Here's
what I've done since Monday the 27th. On February 27, it
was a poor day overall. I went to a new dentist. Back in January I
explained how my old dentist retired so some new guy took over the
operation. Things happen, and it was decided that I'd go somewhere
else instead. A neighbor recommended this place so it was decided
that'd be the place to go. It is a nice modern place and I can't
complain about the assistant who cleaned & examined my teeth nor
the actual dentist herself... although for some reason, I ended up
not being happy with how I had to sit in the dentist's chair for like
a half hour by myself with no one coming back and no one telling me
where everyone is or what's going on or what the delay was... I did
not say anything about it but it was not the best first impression.
Shame, as I otherwise had no issues. Sure, I have always been blessed
with not the best body (including my teeth) and now some of my old
dental work is starting to fall apart, which I am not happy about....
it's a day I'd like to forget about.
Tuesday,
I did nothing but Wednesday I went to the local bank then to Walmart.
That was standard. Thursday, I did something neat: I went to the
Flower & Garden Festival at Epcot at Walt Disney World. There's
always pretty scenery whenever they have that festival so I was happy
to walk around and almost literally stop and smell the roses. There
are also various food booths set up and I was delighted the one
devoted to China brought back the candied strawberries, which are
very good. Near Canada they offered something known as a “maple
popcorn shake.” I had to try it as I was puzzled. It is a shake
made with maple liquor and it is garnished with some maple popcorn
kernels. Strange, but it was actually pretty good. For the first time
in years, I went to the resort area right by Epcot, where they have
several hotels, including the Yacht Club Resort, the Beach Club
Resort, and the BoardWalk Inn. I ate at the ESPN Club there; they
made decent food. So yeah, I got plenty of exercise via walking on
this day.
Friday
I did nothing but Saturday, I went to a place I hadn't been to in
almost 2 months: the World of Beer, and it was the one right in town.
I had some darker European beers as I saw Illinois State University
play a conference tournament game against Southern Illinois
University; ISU won by 13 but for much of the game it wasn't even
that close. I then ate dinner at Jersey Mike's and had a beverage
from a brand new Planet Smoothie that is next door. Sunday, I watched
ISU at home as they lost the conference tournament championship to
Wichita State. It'd be nice if Illinois State could still make the
NCAA Tournament but it probably won't happen, so it'll be the lesser
NIT instead. It wasn't the original plan but I went to Culver's for
dinner and I brought home food as I saw parts of the Orlando City SC
soccer game. They now have a new stadium which just opened. Sometime
this year I'll visit it.
When
I return a week from today... I have some ideas in mind as to what
activities I'll be participating in.
