Thursday
Today was the day…
I went through to the orthodontist’s rooms to have casts made for a retainer. I gave myself 45 minutes to get there which was wise because I encountered this: a police car had rolled at the bottom of Clairvoux Rd, Kalk Bay.
I still managed to get to my appointment on time. I didn’t see the orthodontist, but his oral hygienist – it just is one more appointment down. God willing, this time next week I will have had my braces off! The staff at Dr. Strydom’s are so very friendly. Davika and Bronwyn…they run a well oiled ship.
Next official appointment is on Tuesday when I go to the cosmetic dentist. He puts on the temporary crown and then Thursday the braces come off. An hour and a quarter long appointment. That’s what’s scheduled.
On the way home, I stopped at the Blue Route and did some Christmas shopping. I’m glad to have got that started.
Home to work. Then a little later on, Mike and I went out for a little grocery shopping.
Last night, we watched the first part of Pride and Prejudice (the 1995 BBC version). This evening we will watch part two!
Tonight the President speaks. We are pretty sure some degree of lockdown is coming to the Western Cape. Covid numbers are up. If a hard lockdown comes, my braces won’t come off in a week hey!? We should know tonight.
Covid numbers in the Western Cape –1411 new cases over the last 24 hours.

We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
The best is yet to come.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
