Finally Friday!!!

Turns out that the whole root canal thing really wasn't too bad which is a very good thing since the damn little pill they gave me didn't do anything. The dentist gave me quite a few shots of Novocaine and got me really numbed up and it was ok. I think the part that really helped was that I took my MP3 player and tried really hard to ignore what they were doing. Then I came home and went to bed until the numbness wore off. Right now it's a bit sore where he gave me all the shots but otherwise I'm good. Works for me.
My paper holder project is no more. I couldn't get all the pieces back together. The wood was in too bad of condition and it just wouldn't go back together. So I have an idea for a future project. I kept the wheels from the bottom which were probably worth the $15 alone and later I'll spend probably another 30 or so on some wood and make a new one.
Otherwise not much happening. I've got 5 nights off and I'm hoping to go to the beach or somewhere for at least one of those days. That and I need to seriously clean my house. At any rate I won't be at work this weekend which is a very good thing.

Glad to hear it wasn't too bad at the dentist's.
Shame about the paper holder.
And have a lovely time at the beach!

I'm glad to hear the root canal went well! Sometimes I think the worst part of dental work for me is the anxiety I build leading up to it. I like the idea of taking your mp3 player with you. I'll have to try that next time!

Too bad about the pill not working. Usually that's the best part! Glad it went OK.

I was terrified of my root canal, and very surprised how it didn't hurt at all. Glad it wasn't the torture many say it is...

Glad the root canal was ok. And, too bad the paper holder didn't work out. Hope your weekend off was wonderful.
