Another post-dentist post

Left side of my face is novocained.

It's odd, different languages work differently. Japanese is almost completely normal when I speak it. English is so-so, and French? You haven't heard incoherent until you've heard me try to say "Il pleut sur ma tete." It's coming out "Il pleh sub a teb".

I avoided caffeine before the visit because I wanted to be as sleepy and spacey as possible. Now I need it really badly, but can I drink it without it running down my chin? Can I chew caffeinated gum without injuring myself? No, non, nyeb.

Oh, Bostonites: the cloudburst happened literally the second I stepped out of the dentist's office. Those of you with outdoor plants, you're welcome.

Geeze, what's with all the dental work?

I got a pre-op estimate yesterday for getting a crown on one of my teeth and the amount was $1500. My roommate said, "Whoa! Is that without insurance?" My answer: no, with!

Best o luck with the chompers.

EYURG. Switch dentists. My crown, on one of my largest teeth, was only $800 after insurance.

I know. This dentist is only paritally covered by the insurance. I had no intention of getting the crown completed by them - but I let them do the estimate.

Caffeine deprivation sucks.
You could always try to make the most of your novicaine experience. Maybe go sit outside with a bottle of gin and and an empty cup and ask for spare change. :) Or call up friends/family and slurring tell them you're drunk and need to be picked up from the slammer. :)

Yeah, I know the "so when do I get little action since we're on a first-name basis and i'm spending all this money" relationship with the dentist's office.

I was your sister in sogginess at our gatehouse with a lightning-fried phone in my hand.

Purple Basil

There seems to be a curse upon all purple basil as mine was healthy until I went to New Orleans I cam home and it had passed into that great herb pot in the sky....
No warning no chance to say goodbye...just gone *sob*
But all of the other plants are happy and out of control including my cinnamon basil!!

I KNEW as soon as I saw that rain pelting down that you had just left your dentist appointment. I even told my workstudy student that. My beloved rain god. :)

Speaking in tongues

Braggart! I need to novacaine half my face just to pronounce some things in my OWN language!!

Hope this is your last trip to the dentist, for your sake. On a selfish note, keep eatin the candy and keep those dental stories rollin!
