The song just flew onto the turntable on my mental jukebox as soon as those first four words were in the air!
I even sang the words back to the clerk, but she was too young to know them.
Not so for me!
I've known of that tune since I was a little girl.
I can't say that I know "See You In September" by the original group that did it in 1959, but my 8-year-old self definitely was familiar with the 1966 hit by The Happenings.
Mama and Daddy liked to sing along with the radio, and so do I.
(smile!)
The time for my teeth to be cleaned was actually in December, but it was too cold outside so I had to reschedule and today was the earliest they could do.
I've been fairly lax about flossing, and the dental hygienist took me to task about it.
Kelly also got onto me about my faulty brushing technique.
Apparently, the larger head on my new toothbrush isn't letting me clean well enough in the front and center of my mouth.
In other words, my gums were tender and bloody this time around.
Ouch.
Today's bite wing X-rays revealed another issue of the faulty brushing: two new cavities.
They were on my right canine and the tooth to its right.
Dr. Emily Husted-Saffer was not happy to see those new cavities, but at least she didn't chide me about them.
Speaking of her, I was on the phone for an hour with UHC Medicare on Tuesday.
I'd checked online to make sure she was in-network... and found her name missing, though everyone else at that clinic was listed.
As it turns out, it was her married name change that gummed up the works.
(I had to throw in that little joke! So punny!!!)
(smile!)
The song came up because September is the soonest they can schedule the two fillings.
That song reassured me that it was as it needed to be.
Right place, right time...
leaving me and the clerk with smiles on our faces!
How many people can say that about a trip to the dentist?
(smile!)
