So the weatherman was right - the sun did come out today and temps got into the mid-60s. It was a beautiful "spring" day, one meant for the park or a walk on the beach.
Instead, based on the sadness I still feel from the weekend's events - and I promise to fill in soon, but just cannot write about it now - I celebrated with having a root canal done. Last Friday, after our washing machine spewed water and the repair cost a pretty penny, I headed to the dentist with what I thought was a cracked old filling in need of repair. I was told "Oh no - the filling is still there, but it was a part of your tooth that fell out. You need a root canal and then posts for a crown. And I suggest you get it done ASAP".
"But but but - Mr. Dentist - we may have to be out of town for a couple weeks on a big exciting family event!"
Sunday - No big family event to happen. Monday - crawl into work and call for appointment. Tuesday - 9am root canal and day spent wallowing in self-pity in bed. Co-pay for a root canal is not the $10 standard either...more like 23x that. And the work isn't done yet.
*sigh* Going to go read my daughter a book - throbbing head and all.
I figured, while I already felt crappy, why not feel totally crappy and get the root canal done. Maybe I'll be feeling more cheery as the week progresses- supposed to remain in the 60s and sunny. I need to sit and feel it on my face.
OH- I am doing the giveaway this week. Someone please tell me a funny story to lift my spirits! I so need it.
I have a fabulous story for you....but you may need to be my friend on Facebook to get the full effect. (I have a video there. ;-)) My 15 month old son disappeared into his big sisters room, and came back...with a satin Snow White costume. Which he wanted to wear. And then he wanted to twirl around. And leap. And cavort. He thought it was awesome. His Daddy...well, the jury is still out on that one. ;-) (I'm serious - shoot me an e-mail, and you can see the video. *grin*)
ReplyDeleteOkay story. Today I fell. In front of all my coworkers and all the kids. I fell flat on my behind on the blacktop after being hit square in the forehead with a soccer ball... so I laughed! My kids looked at me like I was the craziest person in the world and I needed help. It was awesome! Hopefully they see that you can either be embarrassed, or you can laugh. I prefer the laughter!
ReplyDeleteLolo and Rose - thanks you SO much! I'll send my email...each story made me smile. Rose - oh yes, laughter is the best medicine! Especially to laugh at oneself....
