And it has been a day! Started out going to see the dentist, where he proceeded to hurt me in various manners. Mostly my mouth... the pocketbook part will come later.
He deadened me first, then proceeded to drill a hole from my tooth into my frontal sinuses. Well, it felt that way anyway. Then he took this stainless-steel rod and glued it into the hole.
O'yeah, I don't wanna get ahead of the story. This is the tooth that I had a root canal done on three weeks ago...
OK... the stainless-steel rod was in place. Then he proceeds to cut the whole damned tooth off, down to the gum-line and a little beyond! Well, shit! I didn't know that's what he had planned! He had mentioned doing a crown, but I didn't really think the tooth was that weak... I guess that he did, though. Or maybe he just needed the money.
My appointment was for 08:00, and I walked out the door about 09:45. My mouth was starting to get un-numb shortly before he got done.
Right now, I have this temporary crown... it's a little crooked and I look pretty funny. Well, OK, I always look funny, but I look even funnier now, especially when I grin. I can scare little kids easier now...
The permanent one will be in in three weeks, though, so it'll get better.
Speaking of little kids... I seem to have fallen out of grace with Lacee... Karen says that I don't pay enough attention to her, and she's probably right. I seem to be pretty much ignoring everyone lately.
And no, I don't wanna talk about why the clock is gone.
After the dentist, I spent another six hours trying to install LINUX. It's getting so tiresome that I even wrote to the RedHat tech support. That's about as bad as reading the directions... no, worse, 'cause I had to RTFM before I tried tech support, otherwise I'd look like a fool. Well, I probably look like a fool anyway, but that's neither here nor there...
Whenever I'm home, Lacee always asks me if I'm going to be sleeping with grandma, and if I say yes she throws a fit. And she did again tonight. I think that part of the problem with her might be that she has to share grandma with me.
Or maybe my problem is that I have to share grandma with Lacee...
I'm in my usual quandry... I have to work tomorrow night, so I really want to stay up really late and sleep all day tomorrow... but I got up early today, and it has been stressful, and I'm pretty damned tard right now.... but if I do go to sleep, I'll get up at 09:00 and not get back to sleep. Damned if I do and damned if I don't... as usual.
I know, I just shouldn't worry about it, and I try not to. The problem is, it's too damned important to not worry about it. Another quandry... if I don't worry about the problem, it'll go away. Right... that's kinda like being aware of your tongue. You don't think about it until someone mentions it, then you are immensely aware of your tongue until something comes along to distract you... well, that's the way I am, anyway. I've been told that I was weird, though...
Enough of this babbling.
