Okay, still on my mission to max out my health benefits from my company. I went to the dentist today and I got 5 x-rays and a cleaning. After the cleaning from the dental technician, the doctor came in and (I don't hide anything I told everyone there that my insurance was to expire on the last day of the month) the doctor came in and check things out with my teeth and told me that I needed two restorations (deep cavities) and two wisdom teeth pulled out. Ugh. Okay, okay. So I made an appointment for Monday at 11am for this "major surgery". I asked the doctor if he thought I needed any more follow ups after Monday's appointment and he said, "Once we get that done, you are good to go for a long time". I was happy about that, but Monday isn't here, and I just dread going to the dentist, but I'll survive.

I cleaned out my car today. 8 years of company crap built up inside my car. Old log books, training material, employee handbook, more rule books, sweatshirts, t-shirts, baseball caps all my the company name on them. All went into a trash bag today. Actually I tried to stuff it all into one trash bag, but didn't succeed, so two trash bags it was. I just accumulated so much stuff.

I didn't really do much after that. Mom and I went out for lunch this afternoon and taking advantage of lunch specials at restaurants are alot of fun :) I think I have to curb my spending just a tad, but I haven't been that bad about spending money; today's lunch for two came to $17.17, and that's all the money I leisurely spent. The dentist cost me $100 today due to a deductible, and I was told for everything that will be done on Monday the bill shouldn't be higher than $150. I can't complain about that.

Tonight I'm having corn on the cob at home and watching TV. I'm trying to be a little productive everyday this week with the more serious stuff (medical, dental, employment securities claim, etc.), next week I'm bound to have some fun. Have a nice night.
