Oops... wrote this back in April...
The snow has been slowly melting, revealing the earth and all it's wonders. There's been a few days that have been a decent temperature, which most were taken advantage of. I got the motor mount out of the car,
Last Thursday was one of the latter days, not taken advantage of. I had to see Le Dentist. And get the big ole teeth pulled.
I woke up to a child saying "mommy, there's someone knocking at the door". Jumping out of my bed and quickly throwing on clothes, realizing I had set the alarm for 6:30 PM instead of AM, I rushed out the door.
After putting a little pill under my tongue, I announced that I felt drunk and have promptly forgot everything from there on out. I vaguely remember about 9:30 trying to use my phone to respond to a child that should not have been trying to ask me anything. Then I woke up again around 1pm.
Surprisingly the post op pain isn't as bad as I thought it would be. After the first day I stopped taking the pain pills prescribed that made me drowsy and switched to ibuprofen.Which I was later told I should have been taking acetaminophen but what's done is done.
After going to the post-op appointment, they did some other stuff and said something about a dry socket. That was probably worse than the pain, it tasted like cinnamon and burned a little. Pretty gross actually, but it took the pain away almost instantly.
One of the really shitty things about getting teeth pulled is the gigantic holes left in your gums for ALL OF THE FOOD to get stuck in! There's also now sensitivity of the teeth that were beside the ones that got pulled.
Fun times. Glad that's over with.

Shitty Stuff and Good Stuff
I haven't been around these parts lately. I guess its hard to think with all that stuff going on. Not "I guess". It is. I'm not going to lie.
I got a new job. I'm hoping that this is my lucky break. I was without a job for two months. With being down to one very part time job (8 hours a week) and a series of expensive events, my savings ran through pretty fast.
It's not over yet. I still have some expensive events coming soon, in the form of a rebuilt rack, brakes, and tires. And that's just the maintenance stuff.
Now for the good.
Earlier this week, I was treated to see Carlos Santana live at Casino Rama. Which isn't all that far from where I live. I had enough gas in my car, so I went. After all the bullshit that's been going on in my life lately, it was really nice to enjoy being treated to a concert. Even only a couple of hours away from it all, I really appreciated it.
Speaking of appreciation, I have some really awesome friends! One of the best, Yandie has really been there for me the past few weeks. I'm so grateful to have such generous friends. In a time of need, a few have been there. Even just to keep me company. I needed it, and I'm thankful for the kindness they've shown me. I'm not out of the woods yet, but gradually, they are showing me the way out. Without them, I'm sure I'd still be lost in the darkest part of those woods right now. Nobody else I can think of are able (or may not want to be named or) tagged, so I'll leave some initials of those I want to thank. AC & MR, JP & AV, JS, CC, KM, CS, GW & SW, TE, AT. Thank you guys, even for a small contribution for my mental health, thank you.

Le Dentist
I actually have a few blogs that haven't been posted.... S'pose I should get on that.
Today's topic is Le Dentist. I haven't seen a dentist since I was 15 or so. My parents couldn't really afford to, so my grandparents took my sister and I to get some check ups. At that time I was told my wisdom teeth would need to be removed at some point. I don't remember much else about it.
Ever since I had my kids I have thought about getting these darned wisdom teeth out. They are painful, and crooked, and likely causing cavities and bullshit in my mouth.
Every time I think about it, I think about the whole labour and birthing experience. Mostly the part where I freaked the fuck out and was afraid for my life. Why? Not a damn clue. I was scared shitless of getting the c-section, the epidural, the whole damn thing.
Last year I had to have a procedure done at the hospital and they told me they were going to put me out for it. I thought I was fine. I thought the problem with the whole "we're gonna cut your kids out of you" experience was that I was left awake. No. Oh hell no. That was clearly not the problem. I freaked the fuck out, once again. Luckily the nurse was great and calmed my ass down.
So now that I've been through these things I think I can do this. I actually saved a bunch of money for Christmas and didn't use it all so I told myself that after the immense amount of holiday spending was over, I was going to get my damn teeth looked at.
I had a consult a couple of weeks ago. They didn't help my fear at all... This week I have a cleaning. We shall see where things go from here.
If I could draw a picture it would be one of those stick figures and it would be Le Dentist: la de da... le me: OMFG@#$^%&#^&%$&
