*snore*
I so didn't want to get up this morning. No real reason, just tired. Considering how much I usually pack into my day off, no shock.
Mom has a raging bladder infection, she actually went to the doctor for it, and is now on pain meds and antibiotics. She says she feels better, but I think that's only because she wanted to be able to go down the hospital to stay with my uncle while my aunt is having heart surgery. Apparently, she's got a little benign tumor blocking one of her heart valves, and it's throwing off clots, causing mini strokes. Mom doesn't think she's going to pull through it, but we'll see. It's the same doctor who did Mom's bypass. I think he's an asshole, but he's a good cocky asshole, so I think she'll do okay.
Went to the dentist, to see about my teeth. Looks like most of them will be okay with the tooth-like fillings, which is cool. I'm scheduled for the end of March to have all of them done at once. Then, I'll have the one wisdom tooth taken out at the beginning of April. Then, I'll get them cleaned up, polished and possibly bonded to remove the stains from the asshole who fucked up my braces so badly. Eventually, I'd like to get a retainer to get them back in some semblance of normal, but no rush on that. I'd just like to be able to smile without being ashamed of it to start with.
Have lost approximately 8 lbs. since January 15, which I'm fairly okay with. With the ice, I haven't been able to do much walking, but I'm getting back into that now. Also am on a new inhaler since Jan 1, which has made a world of difference. I can go up stairs without wheezing, which is nice.
Ate lunch at Bennigan's yesterday. It was very tasty, I think we'll have to drag![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tiadawn and tobiasnevermore up there. For them, it's practically just over the bridge, so it would be cool. Might have to try to pry moosesal out for an evening of Irish-style booze and food. Alternately, there's a Dairy Queen right next to it. Mmmm...
Am slowly breaking out of my writer's block rut, trying to work on stuff again. It's nice to feel creative again.
With Valentine's day around the corner, I'm debating what I should get my beloved for that special day. She's given me plenty of suggestions, which she'll probably get on Saturday at lunch, if she behaves herself. Otherwise, i'll make her wait til we go out for dinner on the 21st. (she has to work Sat. Night, so no fighting crazy restaurants for us!)
After weeks of saying "I can't think of anything I want," I finally came up with stuff last night. Thanks tosorchar's post about her Duran Duran DVDs, I found several things I want when we went to Best Buy to check on prices. It's funny, I hadn't thought about it, but I really do want a couple of Dar Williams' CDs. I love her music, and her lyrics make my musi poing.
Now, I shall do some work, maybe write a bit, and basically cruise through the day until I can get back to my puppy and my wife. (not in that order, mind you)

also, should we start a club for people who want to kill an early dental professional in their lives? i feel your pain on that one, hon. really i do. mine didn't fuck the look of my teeth up too much (unless you count the chunks of ceramic brackets i had on my teeth for years after the braces were off, which later dentists had to grind off), but a pediatric dentist i had held my arms down on the arms of the chair while pulling teeth/doing fillings, and it was years before i even ent back to a dentist, and i still have trouble getting through a routine exam without freaking out. so, i really do understand when i say, go you for going back now and finding someone you can trust. because, man, if people who haven't been through that don't get how paniful it is.
you and j. have a fabulous weekend. you deserve it.

Last time I had a bladder infection, my doctor told me to take Tums until the antibiotic kicked in. It cuts the acid in the urine so it doesn't burn as much when you gotta go. It definitely helped.

The vet had us feed Vitamin C tablets to our puppy when she had a bladder invection and a high pH in her urine (which made her whine when she peed). They said the Vitamin C was for pH balance.
