I went to the dentist early today. I could have gone to work afterwards but decided to skip it altogether due to complications with my root canal and some other issues which are fortunately working themselves out. The dentist wasn't able to complete his work "due to a particularly difficult pallial canal". So he patched the hole he had bore through with his drill and told me to come back in a month or so to be continued. On the way home I stopped at the coffee shoppe for a light breakfast, then I headed home where I ingested some painkillers (I wasn't hurting but I like to keep ahead of the pain, also see footnote 1 below). The pain killers worked: I slept for approximately 5 hours. I got up and did some minor housework, checked email, visited some internet sites, logged on to TK, made a couple posts and turned on the tele to find there's nothing interesting on as usual.
1. If you wait until the pain starts then it's too late <-- my philosophy on pain therapy.
