I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I’m at the dentist. I think I cracked a tooth a while ago - noticed it felt different like a gap where there didn’t used to be a gap and more sharpness than felt familiar to my tongue but it didn’t, like, hurt so I just ignored it. Well, now it hurts and there’s some swelling, so, dentist. My appointment was for ten minutes ago and I got here half an hour early to fill out paperwork (is it still paperwork when it is on an iPad? I think it is) so I may run out of ability to entertain myself…

Thrive to spite them

-t I hope someone gets you back soon. I hate having to wait for a doctor or a dentist.

No word yet. I can overhear them sounding like they are trying to rearrange the schedule, something must have happened. But I’m just waiting.

Aha, eavesdropping tells me they are short handed by two assistants.

Root canal Thursday morning. Do I know how to kick off a vacation or what?
