1. Describe one thought currently on your mind:
My right cheek is still swollen since Wednesday’s root canal escapade. I really really really don’t want to have to call the dentist today and deal with this any more. Stay tuned.
2. List two things in your bedroom:
A big copy of this photo of me and my grandson.
And a big shelf I put together myself full of all my projects including the boxes of photos and letters I’m currently pouring through to write Chapter 7 of my story.
3. Name three songs that you like:
Dimming of the Day, anything by Kasey Chambers, and Let It Be.
4. What are four sounds that you can hear right now?
The Mac motor, the box fan in the living room by the open front door trying to cool the house down past the currently 76 degrees, a Norah Jones song in my head, and the sound of the keys as I type this. Hey, it’s only 6:52 a.m.
5. Name five things (or issues) that make you mad:
The powerlessness of being in the dentist’s office, Bill O’Reilly and his ilk, being asked how I am when the only answer wanted is “fine”, garden slugs, and anything about war (and isn’t that ironic?).
Deep Thought: Probably one of the main problems with owning a robot is when you want him to go out in the snow to get the paper, he doesn’t want to go because it’s so cold, so you have to get out your whip and start whipping him, and the kids start crying, and oh why did I ever get this stupid robot?
Today I am grateful for: Ibuprophen and refrigerator icepacks
End of Day – 9:18 pm
+ = Face better. No dentist.
- = Last hot day for a spell, I think. I hope.

Hang in there. Hope your swelling goes down without any more visits to the House of Pain.
1. Incessant boredom
2. Clean sheets – king sized bed
3. Water’s Edge, One Man’s Dream, Cadent Waterfalls
4. AirConditioner, keyboard clicks, (that’s all)
5. Men – pick any five of ‘em. Doesn’t matter.
LOL!
That is an incredibly loving picture. Hope the swelling goes down soon! Had that once myself with a (should I say it?) botched root canal, requiring surgery, eventually it all absessed anyway and had to come out. Aren’t dental stories just the best for gloom? Still, that is an incredibly loving picture.
quite some irony in there…
Thing is, you cannot ignore a dental problem as the PAIN won’t let you!
