Throbbing Thursday

Lucky me, I get to go for my dental crown tonight. (Gee, have I mentioned lately that I hate going to the dentist–sweet, nice, friendly though he is?) The truly sad part is that I don’t even have any knitting in my purse to keep my fingers occupied in the waiting room–I haven’t started a new pair of socks since finishing the others last weekend, and don’t have anything else to easily fit into my purse. I just hope I won’t have to wait for long! And I wonder what I’ll be doing about supper tonight, when my tooth is throbbing? (Man, I hate going to the dentist….)

Edited to add: Nope, still don’t have the crown. Turns out, he had to do a root canal, so I have to go back on Tuesday. (sigh)

Zoe, the technician, asked me where my knitting was, though, and we had a nice little chat about knitting before the dentist came in. That was something, anyway! (I told you they were nice people.)

Now, it’s quarter-to-seven. John is still here, trying to finish up my parents’ bathroom before he leaves, since he won’t be here tomorrow. Chappy’s downstairs, whimpering at being by himself (even though he doesn’t seem to want to be too near the dentist-breath–not that I blame him). I’m going to take my shower as soon as John leaves, make some tea and curl up with my knitting! Isn’t it Friday yet??

Meanwhile, please check out this article about telling the story of Hamlet in the African bush . . . it’s hilarious. (And thanks to Christine at Mirabilis for the link!)

And, thanks to my SP5 for the e-card!

  2. Gosh – I understand the dentist fear. I need to go desperately but have been avoiding it. I hope it’s not too bad.

  3. I got my prize and it is even BETTER live than online :D Thanks again for the super fun contest (and the dreamy pullover I will have someday soon).

  4. I love that article. I teach college theatre and I love dropping that bomb whenever any of my students begins to wax a little too philosophical about the “universality” of theatre.
