to extract monies by any ploy. I doubt that half of the requests are legitimate! She doesn't send any one of them a lot of money, but she does methodically send a couple of cashier's checks each week. I believe that most of them are for $10--so she spends about $80 per month. But the sharks smell the faint hint of green blood and keep on circling, thrashing the waters with their offers, hoping for a score.

It's warmer now--since I moved the thermostat target temperature to 72 degrees. It's predicted to hit the high 30s tonight! Tea time!
