Look Ma, no cavities!

This morning I was up around 0800, I just could not sleep any longer. After I got off the computer, I made myself some oatmeal with wheat germ and black strap molasses. I also put a banana and some raisins in to give me some more iron and potassium. After finishing breakfast, I loaded the dishwasher and did some of the hand washing that was sitting around.

Then I poured myself a cup of coffee and went into the living room to read the paper, and again before I had a chance to finish the mail came. The only thing that I kept was a catalog and a magazine that I set aside to read later.

Kathleen had mentioned that she would like to have leftover turkey soup tonight for dinner, so I went down to the basement, brought up a container of soup, and put it in the sink to thaw out.

Since I do not have a work office, I decided to decorate my fly tying room, or at least one of the desktops. I have several fly fisherman and four or five ice fisherman that are either huddled around the fire or cutting a hole in the ice. Several of the pieces light up and are kind of neat. I also set up my miniature nativity scene. I have not set up my miniature tree yet, maybe later on this week.

Alyssa called and asked if we could watch Hayden for a while, since I had a dentist appointment I gave the phone to Kathleen to answer. I started cleaning up the living room and then vacuumed it along with the rest of the downstairs. Later on Kathleen decided that she was too tired and called Alyssa back, but Alyssa had already made other plans.

Anyway, about 1400 I decided to make myself some lunch, I heated up some stuffing and gravy, and since there was not a lot of it, I also had a bowl of cottage cheese and loganberry jam mixed together in a bowl.

I did a little more straightening up and about 1520 I started to get ready for my dentist appointment. It is a good thing that I left early, as when I got there I had to fill out a new medical history form. Shortly after I finished filling it out the hygienist called for me to come on back to get my teeth x-rayed and cleaned.

After she finished doing that, the dentist came in, looked at my teeth and x-rays, and said that my teeth looked great and he would see me in about six months.

After leaving the dentist office I stopped at Bi-Mart to look for a T for some small plastic tubing for Kathleen, I could not find any and Kathleen called me saying that she had the soup warmed up and ready for me. So I took off and headed for home before going anywhere else to try to find one.

When I got home Kathleen was upstairs in her computer room on her computer, I let her know that I was home and then changed my clothes again and went downstairs. Since she did not come downstairs right away, I decided to check my e-mail and after I finished on my computer, I was leaving the room and Kathleen said that she would be right down.

She heated up a couple rolls from Sunday's potluck and that was our dinner. I added nutmeg to my soup; it is something that I always remember doing as a child at my grandparent’s house. We use that power, but I remember grinding my own nutmeg with a small grater at their house.

Well, Kathleen is back upstairs and I think I will read my magazine and call it a night. Tomorrow I meet with the guys from the accountability group for breakfast and then we are going to visit one of our friends who is in a nursing care facility. I hate to think that I am getting to that age where my friends are in nursing care facilities.

Well, I think I will just say good night for now.
