legalmooseSo, after lazing around this morning I hopped a cab and went down to my appointment with the periodontist. Got there a little early to fill out forms, chatted with the receptionist, then sat and waited. And waited. And waited. The doctor got stuck in some surgery, something happened, blah, blah. No big deal, but was getting odd when all kinds of people started showing up in the reception area and I still hadn't been called in.
Long story short, I need a couple gum grafts, but they can wait. I told her the focus right now is the ankle and unless my teeth were going to fall out next week, the grafts were not going to happen until after the ankle was done and good. She was fine with that. Actually, she was a hoot, I loved her bedside manner, it was very matter of fact with the occasional diversion, but I never felt that I was being talked down to, which you do get with the occasional doctor (or lawyer *grin*).
Got a call from Christopher on the way to grab lunch, chatted with him for a bit. He allowed as how he prefers Christopher, so I'll go and change the diary entries from the previous two Sundays and replace the "J" with "Christopher." Grabbed lunch to go, zipped over to the Metro, metro'd down to L'Enfant. Went to CVS to grab this new cold sore medication, Abreva, to see how it does. Had printed off a coupon from the site to use and had to go through this whole song and dance to get them to take the coupon (they thought it was a photocopy - um, NO!). Finally told them it was fine if they didn't take it, but if not I was calling corporate over it. They took it. When you're talking $2 off a $17 item (12% or so off), I'm willing to turn on my full obnoxious lawyer self. I did apologize to the cashier once the manager left, but I wasn't going to back down.
Deposited checks, ran into work, 1/2 an hour late now because of the delay in the appt. and the fight with CVS. Finally got my lunch, and caught up on emails/voicemails. Whee. So that's Friday so far.
