Motivated? What's "motivated", precious?
yah... all in all it was a fun adventure. Don't get into downtown very often and this was smack into the heart of the beast. Grime, crime, cops, prostitutes, pimps, punks, hippies, drunks... and pretty Christmas lights.
It's kinda fun every now and then, in a film-noir sort of way. Needed a trenchcoat, hat and cigar.
Sticker shock, huh? We've been considering whether or not to go all electric because the price of the two have now become competitive!
Awww... iddntdat sweeeet!!??
Yaaaay you! Don'tcha love having "smug cook" rights?
You're gonna have to share that recipe, ya know...
Okay, new game plan.
Wife is having surgery on Tuesday at 12:05. I'm having surgery Wednesday at 9:35.
Wife's sister is coming up Monday to help and will stay thru Christmas. Her husband and stepson will come up and spend Christmas with us (hmmmmmm....just remembered Hannukah starts the same day, step-nephew is Jewish...)
It's an all-operate!
*shakes head*
Heh...it was almost worse than that. My surgery was originally scheduled for Tuesday at 1:00 p.m.
Tooth. Tea bag. Blood.
Discuss.
I've heard it works. Dunno why.
Heh...yep...that'll stop the bleeding. Feels good too.
After they pull the tooth, they'll stick some gauze in there. When you get home, steep a bag of plain tea...Lipton, you know? Give the tea to the wife to drink and then take the warm (not scalding hot) teabag and wad it up in place of the gauze. It should stop the bleeding...if not, do it again after about 15-20 minutes.
It feels so good but beware you don't burn yourself if the area is numb.
I'm having a tooth removed. They're also doing a bone graft so that later they can put in an implant.
Thanks. I'll try that.
Thank goodness Mrs. S's sister can come up and be with y'all during the holidays!
Warm tea bag compresses for extracted teeth are just the best. One of those things that just make you want to cry...you know? Such a kindness for someone who's been through something a tad traumatic.
The first time I tried it was when I had my wisdom teeth pulled, my boyfriend at the time steeped it for me and brought it to me. I did cry, that someone cared about me enough to do that. Make me feel so much better, you know?
Yeah, otherwise I would've had to postpone this tooth thing. I'm not in pain, but it ~is~ infected and I'm skeered it's gonna flare up at any time. If I put it off, I'd have to put it off until February.
We're outta here. We have our "New Vine Small Group" ~meeting~ tonite.
Five couples. 10 bottles of wine.
Hope that's enough.
Thought you might ask :)
From RMDupree:
I get a call at work from my mom who had just come back from the school. The kids had started the last song (O Christmas Tree) when all of the sudden, the kid standing directly behind Rebecca got sick.
She vomited on the back of Becky's pants.
Becky's retelling was funny though. She sings the last line and halfway through "branches" she makes the nastiest vomit sounds. Eeeewwww!
So "singing 'branches'" means to bazooka-barf on somebody :)
