the_rckWednesday was pretty exhausting which surprised me. I had a dental appointment in the early afternoon and ended up overwalking a bit in getting there and home again. That surprised me because the total distance I walked wasn't that great, but by the time I got home my hips were aching horribly. I'm just glad I managed not to get chilled because the tub is not currently available for soaking.
The pain persisted for the next couple of days and rather limited what I could do. Sitting still was about all that didn't hurt, but my joints tended to stiffen a bit so that getting up and moving was even harder. That meant that I never did get around to going out again in spite of having made some tentative plans to do so (I really want to try the new bus route out to the grocery store and pharmacy just so it'll be familiar to me when I really need to use it).
The dental appointment itself was pretty straightforward. I got my teeth cleaned, and the dentist informed me that I have no cavities, just a bit of a receding gum line. I did end up accidentally leaving my bite splint behind. They'd taken it for cleaning, and we all forgot about it. One of the dental assistants dropped it by my house on her way home (which rather demonstrates why I like this dentist and her staff) after work. Given that it had taken me about an hour to get all the way home, I was just as pleased not to have to go out again to retrieve the stupid thing.
Later that day, LunarGeography came over so that we could finally watch the DVD of the Evangelion movie that Laura and Drew had lent us a few weeks before. We'd been putting it off because neither of us were that crazy about the series in general. We didn't hate it; we just didn't fall in love with it. I found it rather... incoherent, to be honest. The movie (there are actually two, but we didn't watch the first one. Drew'd summed it up as half series recap and half preview for the second movie. It seemed like something we could skip) left us both feeling rather like we'd wasted our time. I suspect that we understood it better than we might have because we'd listened when Drew opined that the movie was "a big fuck you to the fans." Basically, the creative team seems to have put in everything that the fans demanded and then twisted it so that it wasn't really what the fans wanted.
