This has not been a great week dental-wise for me. Monday I went in and had 3 fillings done. Today, I had my first root canal. Oi. Welcome to your 30's, where all the damage you did to your teeth in your 20's shows up all at once.

The root canal was no where near as bad as I had it pictured in my head. All unfamiliar dental procedures have the same internal mental scene. It's the "Is it safe?" scene from Marathon Man. Today was nothing like that. Plenty of novocain, 2 shots worth, one directly into the tooth. While the "sleepy water" has worn off and I'm a little sore, it's not too bad right now and it gave me the opportunity to take the afternoon off to sit home and wait for the cable guy.

Yes, after 4 months with no cable, we are finally getting cable installed. Not just that, but last night I hooked up the wireless DSL on my brand new phone line. It's been a long 4 months with no cable, no phone and no internet access at home. And to have it all back in one week is exhilarating.

And yes, I said we. I have a new roommate, one that will hopefully contribute to the mortgage. And who looks super cute when he's working on the house. :)
