Two Weeks Today, Teeth and Other Happenings

Well today marks two weeks since our doggie went missing :(  After a few initial sightings, and one false alarm from the RSPCA she has not been seen again.  I sincerely hope that some kind family have taken her in and love her as much as we do...

Isn't she beautiful?

On Saturday evening after dinner, a piece of one of my molars broke off, causing pain and a sleepless night.  My usual dentist was unable to fit me in today so I went to see another this morning.  I had two options:  extraction or root canal therapy plus crown ($2,500).  Extraction is was.  Now four injections and some extreme muscle work from the dentist (it didn't want to come out) I am now minus a tooth.  No smoking, hot liquids or alcohol for 24 hours.  That means no cup of tea for 24 hours.  No cup of coffee.  I'm thinking it will be quite sore by the time the numbness wears off....

Adam has also managed to give Ash his cold, so she is home today too, feeling sorry for herself with her sore throat and sniffles.  A quick trip to the doctor has revealed no infection, just a cold so she will be right as rain in a day or two.  I don't think Adam was too fussed about going to school today with everyone else home!  I was going to go to work after the dentist, but decided against it after the number of injections and the difficulty in getting the tooth out.  I will probably be feeling it in an hour or so, plus it has given me a headache :(
