So I went to the dentist this morning for the first time in...eight years, I wanna say? It was sometime before Daddy passed, I know, because he took me and made fun of how the novacaine made me talk afterwards.

( cut for talk of dentistry and phobias )
So, basically, I'm edgy, nervous, disoriented, and starting to feel pain, which is a change from being unable to feel my nose previously. That was fun, let me tell you. My apologies to all who have to deal with me for the rest of today. After work, I'm going to a friend's First Thursday (I promised, otherwise I would be heading home), and then home after Eric gets off from work. And most likely a long bath and sleep. Mmm, sleep.
