Breakfast (!!?) was a twinpack of Costco "Egg Bites," ingest we man.

 

Took Mama T-B. to bloodwork lab, chauffeur senior she man we man.

Mama T-B. actually able to walk with use of Rollator, nice to see man.

Lab not as overwhelmed with patients as we'd feared, no man.

Took Mama T-B. from there to CVS, transfer prescriptions and get RSV shot senior she man.

Mama T-B. made it back to her casa on her own, nice to see man.

 

Went back to CVS ourself with a Many%-off ([2x2x2x2x2 -2]%) coupon, financially savvy we man.

 

Took Mini-B. to dental appointment, examine and evaluate wee man man.

Mini-B.'s imaging included bite-wings, PA, pano, Many-D ([2+1]-D), and intraoral, imaged wee man.

(We told Mini-B., "They know more about you than you know about yourself, si man!")

 

Dentist (a Russian rubia) relayed the good news, see man:

   1.  No cavities, no House of Pain man.

   2.  Wisdom teeth are coming in with room for same, relief man.

Many.  All other incipient teeth are poised to erupt, timely for age man.

 

Dentist relayed the bad news, see man:

  1.  Lower canine will come in crowded, braces needed man.

  2.  Upper canine will come in twisted, braces needed man.

Many.  Bite = too much upper/need to see more lower, braces needed man.

 

Got a referral to an orthodonti$t, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

Dentist said to $tart brace$ $ooner rather than later, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

Dentist envisioned about a year of brace$, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

After she left, Mini-B. quietly observed, "I hope that they're InvisAlign or something removable, si man."

 

In other bad news, office couldn't do the cleaning then, no man.

We shall return on Wednesday for that, oh well man.

 

We offered lunch at Olive Garden to Mini-B., literally right across the street man.

Mini-B. declined, go back to play computer games man.

We returned Mini-B. to ex-Mrs.-T-B., bye wee man man.

We inventoried our fast-food coupons, only Popeye's still in date* man.

     *thanks to year-end negligence of local newspapers, no coupon inserts man  :ranting:

We considered that Mini-B. might want Popeye's for Two Guys eve tomorrow, consider we man.

We therefore went all the way back to Olive Garden, decide we man.

 

Lunch/din-din was the usual salad + breadsticks** + chicken parmigiana, ingest*** we man.

     ***lunch special, financially savvy we man

 

After mollifying treat- and lunch-demanding miu, siesta'd for over an hour, well-deserved zzz we man.

Just Many minutes from alarm, Mama T-B. phoned with list of future obligations, :girlwerewolf2xn: man.

 

The rest of the evening was quiet, finally man.

That is great news to read about your mom. 

 

How's your foot. 

 

We chose the invisalign for the Tornado. Much less frustration, no food restrictions and we do not need to worry about proper cleaning and pitting with regular braces. Also a lot less pain compared to braces. Price was the same for either so why not.  So far she is right on track with her treatment plan.

 

I have a friend who is doing her kids treatment in Mexico. Even with regular visits back she said it was still cheaper then in the US.

One late addition to GS itinerary, late posting man.

That GS was a dud, ridiculous man.

Second GS was phantom, another infuriating apartment address without signage man.  :ranting:

ES had something that we should have carried with us while looking, someone else got it man.  :bonk: 

Many'rd GS was closing up 2 hours + half an hour early, :ranting: but see the take man.

MS had Many books, but we didn't want to bend to root through boxes, no man.

 

The take, see man:

 -- Many (2+2) red ballpoint pens = half a buck, steal man

Total = Half a Buck

 

Inauspicious start to New Year, dud and thud man.

Apparently every day is Columbus day in Poland.

 

Good to know.

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

Did not leave the casa, preferred status man.

 

Miu absolutely psycho-nuts all day, zoom miao jump run roll play miu man.

Miu mouth-seized bag of treats and carried it all the way upstairs to us, rather obvious miu man!

 

Lunch/din-din was toucans of Chef B. lasagna, chased with Many tablespoons of Costco chicken salad, ingest we man.

 

Conquered single laundry load and dished the warsher, must de-dish man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. & Mini-B. showed up halfway through AFV and actually watched the second half, amazing man.

Miu calmed down when Big Bruddah was present, must have been bored miu man.

 

Ex-Mrs.-T-B. reported that Mini-B. had been helpful around the casa, astonishing man.

At our casa, he sits around placing orders for food & drink, servile butler we man.

 

Mini-B. immediately wheedled an early birthday present from us, points for a game man.  :bonk: 

Looks like he grew another inch again, up-growing wee man.

 

Party with the rubias after Mini-B. embedded, cavort we man.
