God I'm slow getting started with this this morning.
I do tend to get slowed down by people writing me and asking why I am being so pokey, because no matter how slow I am about answering email, when I'm procrastinating about my entry, the turnaround time on an email is about four seconds! So if you time it right, you're sure to get an answer.
Just a little tip from me to you!
So the other day I realized that I probably had a new cavity, as one of my teeth was hellishly sensitive to cold these days, so I finally called the dentist and booked an appointment for a cleaning and checkup.
And, immediately after hanging up the phone, I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Couldn't hurt!
So yesterday I went to good old Dr. Berman and he stabbed my teeth for an hour or so after using the most foul cherry flavoured topical anaesthetic in all the land. It was like a really gross cough drop.
When I made yeching noises, he exclaimed that this one had gotten the most positive responses of all of the topical anaesthetics--which only leads me to marvel at the thought of how wretched the others must be. What were they, poop flavoured?
Anyway, it turns out that I have four loose fillings, but no new cavities. So that panic brushing after making the appointment actually worked!
An exchange on Diary L over the past couple of days:

This is the most cheerfully rude and opinionated mailing list I have ever had the privilege to join.
DIRK
Oh yeah? Go soak your head.
EDEA
I will if you tell me what I should soak it in.
ME
A bucket! A bucket, woman! When one is invited to go soak one's head, the
use of a bucket is assumed and therefor not spelled out. Honestly, these kids today...
EDEA
But the real question is....what should be in the bucket before I soak my head?
ME
Well, some people would recommend something horrid like goat urine or cold
sick, but as a connoisseur, I think that water is the only proper head-soaking liquid. I'm sure I saw that on Martha Stewart Living.
"When inviting someone to go soak their head, be certain to have a bucket of water on hand, at a temperature of about 50 degrees. This water is from my well here on Turkey Hill Road,and I definitely find it to be sweeter and more full-bodied than ordinary tap water. I found these lovely little old-fashioned wooden buckets at an antique store in the Hamptons, but you can easily make them yourself using bits of an old board fence, some 20 gauge wire, a bandsaw and a hot glue gun."
EDEA
It's a good thing!
In re horoscope below, I thought I was only going out to dinner with Lucy, Tracing and Amanda! Tomorrow's entry could certainly be interesting...
Today's horoscope:
Slow, sensuous and savoring is the style. Trade back rubs with someone you love
and ENJOY! Share food and mutual pleasure.
