Taking Care of Yourself.

So far this year I have committed myself to making sure I am healthy.  I have gone in for medical check ups I have put off, getting quite a bit of dental work done, taking vitamins, etc.

So yesterday I had to get a tooth surgically removed, I opted to pay extra for the nitrous oxide since I am a chair-arm gripper at the regular dentist.  That stuff really does take the edge off, hell, it makes the doctor your new best friend.  However I am proud of myself for being brave and making that appointment before it became an emergency situation.  I am on medication for the pain which dulls it enough that I am not holding my face, however I do find myself highly agitated and totally without patience today.  I believe that is for 2 reasons, the dull pain and the lack of smoking.

This too shall pass, then I will have my next round at the dentist in 2 weeks.  Gotta schedule an eye exam for March (dang, it really is a bitch getting older isn't it).

All in all, life is good, I am happy and still enjoying my new life.  Just waiting for the warmer weather to get here already.  Bring on spring, I am ready to start some container gardening.
