Catch up blog.... and a gaping hole in my mouth

I've just returned from the dentist, with a numb mouth, a hole where a tooth used to be and some gauze in the spot where the tooth was. Above all that, I got a discount because the tooth came out easily! So it only cost me $160 instead of $180. Still $20 is $20. I can't wait for the anaesthetic to wear off - NOT.
The tooth fairy better come tonight too or I'll be pissed off. She'll probably try the old "but we're in the midst of a recession" routine. HAHAHA

Anyway, here's something to ponder. How the hell, can you get hayfever in the middle of winter? Can someone please answer that. I know it's not the flu or a head cold. Just the weeping eyes, snotty nose that runs like a tap that needs a new washer and sneezing like a sneezing thing. Thought I was going to sneeze my head off my shoulders last night. Thus the reason I didn't swim yesterday. One thinks that maybe, just maybe, there are some early blooming trees with big flowers that have set it off. We've a flowering tree in our yard at the moment that may be the cause, don't know.

Anywho, Tuesday and Thursday swims were really cool. I had an excellent swim both days.

So, now with some pain killers and a new gauze in my mouth, I'm going to chill out for the rest of the day.
