May. 12th, 2005 07:44 amI'm home today with a massive toothache. It hit me yesterday at about 3:00 at work. The kind of pain that feels like someone just shoved a nail into your gum and is pounding it into your skull. It was so bad my supervisor (who had come by to ask me to call a customer back) changed her mind when she saw my face and directed me to a dentist in our building. I went and turns out I need (yet another--you'd think I'd learn not to ignore those little twinges) root canal. *sigh* He gave me some penicillin and pain pills (lortab, lovely). It turns out they don't do "billing" there anymore, so I have to either pay all at once (even with insurance, nearly $500--eek!) or make enough payments to cover it before the work is done. I paid $200 yesterday and will be trying to pay more as soon as I get my bills paid for the month. I should be able to get it done next week. The pain actually kept me awake last night...I intended to go to work today, but I didn't get much sleep and am still in pain--even through the lortab haze.
The Amazing Race has ended for another season. Uchenna and Joyce won, and even though I was rooting for Rob and Amber (who came in second), I am happy with the result. Because they really need the money (both having been laid off) and they now have enough money to cover their bills and have the in vitro process they want to do. They want children so badly and have not been able to conceive, which is sad because they seem to be really nice people with a lot of love to give. They said they will adopt if the in vitro doesn't work and I hope they are able to bring a baby or child into their lives real soon. Congratulations to them!
Speaking of TAR, the finish line was at Bonnet House in Ft. Lauderdale!! My old hometown. I was squealing like the little fangirl I am as I recognized the area. My son used to be a security guard at a condo next door to Bonnet House, so I knew exactly where they were. I can't believe they were at such a public place (it's literally right across the street from the beach) and kept it secret. Very neat to see Ft. Lauderdale and Miami featured in the finale.
Rob and Amber's wedding is going to be on TV on May 24th. They were married several weeks ago in the Bahamas? I think. I will be watching because it is so obvious they love each other deeply and I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing. They remind me of my relationship with my husband.
If you want to read something really funny, go to Tomato Nation and read the latest entry. I love Sars! She's funny and talented and I can't wait to read her book someday.
Got to watch a Marlins game last night, it was fabulous! Dontrell Willis is still undefeated and is just a pitching madman. Go Fish!
Guess that's all for now. I'm going to get some breakfast and then (if I don't fall asleep) I'll be getting started on my new dress for RenFest.
