Yesterday I spent the evening at the eye doctor. I plunked down 105.00 for the exam and 260.00 for my new contacts. Apparently, my insurance only covers 1 visit per 2 years!?! Ugh. My eyes have been a little drier than usual and I’ve been a little worried ever since my saline solution was recalled. I was expecting the worst yet the optometrist said my eyes are perfectly fine– as long as you don’t count my astigmatism and myopia.

This evening I spent at the dentist. Yes, I am trying to get myself fixed up. I’ve been walking around like a car with its bumper falling off. So I went to the dentist and he drilled out two cavities and filled them with some dark substance. Right before he started to drill he asked me, “You want Novocaine?”

“What do you think?”

He got out a nice long needle and shoved it deep into my jaw. The right side of my face went numb and he commenced with the drilling. I kept my eyes closed the entire time because it bothered me to see the spittle and chunks of tooth spraying from my mouth and hitting Dr. T in the face. I tell you, when he dies, he is going straight to heaven. About halfway through, he said to me, “Damn girl, you got a big mouth! Although not as big as your mother’s.” I had a feeling he said that to all his patients.

Tomorrow I have an evening business event. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks working on it. It should go well. Of course, I am not looking forward to staying out all night. And I really need to start preparing for it right now. I need to epilate my leg hair, remove my toenail polish and apply a new fresh coat. I really must exfoliate and moisturize my heels and find the dress I want to wear. I also need to pluck my eyebrows. Ugh!
