Today I went back to my 'hood (Beverly Hills) for a teeth-cleaning appointment with my dentist and a doctor's appointment.
I don't have more cavities, which is good. Of course, probability is on my side these days because I have so many fillings that it seems like there are very few virgin teeth my dentist actually has to check. (Yes, I know having a filling doesn't prevent further things from happening, but I don't want to let accuracy get in the way of a good comment.)
I went to the doctor to get some shots that I should have had years ago. I'm going to go back in a month for more (her policy is to not give too many shots at once), and then I need to finish things off in 6 months (which I'll either do in England or when I am visiting). The doctor also did some of the routine physical type of stuff and informed me that I need to be more physically active. Imagine that.
One thing that happened in my visit is that I didn't have my Blue Cross card (and could only figure out after talking to my brother that my coverage was indeed through them) because, oh yeah, I lost that too when I lost my pocket protector. So I paid $ from my checkbook and now I need to contact Blue Cross to get a new card and also see how much of the $ can get reimbursed. Damnit. I forgot that was another thing I needed to replace. When I got home an hour ago, I found an expired driver's license with the same picture as the recently-lost one. Because I don't drive anyway, I'm just going to use that and avoid paying the $20 I'd need to get a replacement. That way, I don't have to take my passport with me all the time.
By the way, I hate getting shots. (I also hate getting shot.)
Finally, I hope at least some of you (Lemming?) recognize the title of the blog entry. I really ought to have included that song as part of my 'Out of Context' mix CD. I used 'Burning for You' but in retrospect, the song in question would have worked even better. Too bad only two of you wanted copies of the CD. Se la vie.
