I’ll begin by saying that I had a crown put on yesterday afternoon; or rather, I had my tooth drilled and a temporary crown put on. The permanent crown is put on in a few weeks. For anyone who has ever thought about neglecting his/her dental hygiene…DON’T DO IT!! I had to have a crown put on because, surprise surprise, I grind my teeth at night to the point where after 32 years, I have started cracking my teeth. My advice? Yoga…exercise…bubble baths…competitive archery…go on Survivor…do whatever you can do (if possible) to reduce the stress in your life because, it ain’t worth it…even with nitrous oxide.
I feel like one of those “The More You Know” public service announcements on NBC.
The upside…hopefully no root canal…the other upside, in keeping with the theme of the blog…is that I can sit here at home doped up on various pain medications and still get some work done and not have to talk to anyone or pretend like I feel great. 
The desk and chair were delivered yesterday and my dear, wonderful husband put the desk together while I was Vicodin’d out on the couch (I have a vague recollection of Everybody Loves Raymond and something about meatballs…). The office is starting to take shape. I need to figure out what to put on the walls…white board? Bulletin board? Politically incorrect calendars of scantily clad men? I will need t give that further thought.
Is it common of new “virtual office” workers to start losing track of what day it is? I remember a few years ago I had bronchitis and was stuck at home for a week…and that was back when Starz! showed the same movie at the same time every day. I watched Good Will Hunting every day at 11 a.m. for five days and started to lose track of the days of the week…that’s kind of where I am right now. If someone can tell me what reality shows are on tonight though, that helps to get me back in sync with the universe.
I just checked with one of my friends and The Bachelor is on tonight so that would…make…it…Wednesday.
Whew. Now that I’m back on track…I need to get back to work.
