Alive. Barely.

I made it out of the dentist's office alive. Barely. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a recipe posted for eggplant Parmesan or update with pictures from the weekend. (We did a TON of stuff this weekend!)

But, for now, my Novocaine is wearing off and I'm thinking I need some painkillers and an early evening nap.  Soft foods for supper since the Mr. also went to the dentist today. I'm thinking....a smoothie, applesauce, and soup.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Options

If you were given the following options, which would you choose?

A) Read a book

B) Clean

C) Research/paperwork/productive things

D) Go outside

E) Go to the dentist, find cavities, fix them, and pay $$$ for it

I'm pretty sure this isn't a tricky one, but I would choose A, B, C, and D several times before I chose E. But, alas, E has been my day thus far. Honestly, the actual procedure went very smoothly {even the shot went well!} other than being disappointed about the pre-cavities - of course.

BUT, the paying for it part is what sucked the most.  Since I constantly think about trade-offs and how I could have better spent the money, I could have bought:

a new point and shoot camera

OR

almost two weeks worth of groceries

OR

a few tanks-worth of gasoline

OR

jeans, shoes, and jewelry

OR

 well over 600 packs of Ramen noodles

OR

one fancy date night at a nice restaurant

...see my point?

I suppose it is necessary and important and I really shouldn't complain.

I'm thankful I have a full set of teeth with which to eat, though.  =]

Speaking of: time for lunch!

Test & Dentist

I am

t-i-r-e-d!

I studied late last night, woke up early to study some more, took my exam this morning, and had a preliminary dentist appointment this afternoon.  They sent me home with a new toothbrush. Hooray! It seemed like I did alright on my exam, but I am always nervous waiting for the scores to be posted online. [Edit: I got an A!]

Now it's time to get outside and enjoy the weather a little bit.  Hopefully everyone is staying cool- it's been very pleasant here, and barely humid at all. Have a lovely Thursday, everyone!
