I got my eyes checked. Didn't realize it had been five years. My prescription changed on the near vision, but not on the distance vision. I either mess up the far vision for the sake of the near vision, or get bifocals. I'm not really having trouble with my near vision (as the optometrist said, I have long arms, for reading), so I'm taking the third option - not changing.

Went to my new dentist today. Did the initial paperwork and consultation and got a full set of x-rays. Seems like a decent guy. Has already spoken to me more than my previous dentist has in the last ten years. And explained stuff. I go back next monday for the cleaning, and he'll present some options for a cracking tooth.

My last dentist capped a cracked tooth without showing justification to the insurance company, which cost me money. And I had a little trouble with his artwork on the crowns. He always left them too high. His hygienist was funny. She was always just so gosh darn happy and talkative. She annoyed a lot of people, because she talked like she's talking to a kindergartner. Not the subjects, but her voice. I didn't mind. The receptionist sounded disappointed when I told her I was canceling my appointment because I was switching dentists, but she didn't ask why.

I wonder how long it's been since I had a physical.
