Never rains but it pours...

So after just spending a scary amount of money all in one go at the opticians, guess what? I'm going to be spending at least that much again at the dentists... I don't have *bad* teeth, they're all straight (and have been all my life) but when I was a teenager one of my little rebellions was not taking care of my teeth so I have a lot of fillings (and one crown). Two fillings came out last year but they weren't causing pain or discomfort and I never bothered getting them fixed.

Still not causing me pain, but another filling came out this morning. Between my two front teeth. I now have a gap between those teeth wider than Madonna's...

Joy.

I *really* hate the dentists! (In fact it's been so long since I've been that I doubt I'm still on their books any more which means I'll have to re-register and hope they're still taking on NHS patients!)

I kinda haven't done anything I was planning to do last night - I closed voting on ZS but don't have banners done, I ddin't do the beta work for [livejournal.com profile] smhwpf I was planning to do, I didn't finish the post I started yesterday on [livejournal.com profile] _dontcomehome_, I didn't add anything to the ongoing post on [livejournal.com profile] _inthedarkness, I didn't get the site I'm building for a mate finished despite him sending me all the details I asked him for, I didn't do any organising for the Secret Santa at work that suddenly I'm organising again...

Lethargic is probably the word for what I was last night. Cold and grumpy are the words for today I think.

So yeah, I can't get an appointment. And the woman on the phone was a bitch about it. Kinda pushed me over the edge a little so I'm not going to be worth much for the rest of today.

Don't be all blah dood!

Dentist are always rude when you aint private. It's a rule. Like choosing the wrong cue in supermarket. It's to be endured and forgotten about after the bill is paid!

See if the link on this page will cheer you up...

*grin* I hope that's the same one I saw at the convention - that was sheer class!

(dling it now - my PC's being really slow!)

Yurgh. Believe me, dental stuff is something you want to get sorted, even if the bureaucracy is a pain in the ass! Better than a searing, agonising pain in the teeth and gums...

So far (touch wood) it's not painful, but I will be phoning round all my local dentists to try to get on someone's books in the morning.

(or, the Dental Hospital is attached to the uni - not sure how I feel about letting students loose on my teeth but if it comes to it...)

Gah. Sorry for you.

Me, I usually make it a point to go to the dentist at least once a year, and it's saved me from having any major issues, just a one year possibly painful trip. :)

And 'tis the season to be lethargic. But not grumpy, that's right un-Christmasy.

And just think ...

My boy, I think someday
You'll find a way to make your natural tendencies pay

You'll be a dentist
You have a talent for causing things pain
Son, be a dentist
People will pay you to be inhumane
Your temperament's wrong for the priesthood
And teaching would suit you still less
Son, be a dentist
You'll be a success

:)

Sorry about the dental issues! And sorry about all the trouble you're having to go through!

*slightly sad smile*

'Tis the season, whatever that means.

That's about all you can say!
