Most of the way there

I had all of the teeth pulled on Feb. 19th - at one sitting. No stitches were used but I had to gum some gauze pads for a couple of hours. I was given the rest of the week off from work, though I probably didn't need it...Extra strength generic Tylenol seemed to do the trick. I go back to the dentist in a week and a half when the doc will make impressions and then..a few days later, new teeth!

Not being able to chew anything is not a pleasant way to eat. I've come up with thousands of ways to scramble eggs.

The dentist is all paid off (in advance -howdathappin?) and I'm grateful for yet another dream come true. Sobriety has been the best gift of all as, without sobriety I'd have absolutely nothing. Today my life could not possibly be any richer nor fuller.

Love and Peace from Key West and from...Chris

Vacation, sort of.....

It seems that, though I got away a number of times last year, I still had 52 hours of unused vacation time accumulated! What a surprise that was. Even more surprising was the management decision to allow me to use that time in February (after the January deadline - use or lose). So..I find myself, for the entire month of February, reduced to a three day work week, while being paid for the rest as well.

I'll be spending the bulk of this time in the Dentist's office. The first appointment is today. This is something that I have put off for far too long and I actually find myself looking forward to this experience. Now there's a change in attitude.

Sheesh...The next thing you know, I'll be looking for a barber as well!! Nah...I probably won't go to that extreme quite yet. One day at a time, one drastic move at a time.

It'll be nice to be able to smile again.

Love and Peace from Key West.
