Minor filling

My dental health improved dramatically once I stopped drinking sugar. But the shape of my mouth was going to get me in the end. You see, I have to partially close my jaw for my toothbrush to actually reach the side of my upper back teeth.

Whatever they're called. 

It finally caught up to me, and I have a small cavity on one side. Or rather, I have a small filling on one side. I was a bit surprised though. I timed it, from the moment they jabbed my gums with a needle to numb me, to the moment they declared they were done, was exactly ten minutes. That was a remarkably short time, I was expecting to be in that chair for 6-7 business days.

All alone

So my wife made a friend back in college, and they're still good friends to this day. I suggested she plan a trip to see her friend, and she planned a trip for all of us to go to Connecticut to see her friends family for the weekend.

Not exactly what I had in mind, but a change of scenery is always nice.

Then a friend of mine, that I haven't seen in close to 18 years, lost his grandfather. He was going to fly into town this weekend for the funeral. At my wife's suggestion, I stayed behind so I could pick him up from the airport and host him for a day before he headed out.

His flight arrives at 12:30am Sunday morning. It's now just after 5pm on Friday, and I'm completely alone in the house. It's unnervingly quiet. I'm not used to this.
