Biscotti
UPDATE: I had both a dentist appointment and a physical today. I feel like I’ve been prodded from all possible angles.
My beloved Dr. Fung has left River City Dental Care and is now working on his MBA. The new dentist looked about 22. I am annoyed by being treated by health care professionals who are obviously younger than me. He was ok, but he was no Dr. Fung. One thing I don’t like about the new guy is that he said I have a very small cavity. It’s no big deal, apparently, but I do have to have it filled next month. Grr.
At the doctor, I had to get a tetanus shot. Sheesh. I wasn’t expecting it; they just looked at my chart and said I had to have one. I was very brave, though. I only felt a little dizzy and didn’t pass out at all. My arm is kind of sore. I might have to skip the weight-lifting part of tonight’s workout.

Denny finally posted a picture of the biscotti I made for the Olympics party a few weeks ago. He also has some really nice pics from the Grand Canyon that he took on his recent roadtrip. First link takes you to Denny’s main page, where the biscotti and Grand Canyon are recent posts. Second takes you straight to biscotti.
I’m sleepy.
I’ve been living a lazy, gluttonous lifestyle. It started when I got sick, which lingered forever and disrumpled my exercise routine. Then I went to London and ate a lot of heavy food and drank a lot of beer. Then I came home and never managed to kick my butt back into healthiness again.
TODAY IS THE DAY. I shall run fast and eat light.
That looks very yummy. It’s a very nice picture too.
May I use “Disrumpled?” That word made me giggle.
The biscotti look delicious.
You certainly may. It’s one of my favorites. It sounds like it means “undisturbed,” but it doesn’t. It means “crappified” or “irritated” or “grumpy” or whatever negative adjective applies in the situation.
Thanks for the biscotti compliments!
It’s like the opposite of a lost positive. Sorta.
I feel “crappified.” I have been sick all weekend… I guess I should have taken that Airborne stuff, huh? At least I didn’t get it in London!
I’m sorry to hear that, Em. Thanks for the nice note–I got it today. I had a great time with you too! I hope you feel better soon.
I also went to Dr. Fung. He rocked.
Before that I had a left handed dentist and I guess that was a really big deal because all the assistants complained that they had to move everything around for her. I didn’t like her tho’ because she filled two cavities and they feel like she didn’t do a very good job, Rough and cavernous. I was more or less dentistless the last time I went to River City Dental. I waited and waited in the lobby and I guess they forgot me. Then I was there so long I had to leave without seeing my dentist because I had my ballroom dance class to go catch. I was happy to not see a dentist. They don’t do much but tell me I have good teeth then try to talk me into something I can’t pay for right now. Good luck with your new young stud doctor. Guess we’re getting old now that professionals are looking like shrimps to us 😉
