I got up at 7:30. I read e-mail, saw
the sun and thought about mowing the lawn later. I tapped for
upcoming anxiety. I showered and ate breakfast. I headed out early
to the dentist. I worked on a number puzzle until they were ready
for me. I had a cracked filling which needed replacing. I did some
future pacing to set the intention for being relaxed and rested at
the end of the visit. I brought my ipod with meditations and
hypnosis on it. After removing the cracked filling, the dentist
showed me my tooth. I couldn't believe how little was left. She
showed me the crack across the nerve bed and the base. She told me
that she could put in a regular filling which would hold for awhile,
but would probably end in a root canal, or she could put a crown on
it. Since I never want a root canal, I went for the crown. Sadly
that meant removing more of my already diminutive tooth. I had to sign a form saying I would pay for it, and then she took
an impression and put on a temporary crown. I paid at the front and
they made an appointment 3 weeks away for the permanent crown (and a
cleaning since I missed my cleaning appointment today). Due to the
ipod, I felt calm most of the time and not so bad during the
injections and drilling. When I got home, it was sunny, so I put on
my suit and lay in the grass for 20 minutes. Then I dressed again,
and went to tai chi. Because of the anesthetic, I could not smile
properly and because it was wearing off, it kinda hurt, too. But I
had something to smile about. It was the last class, and the
instructor asked me to 'test'. So I did, and made two mistakes. The
rest of the class clapped, and I was happy to have done that well.
Since I caught my mistakes the leader decided to give me a patch. As
I left the building, I could see how stormy the sky looked. There
would be no mowing today, nor taking Alec outside. I was hoping for
an easy afternoon. When I picked him up, it was raining hard. We
had to run through the rain to the house. He got a little wet and
wanted to change his clothes. He picked out ones that were too big.
I tried to read him a story, but it hurt, and he played with his
toys. Then we went to the backroom to build a tent out of a blanket.
He put all the other couch blankets in there and every stuffed toy.
I don't know how he fit. Then he wanted to watch “The Lorax”. I
figured out how to run the DVD and we did, until his mother came
home. We talked for a bit and I went home. Chris was eating supper.
I juiced up some veggies and let some cheese dissolve in my mouth
while reading e-mail. Then we watched episodes of Chuck, season 4
and went to bed.
