Life is hard

So, early this morning I went to the dentist to get a tooth filled. It was the first dental work I had to get done in about three years, which is pretty good for me. I'm surprised my teeth don't set off metal detectors. So first thing today I went down there and submitted myself to the dentist.

Dentists' offices these days are filled with more weird gizmos than Frankenstein's laboratory. They've got all sorts of lights and stuff that have no apparent function, and wear funky Mad Scientist gear over their faces nowadays. I've never really understood the appeal of working inside someone's mouth. But then, I haven't been married for awhile. Overall it was not a bad experience, and I was out of there in 30 minutes.

The worst thing about it is I missed my morning coffee. Half of my head still feels like Play-Doh, so if I tried drinking anything now I'd end up pouring it all over my face. Probably not a good thing with steaming coffee. Of course, if I'd gotten some McDonald's coffee, I could have sued them (obscure not-so-current events reference). I wish I'd thought of that when I was over there.
