My Weekend In Bullet-Points

[desoto_hia873]

• Friday afternoon: Worst dragonboat practice ever. No really, ever. I sucked, everyone else sucked, we all sucked. Some of us (including me) have been doing this for seven years now - you'd think we'd at least have a veneer of good technique. I came away with a heavy sense of discouragement and back muscles that ached for the rest of the weekend.
• Saturday morning: A (long overdue) trip to the dentist. I lost a filling while I was in Cuba, which was enough to make me finally stop procrastinating on this front. Said filling was right up next to and under the gumline of one of my eyeteeth; the dentist also found a cavity at the tip of the same tooth. So I was pumped full of Novocaine (it even made my left eye go numb) and drilled from top to bottom. I practically have a new tooth now. Which is good, except ouch. At least I got to feel all virtuous while popping Advil after the freezing faded. I have another appointment on Friday to see what else she can find.
• Saturday evening: My evening with my cousin had to be cancelled when she called to say that she and her daughter had been throwing up all the previous night and all morning, poor things. In order to avoid watching the entire fifth season of Six Feet Under in one day (I just can't get enough of that show), I took myself out to a movie and saw X-Men 3. I gather that the film does terrible disservice to several of the characters, but not being terribly familiar with the X-Men fandom, I thought it was alright. It didn't blow me away, but it was a pleasant enough way to pass the evening.
• Sunday afternoon: Went to my mother's house for a belated birthday BBQ for my sister. Brought some of my laundry with me because some traditions just never die. :-) While in her basement putting wet clothes into the dryer, I wondered vaguely where Linus's ashes were, then decided that I wasn't ready yet to come face-to-face with them.
• Sunday evening: A thoroughly frustrating and unproductive phone call with Jim that left me brooding until the wee hours. Mostly my fault as I was feeling hypersensitive. I need a new brain.

*hugs* because your icon says you need it, and reading the post, I can't disagree.

Thanks. :-) At least my tooth didn't hurt when the filling fell out - being in Cuba with a toothache wouldn't have been much fun. Things can always be worse!

And it was a very yummy BBQ on Sunday, so all was not completely lost.

*hugs back*

I'm the same way about Six Feet Under - I have watched entire seasons in 2 or 3 days. Which is why I'm putting off watching Season 5. And then I may just start over again. :-)

Their seasons really needed to be longer! Twelve episodes is just not enough. I've been partially spoiled for some of the big events in S5 and I think I'm on the brink of one of them now. Ack!

No, you don't need a new brain. You need a hug.

(((hug))))

Possibly I need both. :-)

Eee I have one tooth that is bascially all filling. I finally needed a cap.

Polar bears! I love polar bears. :-D

I suppose if I had all my teeth capped, then I wouldn't need the dentist much anymore. Worth thinking about...

Thanks for the hug! ::hugs back::
