Slightly sarcastic, these are my thoughts on the things going on in MY world.

On the Bright (Light) Side

Yesterday's dental appointment went very well - new dentist - so there were jitters there. Had a large, 2-sided old filling/new cavity that needed to be fixed. Turned out to be larger and deeper than he could see on the x-ray, but his numbing process was marvelous, and I never felt a thing! I didn't know for sure, but I thought he might be going to do the composite filling, despite it being a top, back tooth. So I now have a tooth that looks like it's never been touched, despite the fact of all the drilling and filling I went through! Very calm dentist, he explained everything, even drawing a picture to show why the procedure was taking longer than he had expected. He did a nice job filing and shaping the composite, even smoothing and polishing it so it feels like a regular tooth. And even checked to make sure that dental floss would go between the teeth. I'm pleased with his attention to detail, and am glad the Mister found him - plus his office is very close to our house!

Got a much better night's sleep last night. I turned in around 10 (not midnight!) and didn't wake until the alarm went off at 5 am. SG got herself up and downstairs, and since she's taking finals this week, I didn't have to pack a lunch for her. Even SB was easy to wake this morning! Didn't need to pack a lunch for myself, since we were able to enjoy some leftovers from a company luncheon yesterday. How I wish every day could start as well as this one did.

Let's hope I haven't just cursed myself (speaks the pessimistic side of me)!

GAH

Ever have one of those days that you wish you could just hit a button and start over?

This morning was one of those days. Any routine I have, or pretend to, went to heck in a handbasket.

1. A phone call at 3:48 am from my FIL to ask for assistance from the Mister - my MIL has fallen and he needs help in getting her up.

2. The dog messed on my living room carpet, after my mother took her out not much earlier in the morning. Need more time to clean this mess up. Don't have it. Lay paper towels over the spots I'll need to clean tonight.

3. I've been enjoying the warm weather, but neglecting to wear my support stockings, and my legs are showing and feeling the neglect. Got them on today, as the weather is cooler. I still don't have to like them.

4. Misplaced my cell phone in the house. Called it, and Snark-Boy found it upstairs - but tried to answer it. Why? Yelled at him, and while he was passing the phone to me, managed to drop it on my shoeless foot, where it landed on my toes! More yelling ensues and boy, do my toes hurt!!

5. My stomach is messed up - maybe due to stress - and I'm having to make multiple trips to the restroom. You're welcome for the visual.

6. Got a dental appointment to have a cavity filled this morning. Never really pleasant.

How much longer til bedtime??
