I'm off today from work

I am not sick but I took the day off today. I wish I could say I accomplished a lot at home but I could not because I did not. I had to spend almost two hours at the dentist's office. You see, I had this terrible, terrible toothache on New Year's Day and the day after. The stateside Lombos side of the clan know this very well because I could not even do my part to entertain them at the time. Oh, they all said they understood but still, it's embarrassing. My toothache was just unbearable and could I just writhe in pain in bed, alone. Aspirin helped a bit but only for a few minutes and I could not take it every ten minutes or so. But anyway....

After four sessions with the dentist, he finally decided to do the root canal surgery that he had prescribed for for my tooth right on my first visit but that he has kept postponing because the infection and the swelling was really bad. It took that long to heal.

Finally, root canal today. It did not hurt a bit and Momma would have been glad to see the house in better order or the remaining snow on the driveway pushed farther to the side.

Sorry Mom. Better luck next time.

I'm going back to work tomorrow. (And it will snow again tonight until tomorrow noon.)
