i fought the dentistry beast! it was a draw.

i went to my dentist appointment this morning. routine cleaning + 2 cavities drilled and BOY HOWDY was i a baby about it. oh god. crying, shaking, clutching the hand of some poor nurse. dr michaelowski was so patient though, explaining everything and staying reasonable even when i went into semi-hysterics every thirty seconds. i am so glad that is over. ugh. i'm staying home for the rest of the day--not that there's anything to be done at work anyway, but my whole face is numb and i can hardly speak, so.

my task now is to find my old nightguard, thereby avoiding having a new one made. those things are $500 and my insurance doesn't cover any of it. bastards! i know it's somewhere. i just hope i didn't throw it out in some fascist I WILL NEVER USE THIS AGAIN SO GOOD RIDDANCE fit of cleaning.

we're supposed to get 6-10 inches of snow later this afternoon. i am going to snuggle up with the kittens and nap and read about the yin yu tang house to my heart's content.
