I sort of overdid it yesterday, so today is a quiet day of reading and resting. I'll be back at it, straightening up, answering email, etc. in a day or two. At least the snow missed us and the sun is shining. Life is indeed good.

No decay, just sensitive nerves. But the xrays showed there could be a problem with the root developing. My dentist is taking a wait and see approach and not jumping right to 'root canal'. She also took off a few high spots on the effected tooth thinking perhaps I had been grinding my teeth in my sleep and that's what set this off. Even with a mouth guard, I had done some damage.<br />Today life is good and I could drink my coffee pain free. woot-woot.<br />SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-20903327477274678412019-05-10T07:43:47.075-05:002019-05-10T07:43:47.075-05:00The squeaky wheel gets the grease.

But the job is done. My shelving unit is back in place and I can walk through my living room without tripping over anything. <br />It was cold here all day. Some parts of the state got snow. I was busy with my grocery order and putting my apartment back in order, so I didn't see if any flakes fell here. I think maybe I didn't want to know!<br />Hope the dentist visit wasn't anything too terribly serious.

Rain is back in the forecast for next week and cooler weather but this was a nice preview. Also keeping me busy was an unscheduled trip to the dentist. Love my dentist and she knows if I call in 'need', she gets me into the office right away.<br />Cheers, SJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-50597923210168602762019-05-09T07:48:13.142-05:002019-05-09T07:48:13.142-05:00Thanks, Kristina...Me, too!!Thanks, Kristina...Me, too!!Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-31378645583076325572019-05-09T07:37:21.214-05:002019-05-09T07:37:21.214-05:00So glad you hear your windows are done.

But it seems to me that if the window guys were having problems, they could have explained why it was taking so long. I understand those things. I have been in a bad place a time or two myself. But they just didn't show up and that's when I finally had about enough of that foolishness.<br /><br />I'm tickled about the rent reduction. It all helps. He is a good guy and a good landlord. I think he dislikes confrontation more than I do and it took me getting mad (not at him) to do what needed to be done.<br /><br />Wishing you a lovely Mother's Day weekend as well.
