So I got my crown replaced today.  As I noted on FB... I would get a crown replaced on Mardi Gras.  Crowns, kings, all that jazz.  My brain does not work right I swear.

As I suspected, there was much amiss under the old broken crown.  My dentist was able (after 3 shots of numbing stuff) to get it all cleaned up, get a new crown made and installed.  Now my gums just have to heal up since they don't take well to all the poking and prodding.

There was a big story today about a shooting in St. Louis - Deputy Marshalls and police.  When I read the story I looked at the street name and thought "I know that name".   Then looked it up on google maps.  It turns out this is a couple of blocks down the street from where my cousins lived when we were kids.  My mother's sister and her family.  It wasn't a bad neighborhood not affluent, but not poor.  Huge old brick city houses. I used to wish for a big house like they had because the size was intriguing to me (we lived in a ranch house in the burbs).

I see the Prez decided to grace Boston with his presence today.  Wonder how many flights were delayed into and out of Logan so he could come visit a school.

I checked again - no I can't get an iphone until my contract expires at the end of May.  Of course by then I may want to wait until the iphone 5... we'll see.

After sitting in the dentist chair for about 2 hours or so watching CNN, I can say without a doubt there are far too many people who wear clothes all the wrong color.  Anchor chick was wearing a "coral" color dress today.  I think she was looking to be all springlike.  Sadly it was just exactly the wrong color for her skin tone (at least on tv).  Then some other woman graced the screen wearing a purple top and a maroon jacket... seriously it made my eyes cross.

Oh well, that's it for now.  Yesterday I was buried under an email server and other fun things. I have clawed my way out, but I think it's time for a glass of wine to unwind.

More later if I can work up the energy.

1 I think you've accomplished enough for one day. That glass of chilled adult beverage might be just the thing. Enjoy, T - the world will just have to stagger along without you for one evening.

2 Gotta take care of your teeth...can't grow new ones. The Juju Woman was having major sinus headaches a couple of weeks ago, turns out it was a tooth, and she has perfect teeth., she had to go see an Endodontist for a root canal. This molar appeared to be healthy, never had a filling...it apparently just went wonkers. The tooth never hurt, and it took awhile for my friend, our regular dentist, to determine which tooth it was. Anyway, she goes to the Endodontist and he puts the numbing stuff (four shots) to her and begins the procedure. She wasn't as numb as they both thought. So he apologizes, and said he was gonna have to inject some numbing stuff directly into the nerve. A direct pulp injection. He told her it was gonna hurt, and he was right. She said that was the greatest and most severe pain she had ever experienced, for one second...and he was using the high test caine. You know people think a root canal is the worst thing in the world, but in reality, afterward you're just sore from the shots and having your mouth jacked open for so long. No tooth has the same number of roots...some root canals take longer than others.

Sorry to babble...rinse with saltwater...it really does help the healing process.
