This week sucked, a lot. Sunday the boy went to a fight practice. I amused myself by doing some embroidery and eating American corn. A tin my mother in law gave us for Christmas. And somehow managed to break a tooth, the very back tooth. I suppose that was my punishment for not taking down the Christmas ornaments like I was suppose to.
Monday morning, contemplating the prospect of the dentist without any medical insurance (benefits at the boy's new job only starts on the 1st of March) I wanted to pick up something and managed to hurt my hand, Between the thumb and the forefinger. The pain was so bad it totally eclipsed any toothache I may have had. Monday night, Tuesday and Wednesday was spent in a haze of pain killers. I finally decided today (after some advice from Elfreda and Elizabeth) last night that the toothache probably deserved to get what little disposable income I had. Tootled of to the dentist, he confirmed that the tooth is fractured, not merely broken and an extraction is the only solution. However, the appointment today does not allow enough time for said extraction to happen. He did extract the loose piece that was irrating the roof of my mouth and the rest will happen Monday afternoon. A bit of surgery may be required.
We are still going to Ursulmas but will come back Saturday night.
Ah well, such is life.
I did talk to my mother today. According to the weather on my computer it was -9C this morning. It is official, I haver never been colder in my life. The previous coldest may have been -1C. I am sitting here typing with gloves on.
On the other hand it has been raining at home for a week, no sunshine and everyone is miserable. I am not sure which is worse, being cold or no sunshine. The jury is still out.
