Raeyn<p>Alas, the holiday break is over, and we're back to work. Well, me back tomorrow, but I still had to do getting back on my normal schedule stuff like waking up semi-reasonably, and washing my hair on the right day of the week. So tick, tick. Main thing I need to do still today is call to book a dental check-up... which I'll try to think about and maybe not end up doing until tomorrow, ha ha. We'll see. </p><p>I'm not going to avoid booking it because I was *super* lucky to get an NHS dental slot, and I'm the only one in the family that does (I needed a denture repair and happened to walk past one by work that was taking patients). </p><p>It makes me upset that dental care is quickly becoming a US style luxury here, with the lack of available NHS slots. There's a lot of kind of meh shrug from wealthier folx who can go private, and presume everyone else can afford the same. For example, a routine check-up for an NHS patient is £27.40; the private at my dentist is £60 (which doesn't include any x-rays that need doing). The cost for denture work goes up thrice the NHS cost and starts at like, £900. </p><p>So, yeah. The current government makes the occasional noise about making it better, but they're fucking awful, horrible people, sooo I'd trust my cat to give me dental care before any of them.</p><p>Right. On to funner news. My new sculpture from <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://sunny.garden/@moonrabbit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>moonrabbit</span></a></span> is here, and now parked up with his friend that she also made, a lil chicken. They live just under my monitor and bring me loads of joy.</p><p>I've also got a few days of bonus cats. I'm cat-sitting for the neighbour, as they do for us when we go away. I've yet to see their tom, Tyson Furry, but I have seen Wednesday (babycat), and Tyson's sister Wookie. I'm sure I can spot them in my back garden if I go out there though, ha ha. They think it's their garden too since we have a lack of fence currently, and we're more than fine with that.</p><p><a href="https://toot.cat/tags/deardiary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>deardiary</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/dailylog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dailylog</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/nhsrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nhsrant</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cats</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/catsofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>catsofmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/babycatwednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>babycatwednesday</span></a></p>
