Not too shabby, Dana.

Oy. The Groupon I mentioned earlier was not, as it happens, for the local place I thought it was, it was for a similarly named mail order outfit. I discovered this, of course, after I got to the local place, so I went ahead with my plan to buy treats for the baby shower there, just without the savings I was expecting. And now I have this Groupon to use, but I will figure that out somehow.

Went from there to the ATM that doesn't charge me a fee - it was temporarily out of service. So I figured I would go to the grocery store and get some junk food (since that was what I felt like having for dinner) and get cash back (so I can pay in to the Superb Owl pool tomorrow). All well and good except I managed to leave my ATM card sitting in my car when I went into the grocery store.

But all's well that ends well, I now have cash money for gambling, treats for the baby shower, and cheesy poofs and diet coke to eat while sitting on the couch watching Justified, and potstickers and beef with broccoli for later.

Appointment was uneventful. No crown yet for the tooth we have an eye on.I have a lot of crowns, all in the last 8 years. Actually, I think it's just easier to say I have somewhere between 1 and 3 original uncrowned molars. And even those are filled.

Today was otherwise really, exceptionally stupid.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Tomorrow is going to be too. I have to call back at 11:15 to see if I have to report for jury duty, and if I do, I may have to be there within an hour, which means I can't be in Palo Alto

oh well, at least I get to work in inside pants.

11:15 on a Friday? Weird.

I know, right?

I'm tired of being a human barometer. Every raising/lowering of the dentist chair brought something akin to the bends. Swimming was fine, but the last hour NSM. I'm not congested, why are my sinuses so evil? And every damn joint went off in conjunction. I'm not even 40. Unamused.

Right there with you. I am full of drugs right now, all because a new weather system is moving in. DO NOT WANT.

Shit, that means I get it in another couple days.

It's not congestion, my illicit Sudafed doesn't touch it. But neither does Advil, Tylenol or aspirin. Just bends. And fussy joints.

Yup. (I didn't say the drugs were working. Although all I've tried is the good Sudafed and ibuprofen. Maybe I should throw Tylenol at it, too.)

When you figure out how to not be one, tell me. Are we sure trepanation isn't a viable remedy? I'm about ready to try it.
