A Run of good luck
I consider myself having some very good luck the past two days, highlighted by my visit to the dentist. I thought I might have some pain when the novocaine wore off but I didn't. About the time I went to bed I had a little discomfort at the site of the novocaine injections, but it wasn't anything that would even keep me awake. I took a Benadryl though so I would fall asleep right away.Around 9:00 pm I got a call from the dentist himself just checking to see that I was okay, the pain was tolerable, etc. How nice of him, and then because he had overheard me talking to the office mgr about my backpacking plans, the dentist and I had a nice little discussion on camping, etc. He was definitely sure that I should carry a can of bear spray! Everyone in that office is super friendly and makes the patients feel so at ease.I had a problem with my TV that I couldn't seem to correct so I just started pushing buttons. Well by then, all I had on my screen was snow! Four of the grandkids had been here for a while in the afternoon and we had the TV on, so possibly one of them pushed a button on the TV, but I doubt it.I called the installer who told me what to do and it was working in probably less than one minute! I think I'm going to really like AT&T's service, and I'm satisfied so far with the channel lineup. Not that I've watched much TV since it was hooked up.
We've had some rain today but it has just been about enough to make the streets wet. I wish it would just get going and make a little dent in the drought.
I'm still catching up on blogs, as well as new topics and websites that I'm interested in. But I don't want to spend my day looking at any kind of screen, so I'm doing it a little at a time.

I Thought I Would Die!
I took a book along to read and arrived at the dentist office about half an hour early. Surprisingly, they had me in the chair about 10 minutes after I arrived. I need lots of novocaine - dental pain has always been the worst for me, and all pain...

Dentist Down, Surgeon To Go
Thankfully I made it through the dental work today. For some reason it took longer and more medication to numb the area, and I wonder if it's been partially due to my state of mind and emotions the past week. The dentist and his...

Haircut
The only thing I've done today was to get a haircut. So when I got back home I decided to tackle the weeds, pulling the big ones and then using the spray. I made a dent in the job but still have a long way to go. When I came inside...

Overcast Skies
I sure haven't been blinded by the sun today. The streets got wet now and then but no rain to speak of. Now it looks like Sunday may be the magic day for rain. I finally visited the dental office that my daughter and her family go to,...
