BBQ and Birthdays
I survived the dentist yesterday. We also set out a torture plan for my mouth and I over the next few months. I need to finally get my wisdom teeth (top only) removed which I’ve known for awhile. Then some deep, beneath the gum cleaning treatments that will need to be done in two separate appointments. In other words? I need a whole new category here called, “Dental Hell.” My birthday is next week and MrZ and I have argued over which weekend is my “Birthday... Read More
Anxiety
I have a dentist appointment today. I’m scared to death. I’ve had a long list of bad dental-related experiences both as a child and as an adult. Which makes my dental visits few and far between.

But since I had read the Harry Potter books several times each, the audiobooks required no concentration. Yet they still always revealed secrets to me I had missed while... Read More
*sigh* Being a Grown-Up is Hard
Rarely I claim to blog “just for myself” – mainly because it’s entirely untrue. But tonight? I’m blogging for me. I just need to vent about a situation in which there are no parties in the wrong and nothing that can (or needs to) be changed. But I still am upset because I’m emotional and hormonal and sensitive and maybe I cried a few times tonight. NikkiZ had an incident at school last week. One similar to the ones we had often for a few months... Read More
