Cha-ching!

I got my first pay stub at work today. Very, very exciting stuff. I have little to no clue as to what the millions of words and numbers and columns and the occasional minus sign mean (the minus sign is attached to a number that thought was a reimbursement from the company to me), but I checked my bank account, and there's a bunch more money in there now: so that's pretty darned cool! I will have to figure out what it all means, though. Meanwhile, part-ay.

Dentist!

Welp, a year and  a half after moving to Israel, I finally made my way to the dentist. This is something I've been dreading, and it worked out Just Fine. Thank G-d.

I went to a private practice that comes very highly recommended, and the dentist was great. Not only did he speak English, which is nice since I don't know a whole lot of Hebrew dental words, he was also very patient and soothing and good at what he does.

Moreover, even though the waiting room only has a few magazines, it also has a nice big bookshelf of Chumashim, and Gemaras, and assorted other Jewish books. That made me really happy. The Escher room (with a nice number of impossible staircases) painted on the ceiling directly over the dentist's chair was also totally awesome.

Since it's a private practice, it means they don't take insurance, but my filling was still slightly cheaper than what I paid in America with dental insurance. Ha.
