Oh I've had quite a day already. Today was dentist day. About six weeks ago I had the beginnings of two root canals done. Today was to complete them.
Well I arrived and they took me right in which I thought was a good sign, only to wait an hour and a half in the chair for the dentist!! Of course they numbed me up but by the time he arrived I just had a feeling that it would be beginning to wear off. Sure enough, part way through the procedure ... OUCH!! So more Novocaine. I was in the office for 2 and a half hours and got ONE of the TWO root canals finished. You know what that means, right? You got it ... another appointment!!! I'm typically pretty patient but I was about to jump out of my skin by the time I was released from the chair.
I had already planned to come home and use sick time. As it turned out our network was down at work and there would have been limited things I could have done there. I had no appointments and I thought to myself, what is sick time for?? I decided to pick up some groceries at the market though before I headed home. Good thing I planned on coming home because even before the Novocaine started to wear off (in fact it is still partially numb) my mouth started throbbing. YIKES!!
I could use that giant Margarita right about now! LOL!!
Then the dog jumped on me while I was reaching for his leash, drawing blood on my wrist. It looks like someone grabbed me and was trying to restrain me. UGH.
So ... despite all these little detours here I am, reporting in, as I know you'll all wonder where oh where is Moose???
A little fluctuation up this morning which given the quick decline of the past week I am not worried about at all. I ate well yesterday and exercised. The only major difference was I had steak for dinner. Beef takes a bit longer to digest.
Still I am grateful ...
1. I have sick time I can use!!
2. One root canal down, one more to go!!
3. I can take a nap and maybe the pain will subside.
4. It is a beautiful day out there today ... perfect temperatures, blue sky with puffy white clouds ... gorgeous!
5. I finally put some things on eBay ... now I hope someone just can't live without them and bids, bids, bids!!! LOL!!
Oh yes ... one more thing. A few weeks ago I was bemoaning the fact that I could no longer button a couple pairs of my 'skinny' jeans. If you recall I wondered if they had 'shrunk' ... LOL ... but at the same time realized my weight was hovering a little higher than normal. I have always said that 5 lbs doesn't make the difference in clothing so much on someone of my height, at 5'10". Well guess what? I was WRONG!!! I slipped on my black denim Nine West 'skinny' jeans this morning (one of the two pair I could not button) and miracle of miracles they fit like a glove!!! I guess 5 lbs. does matter. Damn. There goes my theory about the dryer!!!
So, despite the throbbing in my mouth I am feeling pretty damn good. I am really hungry but my mouth hurts so I don't think I'll try eating right now. I do have yogurt though and that doesn't require much chewing.
I am going to be kind to myself and take myself upstairs to my comfy king sized bed and snuggle with the dog that just injured me!! He didn't mean to ... he was just so excited about going outside!! Kindness pays off ... especially kindness towards ourselves. Sometimes when we are kind to others we don't always get to see the benefits and sometimes, people take advantage of kindness or just simply don't realize our intent. But, when we are kind to ourselves we do get to see the outcome. It changes us. It does not make all the difficult things go away. It does not make things necessarily easier, we still have to make healthy choices. But, it does energize us, balances us so that we are open to the possibilities of change, we believe we are worth it, I think it is worth practicing.
So ... upstairs I go ... I hope your Monday has been quite a bit less eventful than mine!!! Later!!

Cindy ... a place of honor!!! I know that is where I fail. I am much better at ignoring myself!! LOL!! I used to be really good at beating up on myself but after a couple of decades of practicing kindness it has started to go away!! I hope you find success ... you are most certainly worth it!!

Ouch! Hope your mouth feels better later and you're able to really eat. I was up a tad today as well, after good losses in the past week. To be expected, though...you have those skinny jeans fitting, so definitely nothing to worry about. lol

Sounds like a pretty rough day yet you seem to have handled it so well Moose. That is so funny regarding the shrinking jeans as I know we all can relate to what you posted there and yes, 5 pounds is a great accomplishment. Anyway, I hope you were very kind to yourself and got some wonderful relaxation in on this Monday 8/9/10 Reminds me of a silly joke asking "why didn't 7 follow 8?" Because 7 8 9... Do you remember that joke? Feel better soon. TOWANDA!!

LOL Lisa!!! I haven't heard that joke in a VERY long time!!! I opted for some pain meds and the throbbing has subsided ... thank goodness!! Some days are just better than others ... but every day above ground is a GOOD day!!! Just for kicks I tried on the other pair of 'skinny' jeans I thought had shrunk. Wonder of wonders ... they fit too!! LOL!!

Wow Moose, you've had quite the day. You sure deserve to get comfy on the couch with that dog who loves you so much and just lay back and chill. Hope the throbbing stops and you are 100% in the morning.

Well, now you know why everyone is so afraid of root canals. I have never had one thank God. Yes, the Margarita may have come in handy with the throbbing LOL! I hope you feel better soon moose, hang in there. Oh yes, five pounds makes quite a difference for me too. I'm glad to hear that you are able to get back into your skinny jeans again,
