One Less Pristine Tooth

A quick note - I had a cavity filled today. I'm not a huge fan of Novocain, that's for sure. I gave blood last Saturday. It took 8 minutes and 5 seconds (they time you now, for some reason). I swear that the Novocain needle was in my gum longer than than the bloodletting needle. [Insert bone rattling shiver here.]

You know what else I hate? My plaque-infested tooth didn't hurt when I woke up this morning. However, now that it contains a white, plastic filling, it's actually kind of sore. Pretty hard to explain to the kids why they should have their cavities filled if it only creates pain for them in a place there wasn't pain before.

Notes on a Youth

Here I am - but I don't know the date. It's a school photo, but not from kindergarten, of that I am sure. So it's sometime after that.



I thought it might be fun to make fun of me, as if I was looking at the photo for the first time and I didn't know who it was. Here goes:

"What a cute little girl!"

"Note the narrow shoulders and vastly over-sized head."

"Looks like the nose is already full grown."

"Is that hair or is he wearing a helmet?"

"What pretty brown eyes! What's her name?"

Feel free to chime in.

The Killing Season

It's not even cold yet for October and I've killed 2 mice so far this season. I'll keep track on this blog again this year.

Season count:2 - 1 by Better Mousetrap brand mousetrap, 1 by cats.
