Overdue

Dealing with my tooth is overdue and now it's beyond giving me fits. I've messaged my dentist and hope I can get in for a looksee soon. I'm pretty sure that this isn't going to be an easy fix. I need to get things started however. A tooth issue is so all-consuming. I mean, unless you're having an issue, you just don't think about your teeth; you certainly aren't constantly aware of them. So when one is being an asshole, it's all you can think about. I wake up in the middle of the night with it annoying the shit out of me. And it's not that it aches or hurts; hot and cold don't cause issue. I can eat on that side. However, I think the root canal I had on that tooth just didn't do what it needed to do. I don't think the tooth can be saved. I can't remember exactly what the doc said when he checked it about a year ago but he said this could be the issue. Ugh! Not only is that going to suck (pain?) but it's going to be costly to get an implant. And I'm sure it will take time. Oh well. First world problems right? 

The weekend was good and pretty chill. On Saturday, Jim worked and I went to the Y with Susan for some water aerobics and laps which was lovely. Jim and I watched football (that Bengals game nearly gave me a heart attack) and played games. Yesterday we went to Bath and Body Works for their big semi-annual sale (I was nearly out of lotion) and then we went to lunch. After that it was more football. Part of what we needed to happen, happened (Colts lost) but Miami won which wasn't a help. We now need to beat the Steelers and Miami needs to lose next week. Hopefully the stars will align. 

Today: I've already done my yoga. I'll call the dentist in a bit (they open at 7:30) and hope I can get in to figure things out. I hope they're open. I need to walk the boys and get on the elliptical. I'll head to Lehr's Butcher to get our New Years Eve dinner (filet mignon) and today at 4:30, there's a little get together with my Lunch Ladies. Since I'm driving, it will be chill and I don't plan on being there late but Jim's on his own for dinner.  

Sad news: Yesterday Doug and Lauren had to put Fenway, their Boston Terrier down. She had been struggling with Cushing's disease for a bit and took a turn in the morning. Sad but she had a long life and was such a sweetie. 

Nothing else is happening here. Jim's already on the road headed toward his job. He'll work tomorrow as well but I don't know if it will be a full day. I don't care though. I'm so excited that I still have the week off! So far (knock on wood) this vacay is going by slowly. 

K - time to call the dentist. Wish me luck.
