Exhaustion..

by Karoli on March 13, 2006

My Day

  • Internet issues
  • Way too many web updates on way too many different sites
  • Band booster meeting dealing with fundraising, my least favorite topic. When will I learn to keep myself in the background and not get sucked into this stuff?
  • Work backlogs on all the jobs
  • Long weekend with competitions and other family stuff (Do birthday celebrations really have to stretch over more than a week?)
  • Piled laundry
  • Teeth from hell

If I had any functioning brain cells, I’d consider diverting myself by looking for that perfect 1000th photo, but it would take awhile and I think I don’t have another 2am bedtime in me.

Tomorrow I have to get an emergency dentist appointment to deal with the ongoing issues with my teeth. It’s been awhile since they told me the uppers and front four lowers have to go. Now they do. One of the lowers managed to get knocked out by a renegade piece of pizza yesterday. (Yes, that’s now fragile they are) That is the most depressing part of my day. I hate my teeth. I hate going to the dentist. I hate the idea of having dentures at 47.

I hate the dentist looking at me like I’m a meth addict or something (meth addicts are famous for tooth problems). Mine are purely the result of bad teeth to begin with, substandard nutrition and calcium intake in the early years and one orthodontist’s efforts to fix everything over a seven-year period. There’s a reason they don’t leave braces on for that long — the teeth underneath rot, no matter how good you are, and I wasn’t as a kid. Now I’m compulsive and have been for years, but it doesn’t make any difference.

Procrastination sucks, because now I have no choice (not that I ever did), I’m depressed about it, feel hideous and really stupid. I think it must be bedtime.

  • Kmilyun and Sneadwoman,

    Reading your comments this morning was a breath of fresh perspective. Thank you so much!

    I have an appointment on the 15th to finally deal with this and I am determined to see it through this time instead of engaging in denial. Hopefully they can deal with it fast and well.
  • Listen -- going to the dentist sucks. But when you're done -- your whole outlook is goign to change. you state of dental repair has NOTHING to do with you as a person.

    You are more than the sum of your teeth :)
  • After reading that I feel so much better -

    I was to lazy to make dinner so I mixed yesterdays beans with Saturdays Kung Pao chicken. It actually was not that bad :)

    I got my new drivers license in the mail today - I have always half joked about the bad pictures on em - but honestly, no joke, it is so bad that my friends just looked at me and asked - can you get them to take another one? They were serious - it is so bad. I look like I am dead.

    It has been so cold the last few days here. The heater decided it will only come on when it wants to - irrelevant to the current temperature or settings. Perhaps kicking it was not the best response but it did come on - for awhile.

    I messed up and forgot to go to our Dog Park Commitee meeting tonight. So much for dependability. ...

    I am so ready for spring to get here so I can take the dogs on a nice hike and maybe take a nice motorcycle ride along the river road.

    I hope you get the teeth thing over and done with. I am lucky, my roomies brother is a good dentist. Maybe you will get to slow down a little while you take care of it all?

    After my strokes I know one thing for sure - Life is good as long as your breathing.
    Breath in breath out laugh out load cause it is good for you.
