The Sun came out today....and it brought a root canal

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.
