So, yesterday I got to go to the Dentist. Right...I've talked about how the right dentist can change your whole perspective. Just a cleaning yesterday, and a prodding to floss more...I know...I know...but the best part was Shawn, the hygenist and I started talking about Twilight...she's just as addicted...and miraculously I needed no gum desensitzer. I pretty much make them numb my gums or give me gas...right, even for a cleaning. Big baby. Though I white nuckled through the entire procedure...I survived and Shawn and I had a good laugh. I think we finally convinced the other ladies to break down and lose a week of their lives to the series as well. And I think I made Shawn feel better about reading it a second time. I did...and I feel no guilt for admitting.
Then dinner. I was scheduled to go out with a friend for dinner who turned out not to be feeling well. But that didn't stop me. Denise has been out of pocket for two weeks now and darnit...I was bound and determined to go with her...so that's what I did. Called, tracked her down, and went out.
No details needed, but it was quite a refreshing meal. Not the food, but the conversation. Made me really commit to fixing something I've let hang for oh, 20+ years or so...probably longer. Just sailing through ignoring the elephant in the room and struggling year after year all the while. So -- I think in addition to trying to find ways to scale back, 2009 will also be a year of taking care of my health. Fully, not just pieces of it. Giving in and fixing what's broke.
And its the first time in weeks I slept soundly. Not long. Only 5 hours, which is not enough...but at least I slept through.
So - good night overall.
