BH's birthday bash is over--it was chaotic but a stirring of the genetic pot as our two bloodlines come together. SZ put together a feast of various finger foods--way too much, of course, but a noble showing. I talked with two men who are related to BH--both are dealing with serious medical issues and are recently retired due to those issues. Coincidentally, both men are dancers--one more into ballroom while the other does line dancing. It was an informative discussion--I got a chance to talk about my PD issues with a third party.

Trip to dental offices was not as stressful as I anticipated--the hygienist was pleasant and caring. She still didn't make me feel like I was doing something incomplete--she spent a lot less time than the previous dental technician.

Noticing that there are statements popping up everywhere regarding no dental options being available in 2016--on specific medical plans. I downloaded a form that I have to file--to elect a supplemental rider on my plan. The supplemental options include coverage for chiropractic, acupuncture, and vision--but no dental components in the coming year.

There may be some dental elements in the body of the plan--just have to tease it out of the current noted changes that came about 2016 coverage.

I just nodded off--even as I typed. It's past midnight--so officially BH's birthday is over. But I still hear faint noises from their part of the house--perhaps an intense poker game is underway.

I've got this week's word list extracted for MD--I'll print out that list tomorrow. I'll also print the medical option form--which I'll fill out and send in to the insurance company.

The weekend begins--initiating a period of much cooler times.
