I should also say that we looked around at some shops today, had Indian for dinner, and then went to the ice cream shop. We're not spending the while vacation watching TV, but everything closes early here. Tomorrow were going to a museum.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

The evening I endured 2.5 hours of dental work—six fillings, three antibiotic pods in my gums, one deep cleaning, and EIGHT FRIGGING SHOTS later, my face is so numb that my left nostril and eyelid feel like they're swelling shut. I am just starting to get a little feeling in my face, and it is not pleasant. I can't open my jaw wide enough to eat a sandwich. That pizza I ordered is going to be interesting. Also, drinking soda out of a can is hilariously ineffective.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Oh, as usual, dear. Swift recovery~ma to you, Pix.

Not fun, Pix. Hope it all heals up quickly.

Damn Pix. Holy Shit.
I just had my permanent crown put in. 30-45 minutes and I was done with the dentist. You would have had to scrape me off the ceiling for 2.5 hours.

That will teach me to get lazy when it comes to dental work. Half of my face is STILL NUMB.

mini meara time
Erin, yay for geeky pilot and effective medical treatments!
sj, yay for mini-vacations! Well needed for stress reduction.
le nubian, pretty, but I can't even imagine not completely messing that up.
erikaj, flirtation is fun stuff!
Pix, virtual ice packs! I hope recovery is quicker than anticipated.
Life still very hectic here. Boat sale worked out. We were out of town for business when the marina needed us to sign papers so they emailed them along with a FedEx label to send them on the be finalized. I look at the label and the destination is close to where I am out of town, so I dropped them off instead. So we are gently using the boat this last weekend and will deliver it to the marina on Monday.
Business and Evil Bank stuff still very challenging. Mom still sick, but she had a chest x-ray and they said no pneumonia so that was my big concern. They would have put her in the hospital if that wasn't clear because of her age. I don't see any way she will be well enough in a week for Bobby's graduation. Recovery isn't a quick process for her anymore. I visited Friday and Saturday and both days she was dressed and downstairs, but she didn't stand up at all while I was there and normally she stands to greet me and always walks out when I leave. But she is drinking and up and dressed, and she has to go up and down 3 stairs each time she has to go to the bathroom so she is moving somewhat. She knows how important it is to keep hydrated and moving to keep from being hospitalized.
Seriously, I am so grateful that she is in such good health generally at her age. Her mental state has barely diminished at all. She is up on all current events and pays all her bills and stuff. She cooks and cleans and shakes her wee fist at the obstructionist Republicans. 92 happens this summer and she is fragile. She certainly can't handle exposure to her great granddaughter's RSV with ease.
