Mon 11/21/2005 3:26p | I was just reading the thanksgiving day rain forecast thread and found out that it's suppose to rain when I'm there in December. I don't want it to rain. Someone tell the weather person that he/she is wrong and it won't rain. |

I don't want to be too optimistic, but there are still 10 whole days until my arrival, plenty of time to get a new forecast. |

I think it's just the prep *before* everyone shows up that stresses me out. LOL |

Mon 11/21/2005 6:09p | You are so right, Mele. That's what I'm doing now. Leaving in the morning and I have to pack EVERYTHING for 6 days for Mr. Trailsend and me. I can't think anymore. |

Mon 11/21/2005 7:51p | Alright, here's a little clue as to how crappy I felt today. I just realized that I have been wearing my pants INSIDE OUT all day. |

Tue 11/22/2005 1:44p | Okay, so I woke up this morning with my pistachio-abraded gum hurting hugely. Way, way worse than yesterday. So bad that I was actually starting to feel kind of panicky about it. (Bear in mind that this is the woman who's had two babies, a dime-sized kidney stone, and a smashed tailbone. Three of which were within a month of each other. Let's just say my pain tolerance is high).
So I hightailed it to the dentist. Admonished everyone from the receptionist to the dental assistant to the dentist himself not to even think about touching my gum without anesthetizing it first. Did I mention that it was really, really hurting? Even after three ibuprofen?
So Dentist Guy verrrrrrrrrry cautiously started looking around in my mouth. Irrigated the inflamed area with some nasty antiseptic type rinse. Very, verrrrrrrry carefully flossed. (God bless Dentist Guy. He really was very gentle, and I think I only left perhaps 1/4 inch deep hand imprints on the arms of the dental chair). Took an x-ray.
So what is the cause of this heinous pain? An abscess? The need for a root canal? Perhaps a shard of razor sharp glass which someone managed to imbed in there while I was sleeping? Nope. Nothing there. The dentist's theory is that the offending pistachio piece got flushed out yesterday (which would explain why the pain kept decreasing all day yesterday) and that the huge upsurge in pain this morning is from. . . me biting the swollen gum in my sleep.

How stupid do I feel? And despite taking the three ibuprofen he recommends I take every four hours, it still hurts. A lot.
Whine over.

Tue 11/22/2005 2:40p | Aw. That sounds so...ouch. Are you having to do a lot of work for Thursday?
Hey, didn't you know that you aren't supposed to break your mouth right before an "eating holiday"? ;-) |

Tue 11/22/2005 2:49p | Yeah, no kidding. Of all the bad timing!
I'm preparing pretty much everything for Thanksgiving dinner. My ex-sister-in-law will bring a sweet potato casserole, and my mom is making a broccoli salad. I do everything else (by choice). I'm one of those freaks who loves cooking the big holiday meal.
Although for some unknown reason, Mr. Glitter, who does not cook at all (he can, mind you, but being in a restaurant all day every day kind of zaps his enthusiasm for it) decided several years ago that HE was going to cook the Thanksgiving turkey. I never have figured it out. It is pretty much the only thing he cooks all year. Still, it makes him happy, so I reluctantly yielded control of the turkey to him. And he does manage to turn out a magically juicy and delicious bird each year. |
