Wednesday

Left at 10:00 for my 11:00 appointment with Dr. Babbitt. I was scheduled for a teeth cleaning, but was in fear and trembling when I was told Doc wanted x-rays, too. I was sure there'd be all kinds of gruesome problems--"too bad, this'll have to come out, " "oh, that looks a little iffy, too," "is this sensitive? That's not a good sign" and so on. But, glory be, they're all okay, plus Doc looked carefully in my mouth and said he saw no sign of cancer. (That's always a worry for me, considering I smoked--heavily--for 41 years.) There was a new therapist, Selena, who was just a pleasure--full of good cheer, warm and welcoming, she was great. 

I was amazed to see this image in the reception room at Dr. Babbitt's:

I asked receptionist Stephanie about it and she said Dr. Babbitt is an amateur photographer and he had won the blue ribbon at the county fair. (I told her I had won the blue in the "Cowboy Poetry Contest.") I had always admired this one, too, hanging in the front office--underwater turtle:

Anyway, going to Dr. Babbitt's was almost fun at times--at least, when the ordeal is over.  I was outta there in about an hour and bused to WinCo, then walked to the Barnes & Noble mall and had my lunch in the leafy alcove there. Actually, I'm meeting Diane today in the same mall, but we'll eat outside at Urbane Café, bringing our own.

Got home about 4:00 and put in a wash, then went over to Von's for a few things. Made tofu for dinner, along with baby potatoes and broccoli. I just fried the tofu, which was okay, but I want to look up some different recipes. Years ago, I was vegetarian and ate tofu often.
