...and 3 cavities later I am back at work

I just got back from the dentist (aka SATAN - yes, satan means dentist in phaiwaineese or some language I am sure of it!). I have to get 3 fillings. UGH! 3! I brush 2-3 times a day and I floss nightly. So why the fillings? Soda! Yes, soda, I am sure, is the cause of my mouth's misery. Yet, I cannot seem to stop sipping the sweet stuff. I think it is the caffeine that makes me all soda crazy, or maybe it is the taste, or a luscious combination of both. Well, I did get a new toothbrush and some floss out of the deal, so I guess it ain't a total loss. I have to go in to the dentist twice to get all of the fillings done, so that means 2 rounds with the novacaine needle. Yukkers. I hate thta novacaine shot. It hurts like hell, which is appropriate since the dentist is SATAN after all.

I had a new hygienist this morning. She was all about sticking me with that scraping tool thingamabob. She asked me if my gums bled when I brushed and I said "yes." (they have since I was a kid). She said I was a real bleeder (lol). Well you would be too if you were getting stabbed in the gums with a metal poker! Ouch! She stabbed me in the gums a few times and I know she wasn't trying to scrape anything off of my gums. I think she just slipped, and my gums paid the price for it. So bleed they did.

So, I have to go back on Monday the 17th and then on the 27th again. Yuk. I am not looking forward to it.

I went to get me some Micky D's after the dentist, since I didn't eat any breakfast this morning cuz of the dentist appointment. I got one Sausage Mc Muffin .... and 10 napkins. No, I didn't ask for 10 napkins. They just gave them to me. I guess they figure you need 10 napkins for one Mc Muffin. Either that or they thought I was gonna make a mess. I don't understand why they give you so many napkins, hot sauces, ketchups, etc. You ask for 1 and they give you 10. So if you have a large group and are ordering 10 hamburgers, fully expect them to just give you the whole napkin holder and a bag full of ketchup.
