Not-so-bad-in-the-grand-scheme-of-things news

And it turns out that my sinus infection that was really an ear infection is in actuality an abscessed tooth.

I went to the dentist today for a couple of fillings and I told him about the face pain as well as the swelling of my gums (I didn't telly you guys this part. My swollen gum actually "popped" and I had to spit out some yucky white stuff.) He tested my upper right back molar with some sort of electrical device. I didn't feel a thing, which he said means the tooth is dead. If it had any nerve left, I'd have felt a tingling with the electrical probe. *sigh*. I've never had a root canal and I dread it. I DREAD IT.

Not to mention the cost. Thankfully we have really good insurance, but even with that I'm dropping a cool $500.

And there goes the first chunk of the income tax refund. I wonder what will be next. C'mon, start lining up, all you unexpected-expenses. I know you're out there! Let's just get this over with.

Well, even if you can't actually pamper yourself, there is fun in daydreaming about it. Next time you get your extra you should make yourself do something fun. Even if the car breaks down, go to the spa anyway!!
