it was a very close call, but for about an hour today there was a chance i wouldn’t be able to go to victoria for my annual visit.
turns out that my boss made a typo in an email back in MARCH which meant that there had never been anyone booked to cover for my days off work next week. the thing is, i was prepping my desk for the days away and thought “i should check who’s filling in next week” and asked HR. it’s a good thing i did, otherwise, mr. supervisor would have been stuck with an empty desk for three days – and i would have had mountains of work and a frantic boss to return to. we’re all lucky i’m so diligent, i guess.
in other news, i spent my morning at the dentist having my broken crown replaced with a temporary one, a cavity filled and my troublesome crown ground down in hopes of making it less painful. my dentist had to give me three needlesful of freezing, but i still felt half the procedure. you see, i’m sensitive to epinephrine, so i can’t have the “normal” anesthetic, but the slower-acting, shorter-lasting kind. every time i would wince in pain because the freezing was coming out my poor dentist would get upset and reach for that big, scary needle. eep!
then, i was reminded of why i never make dentist appointments for the morning. the entire left side of my face was still frozen when i got into the office. then the freezing started to come out. ow. i thought it was bad when i was in the chair. nope. i spent most of the day suddenly grabbing my face as blinding pain shot through my teeth. fun!
at least now i have a new a tooth on order!
and, i’m on my way to my little mini-vacation first thing tomorrow. i can’t wait! i get to hang out with my mom, two cats and i have a lunch date with the fabulous mrs. nixon! on top of all that awesome, colene rearranged her entire tuesday evening to drive all the way out to the ferry terminal to pick me up. how lucky am i to have such an generous friend? SO lucky!
y’all have yourselves a great weekend, y’hear! ;)
