We had dentist appointments this morning…in Dearborn.  That’s 50+ miles from where we now live, and we try to schedule our appointments to avoid the rush hours at the beginning and end of the workday.  We had 11:00 AM appointments about a month ago but had to reschedule because we were both ill.  The next available appointments (together) were today at 9:30 and 10:30 AM.  We had to leave the house at 8:00 AM which put us in the late morning rush.  (The morning rush starts by 7:00 AM and usually thins out by 9:00 AM unless there is an accident or really bad weather-related road conditions.)  From where we live if we need to head into the Detroit metropolis we try to leave by 6:30 AM or wait until 9:00 AM if possible.  Unfortunately that is not practical or possible if we need to be somewhere between 8:30 and 9:30 AM.

We were both scheduled for the same procedures involving work on multiple teeth.  Unfortunately Linda developed a problem with a tooth during the rally last week and needed that looked at first.  It turned out that she broke a molar that was mostly filling and will need a crown.  She goes back next week for the prep and then has to return at least three weeks after that for the crown plus all of the work she was supposed to have done today.  The purpose of plans is so we have something to do each day in case nothing else presents itself, which it almost always does.

We did not eat breakfast before our appointments and had to wait for the local anesthetic to wear off afterwards before we could eat.  We did not accomplish much beyond our appointments other than some time spent at our desks.  We had “lunner” (or “linner”) around 3:00 PM and vegan cupcakes with strawberries around 6:30 PM.

At 7:00 PM (EDT) we participated in an RVillage webinar for prospective RVillage Ambassadors.  We were already approved for this role based on our interactions with Curtis Coleman, the founder and CEO of RVillage and the RV Friend Network, but wanted to participate like everyone else.  Curtis, along with Hillary Murray, were online for an hour and 20 minutes explaining the “why, what, and how” of the ambassador program.  Hillary will run the program and be our main point of contact.  After the webinar we turned in early and watched an episode of Doc Martin from season two.
