catching up from the week
*The week that had all of August's events in it is now complete! YAY! ::sigh of relief::
*Nothing improves a zoom meeting like having a cat in the frame.
*The dentist visit went waaaaay better than last time.**
*Duolingo included this charming sentence: "The cat is already dressed for the party."
*And today, the prize for getting through the week: new fitbit band!
[**Notes about the dentist: Okay, one, there's this thing they do where they're checking your gum health, right? And the last time I had it done it hurt SO MUCH. And the hygienist was like 'mm, not good, there's some bleeding.' And I was like 'no sh*t there's some bleeding, you just jabbed me with a sharp metal tool like fifty times!' But APPARENTLY that is not a universal -- I don't even know what to call it! Method? Experience? ANYWAY, this time I had a different (better!) hygienist, and the test was sooo comfortable and there was no jabbing or bleeding and I can tell you for certain it is not because my gums have experienced a miraculous improvement. And SECOND, they can put that numbing gel on your gums just for a cleaning! Just because you want it! Sometimes it's not even that something hurts, but that I expect it to hurt, you know? And so when I expected it NOT to hurt, it was much easier. So I have LEARNED SOME THINGS this week, for sure.)
