Lately, Josh and I have been enjoying the BBC Planet Earth series. I don't really have anything else to say about it, except "wow."

Mental health has been on the upswing due to an increased exposure to natural sunlight during my workday. Also, improved air circulation and presence of other human life form entities has been very nice.

This morning, I had my first dentist appointment since switching to an electric toothbrush. Before informing my dental hygenist that I had made the switch, she exclaimed about how my teeth have never before been so clean. The dentist himself was also impressed with my pearly whites.

I rode my cruiser bike to the dentist. When I got outside, I didn't realize how cold it actually was. I wasn't wearing a hat, and my ears became so cold that they were feeling very painful. Of course, then as I rode up the bit of the hill right before the dentist office, I became extremely overheated and arrived at the dentist sweating and needing a cup of water. I was early, but my hygenist seemed excited to have an early start to the day, so I sat in the dental chair without getting a sip of water, still with an elevated pulse. Once she started poking around in my mouth she asked if I would like some water...so I was a bit embarrased that maybe my mouth seemed dried out. During my cleaning, I was thinking about how dentists probably see a lot of disgusting mouths during the course of the day and I was glad that I (hopefully) was not one of those disgusting mouths.

In knitting knews, I'm working on the arms from the top-down on my Neaty. What an experiment! As I have not yet borrowed an Elizabeth Zimmerman book, ahem!, I'm winging it...knitting a bit, learning from mistakes, frogging, reknitting, frogging, and trying again with something new. My obvious statement about this experience is that picking up stitches is an ART. I've completed all of the ribbing (bottom, collar, and center w/ button holes), and picking up those stitches was a sinch. The arms, however, have been pesky buggers.
