It's been a busy week. Despite this, I manage to get the dental appointment in today. I was kind of nervous when all of the drills were brought out, and i was even more nervous when she mentioned needles. However, I let her do it, realizing that cavities do not go away on their own, and it's often worse to have a tooth extracted than it is to have it filled.

I made it through the appointment. The needles weren't pleasant, but they were not the Medieval torture that i expected. It took a while, but I was able to walk home. Now I'm just waiting for the local anesthetics to wear off. I'll have to treat myself to something Monday. Although porpoises are fond of chocolate-covered pretzels in ice cream, I think a non-food reward might be in order. Do not believe the fishing industry propaganda about porpoises liking herrings.
