OMG, healthcare in this state sucks! I liked the dentist but her office staff was a joke. When Tom made an appointment with my dentist, they said they were in-network with my new dental plan. Then I get there, they take the X-rays and scale most of my teeth, only to tell me they don't accept my plan. They wanted us to pay $150. When they looked up who we talked to when we called to confirm that they took the new plan, they didn't have any notes on it at all. Stupid idiots! I was so pissed that we just walked out of there. So I got free X-rays and a free partial cleaning that would have otherwise cost $40 with the dental plan.

I already have an appointment with a new dentist. She's in the same area as the other one and she's from here, so she should be easy enough to understand—not that I couldn't understand my old dentist's Brazilian accent. I won't be seeing her until July since I was just seen and it was verified that I don't have any cavities. She did say I had a couple of large fillings that may eventually need to be crowned.

This is another somewhat large group, but hopefully, they can keep their act together until they too are no longer in-network. Damn, I'm sick of this network crap! You would think by now they would have learned how much of a hassle it puts on the patients.

So now I miss the last dentist I saw in Cali as well as my old ENT in that state.

Tom decided to use the 40-inch TV as a monitor for a month. Then, when Black Friday rolls around, he's going to get a 4K monitor.

Before, he was using a 24-inch monitor, and he gave it to me to use in the bedroom, and I love it! So much easier to see. The only thing missing is the touchscreen.

Anyway, I'll only use the desktop in the kitchen when I'm eating since that desk has more space.

Miss Be Happy's deck is done. It's just a raised platform; there are no railings or anything.

Wonder what she'll do next. She's had her windows replaced, her driveway widened, her front yard landscaped, and no doubt plenty more.
