The dentist probably wants to keep you grilling. ;-)

When I finally got inside it made no sense. I got tired of sitting there and was getting a migraine so I was just going to go home, since I have no love of going to the dentist in the first place, with a migraine makes it worse. But I decided to give it one more call and see what happened and this time they answered. I asked if they got my message I was in the parking lot and she said yes, they've been trying to call me back but haven't been able to get me. She said they've been calling the number they have listed as my main number, which is my home phone number. I asked if they had my cell phone number and she said yes, but it's not listed as the main contact phone. This sounds idiotic. Did they think I called them from the parking lot and then ran home to answer my "main phone" when they called me to come to the door? Shouldn't it just have made sense to call the cell phone knowing I was sitting in the parking lot? She said they could see me out there, but still they were calling my home phone. The virus must have affected people's minds, I know it has mine.

Also, they held the door open for me to come in and took my temperature at the door. When I was leaving I was about to get to the door when the girl at the desk called for me to stop she had to come and open the door for me. I asked if it was locked and she said patients aren't allowed to touch the door. That was a first for me.

And I had an appointment with my neurologist on Tuesday that lasted at least an hour, I wasn't really timing it. I was sitting on my bed away from noise and he was at his house for it. By the time I get used to having doctor appointments on the computer screen we will all have had the vaccine, there will be a treatment that works for Covid and we won't have to do it anymore.

What a crazy story, Kim. I would have politely asked the receptionist who it was she donated the lion's share of her brain, the one that has all the common sense in it, to.

I am working online a lot now, e.g. talking with teacher-trainees about lessons they would have done in class and how they think the students would have reacted and all that. I always loved being out and about in my job, and at the moment I am spending far too much time in front of a screen - but it can't be helped. I will never grow used to it, though.
