my dental appointment was supposed to be for tomorrow, but since it's supposed to be windy and rainy tomorrow due to tropical storm isaias, i called to change the time. they had an opening this afternoon at 4 pm, so at 3 i left home and walked to park avenue and 36th street. above is someone's collection of boxes, furniture and grocery carts that they've positioned in front of the new school on fifth avenue, between 13th and 14th streets. i thought it was quite extensive and must have taken a good effort to put together.
i love walking through madison square park . .
the dental visit was actually a bit strange for me. the hygienist who usually takes care of me was not in today (she only comes in on tuesdays and thursdays), and a new doctor in the practice cleaned my teeth. she claimed i didn't have any cavities, but part of me didn't feel like she examined my teeth very well! i think part of it was that she didn't take the time to talk with me as i'm used to from my regular doctor. it also felt like a strange visit as the first thing the admin assistant did when i walked in was take my temperature. i also had to fill out a form saying that i hadn't been (knowingly) around anyone with covid-19 and that i didn't have any symptoms (fever, coughing, headache, etc.). they made sure to keep me separate from the other patient that was in the office, and they also were scheduling less people during the day. also, temperature thermometers no longer need to touch your body! they just point it at your forehead.
i hope so . .
