It is the end of another week! Although Kuniko has to work tomorrow, we are still planning a trip to Tokyo to see Clean Bandit in a small club, and eat at some interesting looking restaurants. We got tickets on the bullet train and we’re ready to go. It is a little rare for us to be tourists in Japan – it’ll nice to be traveling without having to worry about the language, internet connectivity, or reading the signs.
Last night after work I went to my final dentist appointment. I now have three crowns – two metal ceramic ones in my lower mouth, and one silver one in the very back of the top of my mouth. I checked the records and I’ve been going to the dentist almost weekly since May of this year. I’m looking forward to a long break from visiting the dentist office. The dentist asked me to come in next week just to see how things are going, but I told him that I was busy and said maybe next month. But I doubt I’ll go in. I’ll start regular dental cleaning and checkups with a new dentist, maybe starting in March. He was recommended by the president of my company so hopefully he is better than the last guy. I’ll keep the old dentist’s number, just in case any emergencies come up. This was a long process and I had no idea it would last as long as it did. It’s good to be free – maybe I’ll celebrate with some jawbreakers at Christmas.
