I went to the dentist this morning b/c I had a crown that felt loose. Good thing I went in, because the dentist could pluck the crown out of my mouth with little difficulty. They took x-rays … bad news. My body is “eating” the remainder of the tooth, as he so nicely put it, so he can’t put a new crown on. Instead, I’m going back into his office this afternoon so he can remove what’s left. Then, I have to heal for six weeks before he can do anything else … which means, yes, I’m going to have a gaping hole in my mouth. Good gawd. And yes, it’s f-ing noticeable when I smile, because I have a wide smile. Oh yeah, this is REALLY going to help my plan to introduce some adult fun into my life! Ugh.

Update — I was in and out of the dentist in 15 minutes, start to finish. That included novocaine time plus paying my bill. The dentist kept telling me how tough I was — I honestly couldn’t feel a damn thing, even when he was apologizing. I was just like, hey, Dr. Phil’s on! My jaw is a little sore but nothing a few more aleve won’t fix. Easiest dental procedure ever. I am just a bit tired and grumpy.

I went over to Scott’s tonight and we ended up watching the Wings game. They fucking suck, btw. Anyway, I should have stayed home. His humor was getting on my nerves. He goes to bed a lot earlier than me and kept making remarks about how it was his bedtime (and not in a hint-hint kind of way). So after the first period ended I got up to leave and he was surprised that I was leaving. I ended up staying until 5 minutes before the second intermission. I think he felt bad b/c I had an e-mail from him by the time I got home.

I am self-conscious about the “gap” and will have to spend some time in front of the mirror this weekend figuring it out. It’s not like me to not smile so I need to decide what I can do without looking like a hobo. The dentist called me about 8:45 to check on me; I didn’t recognize the number so I let it go to VM. He left me his home phone. I laughed at that b/c it was such a minor procedure. My friend Denise has the hots for him so I’ll have to lord the voice mail over her. I don’t even know if he’s married!

Oh, another reason I was irked tonight was b/c Scott says he has to finish this online course he’s taking for work. It’s a 30-hour course and he has 6 hours left. He’s ignored it for the past 3 weeks so he wants to get it done by Sunday night. He’s also watching the NFL draft this weekend. I was like, there’s your Saturday night, baby.

Yeah, I need to get some sleep. I’m annoying even myself!

Update 2 – The Wings super suck. The Sharks won at the Joe. Gah. Anyway, I realized while typing an e-mail a few minutes ago, that this is the point in a new relationship when I’d usually show up at Ryan’s door, because at least I knew what would happen there. Sigh. My new co-worker was telling me about her “Ryan.” She’s deleted him from her IM list, although she hasn’t blocked him from sending her messages. Sigh. She did take my advice and changed his name in her phone from Justin to “Do not contact.” (Ryan was “Think Twice.”) This guy has a girlfriend but keeps calling M., saying he misses her. Then he said that he and the gf aren’t “sexually compatible” like he and M. were. Well, too fucking bad. But M’s not at the same place as me. She still likes the guy. Super sigh.
