Tuesday morning dawned tired, sluggish…and terrified. My Endodontic appointment is today, and I am scared to the bone. The past three times that I went to my regular dentist, he began by giving me a shot…drilling until I was in pain…another shot…more drilling…another shot…more drilling. Each time, he made three attempts to deaden my tooth, and drill, and then sent me home for a week or so to wait. If I just knew that this dentist would deaden it completely, and finish the job…in the first attempt…my fear would be reduced by at least 99%! I have been praying about it, and I know that I need to relax before I get there, in order to work with the anesthesia.
Apparently, there was a huge mix up with Shane’s arrival time last night. I had decided a couple of days ago, to go and meet his plane, then yesterday, Candy sent an email and really wanted to surprise him by picking him up. I was fairly certain that he would be much more thrilled to see Candy, than mom and dad, so we waited at home to hear from him when he landed. In the meantime he realized, just as he got to the airport to come home, that he had told everyone the wrong arrival time… As far as he knew…his truck would be sitting in short term parking waiting for him…and we would all be at home awaiting his phone call, telling us that he had landed safe and sound, so he didn’t see any need to call and correct the time that he had told us, especially since the right time was actually much earlier. I’m sure that you can see where this is going! Poor Candy had decided to go to the airport a bit early (thank goodness) in case he got in a few minutes early. Apparently, he sent her a text as he was landing, telling her that he was landing…and she didn’t respond. The reason that she didn’t respond, was that she was still in route, and driving like crazy, trying to get there, park, and get inside to meet him! As he got off the plane, he called his sister to find out exactly where she had parked his truck, so that he could go get it. As he walked down the ramp talking to her, she was doing everything she could not to give Candy’s surprise away, when he spotted Candy…out of breath…and still hurrying! Meanwhile, I was at home, checking on arrival times, confirming that the plane from Dallas was ‘on time’ which it was (little did I know that there was more than one flight from Dallas last night). Shane finally called us at 10:30 or so, to tell us that he had actually landed at 8:50…! The best laid plans…J
Today looks like another day of sitting here, searching for something to do. I am leaving at 2:00 for the dentist though…so that will help a bit! My appointment is at 3:00…but, it is on the west side…I have no idea where, and I need to be a bit early (first time patient info and all).
Marvin picked me up for lunch, which was wonderful! We went to Hog Wild, and ate a baked potato! I am now sitting here…my filing is finished, and I am watching the clock for time to leave!!
Be Well!
