All I want for Christmas...

I paid my visit to the dentist today and it looks like somebody's getting quite the Christmas present this year... Nothing quite says holiday cheer like spending family's Christmas money on getting daddy a root canal! Not fun. I've already had a root canal before and while the procedure itself does suck pretty bad, I'm sure it's not the same at all when I know it's comming out of my pocket.


Also, I noticed that picture I posted previously of my tooth was unacceptibly sub-par so here goes attempt #2 at selfdentalphotography:

Work'n, Play'n, Work'n and a Little Tooth Decay'n

Times is kinda busy but mostly very good these days. The job is still going good, I'm slowly becoming the rock collector guy at work. No, that dosn't mean I'm the one who they make go collect rocks for everyone else. A "rock collector" is a machine and since the engineer I replaced was the previous specialest on the matter I've been tasked with becoming the new go-to-guy.


Susie is getting to be more and more fun to play with. She walks all over now and every day when I come home for lunch or after work she gets totaly amped to see me (that feels nice).


The house is shaping up nicely, aside from the few days last week we went without hot water and I found a big puddle in the basement that wasn't even related to the fritzed water heater. (all is well now though)


Tomorrow morning I've got my first dentist appointment in I think 8 years. With as bad of teeth as I've had my whole life it was pretty dumb of me not to be going regularly and even now it took alot to make me go back. I've had a bottom molar that hasn't been in good shape for a while, then a few months ago it broke a bit and left a big hole on the back of it. But since it didn't really hurt I was dumb enough to just ignore it (except for when large amounts of food would get stuck in it). In the last couple weeks its started hurting quite a bit so I finaly broke down and set up an appointment to get it taken care of.
For as bad as my tooth hurts, I'm dissapointed it dosn't show up better in a pic. But blow up the pic and check out the second tooth from the back on my left.
