A Fairly Nice Day

Amazingly enough we had a little sun today and the temperature is 57 degrees. We went for a walk and then Alexa played outside for a while with her ball.


The less happy news is that I have to have a root canal at 7:30 am tomorrow. I hate going to the dentist and I hate root canals. I had a really mean oral surgeon do my first root canal about 5 years ago and it hurt for some reason. He left me sitting alone in the room for about 15 minutes with it hurting and when he cam back he rudely commented "What are you crying about?" I also had one dentist accidently poke me in the nerve with the needle while trying to numb my mouth. Now that was just an accident and not evidence of incompetence, but it added to my already significant dentist anxiety. So now I avoid the dentist until my teeth are so messed up that I have to have root canals. Again, I know this is shooting myself in the foot behavior, but I can't seem to overcome it. Anyway, the dentist today was really nice and I explained to him why I didn't come see someone earlier and he was very kind about pointing out that a little preventative dental care would hopefully preclude future root canals. I will give it another try, but it is hard to overcome fear with logic somehow.
Here is another video of Alexa. I admit it isn't that fascinating if you aren't her mother, but I am sure I will someday be glad to have these little everyday moments captured.

And as always, thank you for reading!
