Dental check up

I finally got to go to the dentist today for prophylaxis. Since it's been a few years since I've had one, I was quite nervous about this visit, being afraid that my dentist would discover new cavities. But it didn't turn out as bad as I thought. (And I sat in that dreaded chair just under three quarters of a hour.) Although my gums are now a little sore form all the cleaning, I'm relieved that my teeth were given a clean bill of health. Phew! And my dentist was also nice enough to apply flouride on my teeth for extra protection.

Stranded

For possibly the first time ever in my life, I got caught out in the rain without an umbrella. When I went out to lunch earlier, I didn't bring along my umbrella after seeing that it was sunny and hot out. But while I was eating at one of the fastfood restaurants, I was dismayed to see that it was pouring outside. Luckily the rain had stopped by the time I was done eating. So I set out to walk back to my office. But then it began to rain harder halfway there and I had no choice to wait it out at another building. There I waited with other people stranded by the rain before when the weather cleared just enough for me to walk back to my office about twenty minutes later.
