@ the Lavender Festival yesterday, a lovely water garden with a bubbly bit of dry ice fog....
One of my racquetball friends invited me to go to the Lavender Festival yesterday. I thought it was held at Los Poblanos, but it's actually across the street, in a field. So, no real tree shade to speak of. It was incredibly hot. I wore a hat, a white shirt and took my cooling scarf ~ but it was so hot that it didn't really seem to make much of a difference, although if I hadn't brought those things with me, I'm sure I would have been convinced that those items would have made a huge difference. We didn't stay very long ~ it was too uncomfortable.
On the plus side, her husband drove us there and picked us up so that we didn't have to park and take the shuttle ~ in her 2015 Honda CRV. It was very nice. Great room in the back seat. So, although I have been leaning toward the Rav4, I will definitely keep the CRV in my sights. I suppose there are lots of those on the road for a reason!
Last week Romeo had to have a lower molar extracted. He has been having regular cleanings since I've been working there (4 years), and for the most part, seeing the same hygienist. After I finally made sure they took a panorex x-ray, it was obvious the tooth needed to come out. I was very disappointed that it took way longer to diagnose the problem (furcation, which develops as the result of bone loss) than it should have. Why didn't they take a pano? Why was the hygienist recommending he go to a periodontist (nothing saves a tooth that has furcation, at least not to my knowledge)? I am trying hard not to feel as though employee family members are not given the highest standard of care because there's no charge for it. I plan on speaking to our OM next week about it. It bothers me........as I'm sure any of you would feel the same way in my situation. Maybe I'm being too sensitive, something I constantly have to work on.
Today I made my last post on my other blog. Seems to make sense since I've graduated. Because it didn't generate much interest, I hadn't posted on it for a long time. I want to start another blog, but I am not sure if I will add it to this blog or begin a whole new one that isn't connected to this one at all. I need to think about my reasons for creating a whole new blog instead of just adding a blog like I did with the "college after 50".
Laundry calls.....enjoy the rest of your weekend!

A CRV was too tight a fit for my garage, but the HRV drives larger than a little car. New last year, so far I like it a lot...and it fits my garage!
ReplyDeleteWe were talking about today's garage sizes....back in the day my Mom had a Pontiac Executive ~ a big ol long car, that actually fit in the garage we had then. These days I would be hard pressed to fit a Ford F150 in it. You must have a tiny garage!!
DeleteBut when you have 100 degrees you don't get 96% humidity do you? I would think it would be arid there. wrong? We too had 100 yesterday. Then the dreaded "feels like" temp. Why must they do that? Do you have a CarMax there? Great place to buy a new car (used) I got a honda there for my first purchase and it was 1 yr old. I have purchased 5 vehicles from them and it's a pleasure to buy with no hassles or sales people to negotiate with.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is very dry. I'm glad we don't live in Texas anymore where we had lots of humidity. We do have a CarMax, and I may end up there..my friend swears by them too!
