A Little of This and A Little of That

We got new window coverings installed last week. Oh my goodness they make such a huge difference in here! (I still have to remove the curtain rod hooks.)

 Beth had another visit with the endodontist.

They numbed the area, then cleaned out the teeth. They stopped for a minute and I really think she fell asleep! You guys, she was getting TWO root canals!! All of the sudden she relaxed and her breathing got loud... how does she do that?!

 I peeked into the nest yesterday and... it's happening!

 We had about 2 weeks of gorgeous sunshine recently. That is very rare in April around here.

Sharaya and I are going to Pennsylvania in a couple weeks. We're going to help Diana with wedding planning! Chuck's taking a couple days off work to stay here with Ally and Beth so it'll just be the three of us. We'll go dress shopping and get Rita's Ice-Custard and I think we'll get to see the venues... we've only got a few days but I'm really looking forward to hanging out with them!

I Think the Crows Read My Blog

Beth had another dentist appointment this week. She's got to have a total of 3 root canals plus a crown. This was her second visit for all of this work and I'm nervous for her, but she's perfectly fine with it. The endodontist keeps talking about how good she is as a patient. We got there early and she fell asleep in the waiting room.

 

I made a few more greeting cards. I really love doing this, it takes me out of my routine and I get to be creative. It really is therapeutic.

In my last post I wrote about how the crows were dive bombing this poor hawk. I really think the crows are the bullies of the bird world! Well, Beth and I ran some errands after her dentist appointment and a crow pooped on me!! We were walking out of Safeway and had just cleared the roof when... splat!! It was like he was waiting for me! And it's a brand new sweater, the first time I'd ever worn it!

 

I cleaned it with cold water before throwing it in the wash. Thankfully it all came out and it looks like new again. 

Have you ever had a bird poop on you?

What do you do to relax or get out of a rut?

The Really Frightening Part...

 I took Beth to the dentist on Wednesday. Well, actually it was the Endodontist. She has to have a root canal on a tooth that already had a root canal.

She's been on state health insurance and she wasn't getting the best care so we switched her to Chuck's insurance and now she's getting some real work done.

 This time they just took some x-rays with a fancy 3-D machine (that cost us a lot out of pocket, I had to sign the okay before we went back to the room) so they knew exactly what treatment she would need. Her next appointment is on the 31st and that one's not going to be as fun. But this stuff truly doesn't bother her. She's perfectly fine going to the dentist. What really scares her is when they raise or lower the chair without telling her!

 The older she gets, the more she loves Starbucks!
