On the mend 2005

Finally feeling more normal by the end of the day today, which is good because it was the first day back to work since last Tuesday and I could have overdone it. I think easing into things Saturday evening and Sunday and Monday helped. Not too much activity, but enough.

Yesterday I went to the dentist (which is why I had the extra day off) and they used a new device on me for my cleaning. It's an ultrasonic tool instead of the scraping horror one usually endures and it's vastly preferable. For once I came out thinking "well, there are certainly other ways I would prefer to have spent the last hour" but not in the depressed, invaded and abused mood I usually feel after dental work or pelvic exams. (Yes, I know they're doing it for my health and hurt as little as they can, but still, I wind up sad and wanting comfort food and cuddling).  I'm pretty pleased with this dentist, Dr. Perona. This was my second visit and I think I've found a good match. My last one unfortunately like to talk politics and social issues and I think we were in opposite camps on most things. Very nervous-making to disagree with someone who has sharp implements in your mouth.

Well, time to brush and floss properly (yessir) and then enjoy another night of proper sleep. You don't truly appreciate it until you've done without for a few nights!

Stay well, everyone.

Blog (noun) A weblog or similar brief journal usually containing links and commentary thereon. Term coined by Peter Merholz.
Visit Typepad or Blogger to start your own. (I began with hand coding, then switched to Blogger when it first became available, then to Movable Type when I wanted more control over my weblog and to have it hosted at a place of my choosing (Hurricane Electric). Now I use Typepad, built by the same folks who made Movable Type and I love it).
