The end of the year medical stuff...

It's the end of the year and I'm planning to take a few days off. Not as an official vacation, but a day here and there. Company policy is vacation doesn't roll over and they don't pay the days and allow you to continue to work. Hopefully, it will be slower at the office in the next few weeks. Some of my coworkers will be doing the same. I cannot afford to be out more than a day or two with no one to 'oil the machine' while I'm gone. So, a day here and there should work out fine.

With a few 3 day weekends, I'll use the time to move to my new condo. Painting, moving furniture, setting up storage for things and moving my home office. Oh, my back is beginning to ache from the thought of all the work needed before the end of the month.

Part of my year-end rituals is to have medical tests. Physical exams, blood work, etc. My wife went for a mammogram last month and the all important mail-in poop colon cancer screening tests have been completed by both of us!

Earlier this year, I decided to have 3 teeth crowned. Thinking I could have the best fit with them done in one session proved wrong. I had 2 removed last week and go back next week for the replacements. I'm not sure if it was the fault of the dentist making the impressions or the laboratory who actually cut the teeth, but the dentist did a lot of grinding before setting them in place. I was unhappy with the results. Several trips back making adjustments wasn't enough to satisfy me. I switched to a new dental team and there is money still available on my insurance plan, so I'm taking advantage of the 'use it or lose it' this calendar year.

That reminds me, I need to add to my 'Do List' to rewrite my do list.
