Doctors, secretaries, I'm LOST
I'm trying to be better about keeping up with doctor's visits. I went to the dentist for the first time in 2 1/2 years by my best estimate (I was living at my mom's house at the time, around summer 2007). I needed 8 fillings, I was so upset, I felt like I failed my teeth. I've had my share of dental work with braces, retainers, and wisdom teeth extractions, but I only had one cavity in my whole life and that was in a baby tooth! Then I started to get paranoid, like maybe this dentist is too aggressive or too cautious and I don't really need it. He says I really need it... I got 3 filled today, it was simple except for the initial novacaine shot that hurt like a bitch. The dentist didn't make me feel bad or anything, he didn't say anything judgmental, it's just me being silly. But I really worried about this new dentist because I went from no problems to 8 in just over 2 years, can that happen?
I need to see the eye doctor too. I feel like I'm having a quarter life crisis or something, my teeth are going, my eyesight is going, what happened? I've been trying to exercise and get in better shape to combat the feeling that I'm getting old and lazy. I think it's working because I've gotten three compliments in the past couple of weeks that I look good. I've also been trying to count calories. That started as an experiment because I had never considered what I ate before and I assumed I ate the right amount of calories a day. I was so wrong. I got my estimated intake needs for my age, weight, and height of about 1800-1900. I was eating like 400 more than that everyday, whoops. It just made me aware of what was going on. I'd hate to say I'm dieting, its more like I'm sticking to what my body needs without going over.
Also, I'm loving Netflix. I saw Secretary last night, which I have been meaning to see for about 8 years. I love Maggie Gyllenhaal and to my surprise at the end she is full-frontal naked! I was so excited that I got to see her naked, Ivo thought that was a little weird, but hot. The guy who plays Daniel Faraday in LOST is her boyfriend in this. Every time he spoke I expected him to say "we are traveling through time", or "we have to get back to the island!" He was speaking in the same soft-spoken way that he does Faraday. It was a great decision to cancel the cable and get Netflix instead. Hmmm, $80 a month and nothing worth watching, or $9.99 a month and naked Maggie Gyllenhaal and Faraday, what to choose?
