Crowned...

So - I needed the dental variety of crown. Got to start the work on that today, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I've been through a root canal, so this? This was a plate of cookies. Sure, I was nervous about the shot, but luckily my dentist is very generous with the pre-numbing gel. So it was okay. Learned a couple of things, though:

First, don't open your eyes during drilling. I got a piece of tooth in my eye. They offered me, and I am not making this up, safety glasses after I got it out.

Second, don't try to be all cute and put on lip gloss right after your dental visit, while you're sitting in your car selecting music for the ride home. You might think you can rock lip gloss application without a mirror when your face is numb, but you might wind up with it all over your chin.

Ah - there's a third thing! You might absorb the second lesson by realizing the lip gloss is all over your chin after you've driven all the way home.

Enjoy your afternoon. I'm off to run some unexpected errands and treat myself to ice cream.
