It's been a whirlwind couple of days. I think I mentioned in my last post that I have a tooth that is killing me. Stupidly, I've been trying to wait until Jan. to get it taken care of, so I have my full dental benefits. This has proven to be a very big mistake. There's been lots of swelling, pain, and it's gone to that whole side of my mouth. A dentist finally got me in yesterday, only to quote me over $2,000 (after my insurance). I totally broke down like a fucking baby in the dentist chair. I was really expecting $800 (which isn't anything to sneeze at, either). I was/am in so much pain. So, I told them just to pull it, which they won't do, so they referred me elsewhere. Anyway, they gave me penicillin (b/c it's infected) and Tylenol 3 w/ codeine. The penicillin is slowly helping, and hopefully tomorrow the swelling will be almost all gone, which will help w/ the pain. Anyway, I found another dentist, who doesn't appear to be charging by the Euro, and I see them next week. They say the swelling needs to be down, anyway, before they can do anything. So, my mouth ruled my day. I look like I'd been rode hard and put away wet "in my mouth." LMAO. Didn't Kristen Wigg say that in Bridesmaids? (My fave movie btw). The Tylenol just knocks me on my butt. It put me to sleep after I took it about 6, and then I woke up for an hour or so, and was down again for the night. This morning, when I took it, it knocked me out again. This is why I am blogging now. After this, I need to take it, and then let it knock me out. I need to be functional in a couple of hours to make Christmas cookies w/ the boys.
I stumbled upon a Christmas gift for a friend, while I was looking online for something for an in-law. I saw it, and it was like it was made just for her. I was so freaking excited to get it for her. It wasn't expensive, but I knew it would make her happy. Anyway, she received the gift today (she had to open, since it was somewhat perishable). She loves it! I'm so happy. She's now given me my new favorite quote (Sorry, Natalie Maines, and "moist as a snack cake.) In her email she said, she "couldn't have been more shocked, if I shot her." LMAO. Now, that's good stuff. That totally made my day. For realz. So lucky to have such amazing people in my life. Which brings me back to the message that I like to bring up from time to time. If there's a friend that you've been thinking about, but havent spoken to lately, reach out to them. Mail them a card (I adore snail mail), email them, send them a text out of nowhere, telling them how much you love and miss them. It will make you both smile. As women, we are always doing for others, and we need to take these tiny moments to congratulate ourselves on surrounding ourselves w/ such amazing people. We can easily forget how much, our friendships mean to us. Trust me...you won't regret it. Ring someone up...just reach out. Make your day a special one. Was that gay enough for everyone? Hope so :)
The diet has been okay. Mostly because I can't eat anything that isn't soft. It's like I'm a baby, just being introduced to solid foods. For dinner last night I had apple sauce and pudding :) Yum.
Until tomorrow my friends. Love ya. Really, I do.
