'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It’s work from home day today. I’m only one day a week wfh and have been back in the office most days for months and months.
Wfh means I can watch movies and/or knitting podcasts while doing data entry or other non-thinky work.
I’m taking advantage of being well rested and non-hectic workday to do some heavy lifting on serious movies for Oscar Watch.
I am currently in the dentist's chair waiting for a cleaning. Just a cleaning. No drills, no needles, no nothing. Practically nirvana.
Then I need to go home and get a bunch of WFH done.
And yay for drinks after work!
I hope to go out for drinks with friends again soon. There's a cider bar within walking distance, and they give some percentage of their profits to dog rescue. But they opened in 2020, so I haven't really felt able to take advantage of their presence.
I was reading an article about dentists who now have dogs - I believe they're officially called "facility dogs" - who help keep nervous patients calmer. Dogs are carefully trained to work with multiple people, not react to the dentist's drill, lie on the patient's lap, rest on a clean cover on the person's lap and happily be petted while the dentist works. If another patient is allergic or afraid, dog is put in a separate room. Cleanliness is emphasized, so everyone's safe. I'm much less afraid of dentists now, but I could have used this when I was in my 20s.
OH MY GOD I want a dog at the dentist.
After being out among the humans all day yesterday, I have to do it again today. I can't help but think this is a bad plan. I could use a dog to help me cope. We actually allow dogs in the office now, but only one day a week and I guess it's Tuesday - my boss had her dog with her yesterday and that was nice. I may be ready to consider drinks after work in a few weeks...
We're going to our first concert tonight since late 2019, and I'm excited, but it also feels really weird. Not worried about Covid since I just had it.
I would worry that my weeping and wailing would upset the dental assistant doggo.
Drinks and concerts both sound very appealing. I'm deciding if I want to quickly arrange something for my anniversary on the 17th. Getting married on a holiday means there is always something going on that is festive.
Had a conference with ltc's teacher and principal this morning regarding the kid who has been bullying her this year and has escalated to grabbing her arm a couple of times. They were great and seem to be taking the situation very seriously.
