Well, it started out as a typical Tuesday but didn't end up that way.
Yesterday evening I started having a toothache, which I thought was
because a temporary crown I had might have worked loose a bit, not
fully protecting the nerve. It got much worse this afternoon at work,
so the dentist wanted me to come in. It turned out it was starting to
abscess, so I ended up being at the dentist's until 6:00 p.m. having a
root canal. Then I had to go wait for prescriptions -- antibiotic,
pain killer (oxycodone), and valium. I'm not sure I will need the
latter two, but may take one each tonight if I think I'll have trouble
sleeping -- we shall see. Anyway, with all this I didn't get to the
gym after work. I may go tomorrow but will see if I feel like it. I
plan to work at home -- wasn't sure if I'd feel like driving.
Food:
* 9:00 (home): 30g l/f muesli, 30g All Bran, 22g whey protein, 1 cup

Yikes! I hope that you are feeling better by the time that you read
this. Working at home (and not driving!) sounds like a good plan.
BTW, if you are going to be near me this weekend, give me a call. Our
only plans are getting poinsettias from a special place that we go to
each year.

Can you email me your phone number? I probably have it but am not
sure where offhand. I'll probably wait until I'm down in NC and see
what my mom has planned. I'm not feeling very prepared for this trip
yet, given the unexpected tooth stuff. Need to see about doing some
laundry, at least.
Working at home today is something of an inconvenience, it turns out,
since I wanted to test something that I can't access from here. But I
have something else I can work on instead. Tomorrow I will have to
forego the drugs so I can stay alert for the 350 mile drive. I can
see that the gym is going to be out today. Valium seems to have
something of a delayed reaction for me -- didn't make me that sleepy
soon after taking it, but I'm pretty groggy this morning.

I'll do that. It's no big deal either way. I figure that you'll be
back through here again sometime soon! Take care and drive safely!

DH and I will be coming down during Christmas week. Of course, that
may be a busy time for you.
