Yesterday I accrued yet another black box: you know how some
women have several little black boxes with jewelry to go along with their LBDs,
well that’s just not me.
In addition to the glass case and the hearing aid case, I am
now the proud possessor of the “night guard” case. Effectively having lost one molar due to
clenching my teeth at night, which caused the old filling to finally crack the
molar in two, I went to the dentist to discuss saving the other lower molar. If you grind your teeth at night,
a special mouth guard-type of dental appliance -- called a nocturnal bite plate
or bite splint -- may be created to prevent tooth damage Thus I added a black
box to my life. Now, instead of having jewelry worth $1’000s, I wear at various
times of the day what I am going to label “accessories for a better life” worth
just as many thousands.
The
three M’s: returning from the dentist I stopped at the doctor’s as I suspected
a possible ITU, which was confirmed leaving me with a prescription for antibiotics
needing to be filled. By then it was
nearing noon and ever since our return from the mountains, my housemate and I
hadn’t really done much shopping, relying instead upon one or the other to
propose a solution for lunch agreeable to both.
Thus it was that I came up with Marronniers (the restaurant of choice
for most of our outings), McDonald’s (in case anyone felt like “sinning") and
Maison, which in French simply means “home, dig something out of the freezer”,
but I needed an M so couldn’t use house. Before arriving home I thought of
the Migros (the local grocery store, in
a mini mall with a pharmacy) as well. I
asked my housemate which M she wanted to eat at, whereupon she replied Mikado?
Manor?... thus quickly adding two more M’s. We now have a week’s worth of
places to eat all starting with M, but for yesterday:
We
decided that we both were craving hamburgers, so off we went to Les Marronniers (got
you there didn’t I?) where we enjoyed the gourmet version of a classic.
It was
truly the best hamburger that I have ever eaten!
