Nina has a new assignment at the Idaho Falls Temple which means she needs to be there earlier than “normal” to get things ready for the day at the Temple to start. Right now that means leaving 15 minutes earlier than usual. In a couple of months it’ll mean leaving fifteen minutes earlier than that. In about four months it’ll mean trimming off another 15 minutes of sleep. At least we get to do it incrementally.

The dental plan we subscribe to closed their offices in Pocatello meaning that we have to go to the office in Idaho Falls. They’ve done pretty good work for me, so we stayed with them after the office in Pocatello closed. If possible, I schedule my dentist appointments on Friday’s after we’ve finished our shift at the Temple. I go in every four months for a cleaning and a checkup. Today was one of those visits. The dental office is closed for lunch, we get out of the Temple around 11:45 am, meaning we have to kill about an hour. We usually don’t have anything else to do, so we go to the Barnes and Noble store in Idaho Falls and browse through the store. It’s really hard to do that without finding something that we absolutely have to have. As usual, we exchanged money for a book and two magazines. I keep thinking that if I had an iPad, I wouldn’t be buying any more books in book form. Maybe next year.

TTFN!
