My oldest niece and I send each other links to songs we're currently vibing to fairly often, labeled "song of the day," and here was yesterday's song of the day: Siouxsie and the Banshees' cover of Dear Prudence.

This evening, I enjoyed Justin Verlander warming up to "Till I Collapse". Hopefully I will enjoy this game as well - that is not guaranteed with how bad the Mets have been lately.

I had a 9:30 am dental appointment this morning and I was afraid I was going to be late so I called to give them a heads up and they tried to tell me to come back at 11 am. Like, I am on my way into the city for this! I am not hanging around for 90 minutes! I made it by 9:40 and had the fastest cleaning I've ever had in my life. The trip home was a lot less fraught, and I was at my desk by 11 am. Normally I try to schedule dental appointments for when I'm in the office, since they're only a few stops away from each other, and back in November, I was scheduled to be in today, but the schedule has undergone multiple revisions and I was not going to be in today. I do have to go in next Tuesday, but next Thursday's meeting was switched to video only so I don't have to schlep in twice in one week.

Anyway, in order to make the 9:30 appt, I had to get up earlier than I do on days when I work from home, so of course I woke up an hour before that and then wondered if I hadn't set the alarm properly or something but it did eventually go off. Sigh. And I went to bed at a reasonable hour and everything! This weather has been good for sleeping, so I'm trying to enjoy it while I can.
