Typical Monday

Standard

I am in total agreement with The Carpenters who sang-‘rainy day and Mondays always get me down’.
I got up really early thinking the dentist opened at 8:30 and they would call me then. Seems they do, but they don’t take calls until 9. I called them at 9:30 and got in at 11. Ugh. Too much too soon. And I have to get a crown. Dr. B took too much of my cracked tooth off and the temp popped off at dinner tonight. He said I needed to come back if that happened. I think I’m getting Fixadent! I have to put up with that until the 29th? I’ll be eating pudding and mashed potatoes by then-or going bonkers. And I have so much dental work on the bottom left (the new tooth will go on the upper right), that the food is getting between the gums there. And I won’t discuss the price. I think all my crowns added up would have almost paid for Sean’s used car by now. Funny, one of the dentists has an awesome vintage car he is restoring. I know I helped pay for that.
After I ate soup-which I am hoping didn’t loosen the glue, I sorted out the Christmas lights. Anybody need any? I think I have as many as they do at Longwood Gardens! I then put on my dust mask and worked an hour on my ‘rearranging of the holiday deco on the shelves’ project. Trouble-the dust kept getting in my eyes. Bri knocked a wall down next to the shelves last year (who would build a wall in front of 12 feet of shelves) and just let the dry wall dust go all over my stuff. I didn’t want to touch it, but now I have to as it’s driving me crazy. I managed to irritate my left boo boo ankle and could barely put weight on it when I came upstairs. I have it wrapped up and it’s better tonight.
So, I’m hoping for a better Tuesday! Send me good vibes!
My mom has a terrible chest cold and I feel like I should be doctoring her. All her cold stuff is outdated. She buys 150 pairs of socks, and doesn’t keep her cold meds up to date. I really don’t need a chest cold with a tooth that could pop out at any second. I look like I did at age 8!

  1. Dianne, you’ve really had a tough time of it lately! Hope today is much better for you.

    I feel the same pain paying the orthodontist and dentist. We’ve surely paid for a ski chalet for the orthodontist – six kids have gone through his office, one more on her way. 😦

  2. SInce you’re helping pay for the restoration of your dentist’s vintage car, I say tell him you deserve to drive it once in a while once it’s ready! hehe Poor you, I don’t envy you all the dental work, as well as the cost. Ugh! I do hope your last couple of days have gone better. xoxo
