It's hard to talk with someone's hands in your mouth.

Here’s some math for you:

One ½ bottle Proseco + One Tylenol PM = brrrrrrglarghwhu?zzzzzzzzzzzzz

As evidenced by the following conversation this morning between my man and me-

Les: Whoa. One Tylenol PM! I was OUT.
M: I know. You wouldn’t respond to my… advances.
Les: Oh no, baby. I COULDN’T respond to your advances.
(I’m not one to ignore advances.)

This morning I went to the dentist. I have mixed feelings about visiting the mouth-doctor. I’m excited about the “reset” that happens (they’ll find something that I may have fucked up in the last six months), but well, you know. I look at going to the dentist the same way I do flying: I’m not particularly nervous about it, but I recognize the potential for great pain.
Here are some things I noticed on this particular visit:
-I am made irrationally happy by the hygienist telling me that I have beautiful teeth and that it’s obvious I take care of them.
-I immediately revert to childish glee when given a new “toy” (in this case, the straw-sucker thing that you put in your mouth to suck out water and drool- I employed its use with vim!).
-The walls are not as nice as they should be in that office. I found myself investigating every corner and scrutinizing every painting mistake and uneven bit on the wall. There were several scratches and chips in the paint where the overzealous hygienist had banged the long mechanical arm of the torture apparatus. There was wall paint on the ceiling. There was a swab-thing next to but not in the trash. Hmm. Shoddy. Probably not something I would have noticed had I not been trying to distract myself from the scraping (even beautiful teeth need scraping occasionally when they see the volume of coffee and red wine that mine do).

Anyway, I made it out alive. Thank Jeebus. I rolled into work at just before 10 (did you know that some people don’t get to work until 10am regularly? What’s that about? Whatever.)
Tonight I am looking forward to sushi and a movie with the man, and tomorrow? Who knows… maybe ADVENTURE!
