I’m writing this entry from my home in Riverside. It’s a three-day weekend so naturally, I wanted to spend it with my family. I had an appointment yesterday with my local dentist Jagruti. I got some work done on a tooth and I also got a cleaning done. I’m excited because for my next visit she told me we’re going to be taking my bonded retainer off and after that I’ll only need a regular retainer. Ever since I had my braces taken off in highschool I’ve basically had a wire glued onto the back of my upper and lower teeth. It’s a huge pain in the butt, but all that’s going to be over soon. My favorite song for past couple months has been, “Alison” by Slowdive. They’re a little-known band from the 90’s that have risen to prominence because of how popular the shoegaze genre has become in recent years. When I discover a new favorite song, sometimes I like to google the meaning behind the lyrics. This song is about a girl. The singer speaks in the past tense because, she’s gone, and their relationship is already over, but he still remembers how he felt in the moments they shared together. LCS has been pretty exciting lately. Last Saturday, was our event at the Gary and Mary West Senior Center. We had a ton of different booths and a raffle at the end of it all. Seniors took photos, played games (sometimes entirely for raffled tickets), and even got to take home little succulent plants with them. At one point I noticed a couple seniors standing around, so I brought some chairs out for them. They got occupied pretty quickly and I promptly patted myself on the back for that one. This Wednesday we also carried out age friendliness assessments of Barrio Logan. I thought the neighborhood was pretty nice, but Chicano Park was absolutely beautiful. I even took a couple of pictures.
