Not sure what happened to my sweet and peaceful nature. Hoping they find that Brian Laundrie was attacked and killed by alligators.

ah ... my first world problems - I have a working oven, but last night I knocked a plastic insulated cup down behind it. I can't possibly move the oven and can't reach the cup and I'm afraid that the cup will melt (or worse, catch fire) if I use the oven while it's back there. I'm going to see if I can use something to move the cup to where I CAN pull it out.

At my last visit to the dentist, it turned out that one of my teeth had a badly cracked (old) filling with decay starting underneath. This means I need a(nother) crown. Went Monday afternoon and, while the procedure was medically successful, the dentist had to drill away under the gum. There was a lot of blood and I do have a temporary crown on. However, my gum was so cut up that I'm off solid food for the time being. And I'm getting hungry (yogurt, cottage cheese, protein shakes just aren't cutting it) and have all these cravings for food I can't chew. I'm hoping I'll be able to eat soft solid food by the weekend, but I'm not sure if it'll be possible.

And at work, they've been renovating our rest rooms. Since August 16 (yes, more than two months). So in order to pee, I have to take the elevator up one floor (which requires using the security fob to get off my floor), use a key to get into the rest room, then use the fob again to get back to my floor and once more to get into the office. They SAID the rest rooms were ready to be used, but when I went to use it, the door was propped open and there was a workman in there. So, it's back to the up and down every time I need to pee.

yeah, very much first world problems

On the lighter side, are you aware of Noodle The Pug?

My bladder would take exception to that system.

I've learned to do a pre-emptive pee and not wait until I need to. And, since I'm on basically a liquid diet, that's a lot.

That does sound like a difficult combination of challenges, Toddson

Also annoying - I had a craving for gazpacho - I have a good recipe for it, so Sunday I made a batch. It's good, but when I tried a taste Monday evening ... no. It's very acidic, so it hurt my mangled gums AND since I can't really brush that section of my teeth, it's quite onion-y and so I was tasting onion for several hours. My mouth is better, but I'm still off solid (and acidic) food.

Timelies all!

Yay for working ovens!

Went back to the pharmacy today and Mr. S’s prescription was ready.

Yay for working ovens and prospective buyers!

In not sure how I would take to living on a boat. I'd like to hear more about that.

I love our toaster oven and get put out of I have to use the big oven anymore, which I usually don't, because it's just two eaters. Well, for, but two are cats.

Yay prescriptions! Good luck with things behind ovens. Boo semi-liquid diets.

Also, I feel like every day lately is a No Bones day for me, but Noodle sometimes disagrees.
