Except for that fact that my mother chooses the earliest time possible for us to go (9 am, what joy is mine :-P ), it's quite an enjoyable experience. As I wait for my sister to go first, I flip through National Geographic magazines (including the kid's ones!), and the outdoor magazines too... they always have some great stuff in there. When it's finally my turn, I get the pleasure of laying in a chair for what feels like a nap as the nicest hygienist cleans my teeth. Her smooth voice quietly comments on how little work she has to do because my teeth are already so clean. I fail to see how that could be so, I must just be lucky... I'm the queen of forgetting to floss or even brush! She asks about school, what my plans are for university and what I want to do there, and how my older sister is doing. The leisurely conversation between her, another hygienist, and the dentist includes chat of the Royal Wedding, how the dentist's son is doing on his choir trip, and some office gossip. I particularly loved the wedding conversation :-P After the hygienist is done the dentist himself comes in to check for more serious issues, of which he inevitably does not find.
When my turn is done, I get to wait a full hour for my mom to have her turn. Cue more magazine perusing. The end of our visit is unfortunate, for now I have to go back to the real world.

I have lately found myself addicted to BBC movies, set in the early 1800's. I spent all of last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday watching most of the ones we own with my mom! That was a crazy long weekend :-P My favourites are Cranford, Wives and Daughters, and North and South. I love old British movies for how proper everyone was. No one was selfish outwardly, that would be rude; all of the men were complete gentlemen no matter their age (LOVED that!); their accents are to be envied; their use of language and the long conversations they had thanks to their social skills preventing a long, awkward silence. I think I was born in the wrong century :-P

Hey Caitlin,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! Yeah, I'll be fine =). It's not that I've never been away from my mom that long, I mean I've been away from her for 2 weeks before. Its just weird not having her here at home, that is why I miss her more than I would if I was away. If that makes sense. But I have lots to do for the next few weeks, so I have something to keep my mind busy ;).
Hope your doing well! Tty soon!
God Bless! <3
Katie
