A Day of Appointments

This is a day of appointments. I started the medley by driving to Wasilla to enjoy tea and a couple of hours of getting to know a new friend from Bible Study, Denise. 

Michael got up half an hour after I left and headed to Anchorage where he saw an oral surgeon. It turns out it will take about 8 months for them to fix the tooth the VA finally approved having fixed. It will be pretty intensive and it's EXPENSIVE but in the end he will have an implant to replace the one that was that pulled a year+ ago. 

When Denise and I said goodbye I headed to visit Dad. I haven't made it over this week as he's busy going here and there and I am busy trying to get ready for....winter. The ladies at the home advocated for me to take Dad for ice cream. I had another cuppa tea. 

Little Millers knows that Dad needs a cup with his cone now. 😏  I feel STRONG having avoided pastries at Crema and ice cream at Little Millers. I'm back on the sugar-free, flour-free wagon after a short slide last Friday. 😬 I talked Dad into a bit of a walk after his ice cream. 

They have a bit of termination dust at the top of their mountain too. I love how the talk everywhere is about when it will snow. I love snow. If only it could stay fall with a bit of snow. ::snort:: 

Meanwhile, Michael drove back to the valley for his second and third appointment of the day. He saw the chiropractor and got a massage.

I came home to a quiet home and soaked in the solitude. 

My third appointment will begin in a couple of hours - I'm having a sleep study done. I'm wondering if I WILL fall asleep at all if I can't watch an episode of a homesteading channel.
