why is this happening to me?

This is bad. Over the weekend I felt what I thought was a tiny chip on one of my teeth. I went to the dentist yesterday and it turned out to be a crack running through my tooth under an old filling. So he pulled out the old filling, filed it down, filled it, and told me to come back in a month for a crown. I went back to work looking like two face. As soon as the numbness wore off, it was fucking excruciating. I called and asked if that was normal, and they told me I'd have to come back. After spending last night drinking whiskey and hot water (yum), I went back today for a Surprise! emergency root canal. That son of a bitch killed my tooth. It is dead, and I'm all weepy about it because I'm kind of weird about my teeth. Now it is just a throbbing stump full of putty and I am very, very angry about it. I asked what I could do to keep it from happening again, considering I already brush 2 or 3 times every day and I floss and I'm generally really nice to my teeth, and all he could tell me was that the crack probably started a long time ago from always grinding my teeth in my sleep which I can't help because I'm, you know, asleep when it happens.

In much better news, we bought into the DVC at Bay Fucking Lake (official name), so now I'm the proud owner of a portion of unit 15 C. I get to claim it on my taxes and everything. I can't believe we bought a vacation property before we bought a home of the year-round variety, but the numbers made sense. Yay!

PS, my tooth hurts like a motherfucker.
