mmm. the taste of colgate in the morning.
okay. today is filled with adventure and fun! i get to go to the dentist to (hopefully) get my mouth fixed. actually, i get the feeling that i'm just going to maybe find out whether or not they can even do anything for me at this point. the fact that i am 25 weeks pregnant could possibly muck this up for me. i hope not, because as of now i've been in pretty much constant pain from "the-tooth-that-is-no-longer-a-tooth-but-is-instead-a-blasted-black-crater". go figure. i guess that's what happens when you don't take care of things and go to the dentist for 8 years or so.
part of me wonders how much of my misspent youth i am going to have to continue paying interest on in this way. my oral problems are surely but one sign of it. i wonder how much else will surface and have to be dealt with.
part of me... the better part, i think... doesn't care. i'll do what needs must be done. and all the while i'm doing it, i'll reflect on how ironic it is that during the very week i am going to (hopefully) get my teeth fixed, my body is helping my baby to form it's adult teeth, which will sit in it's gums until emerging at the age of 5 or 6. or at least, that's what my pregnancy calendar says i'm up to this week.
sometimes the universe has a funny order to it.
and with that, i'm going to grab another glass of milk, then i'm off... tooth fairy, be my guide!
