Oh Happy Day! Today, this wondrous of days… I learned I am soon to be the joyous recipient of not 1, not 2, but 3 – THREE – root canals. I think actually it still qualifies as only 1 root canal, but the tooth has what appears to be 3 separate channels that will need to be ground out. And since apparently Iowa makes it virtually impossible for dentists and endodontists to qualify for licensing to use nitrous oxide, instead we will be getting a wonderful pre dose of valium! Which of course means Scott has to take me. Just writing about this dental work is giving me a case of shakes. Ugh.
Scott and I had a very hectic but super-enjoyable weekend. Between 10 am Saturday and 8 am Monday we drove 1, 127 miles, visited an uncle in Newton, KS, a grandmother’s old digs in Stillwater, OK, as well as her grave, and then experienced a DOUBLE 80th Birthday party, a 60th Anniversary Party AND… a DOUBLE Surprise! Both Scott’s Aunt Edwina and Uncle Doril celebrated their 80th birthdays this past week as well as their 60th anniversary. And, when we got to the party we were totally surprised to find that Mudder & Pops (Scott’s parents), along with Terri, Bethany & Eleanor had made the trip from Las Cruces, NM… and they were equally surprised to learn that WE had. Of course, the surprise then gave rise to the recriminations of “failure to communicate”! I quickly disavowed myself of any responsibility for said failure.
The party was at 2 pm on Sunday, and was supposed to be done by 4… but we ended up staying for the “after-party” as well, until 6 pm . We drove through until 12:30 am Monday, arriving in York, NE, where we stayed the night in the Holiday Inn (meh!) We slept 4 hours, then came in to work, arriving a mere 15 minutes late!
I know, not very spiritual of a post today… so be it! On that front… I got nothin!
