Catching up, Vol II

Good afternoon, all! LOL – whoever reads this besides me =)
No biggie to me, like I said, I’ll be here whether you are or not! =)

Well, a little bit has happened since I wrote last…

We had to cancel our pre-Valentine’s date due to a car wreck (not ours, no one was hurt either). This guy (with his wife and two children in the car, no less) ran a stop sign, locked up trying to stop, made a HUGE turn into our lane (it w as 3 point intersection, so no lane ahead of him… he HAD to turn or hit forest) and spun us halfway around. Us meaning my brother, his pregnant wife, their two girls (10 and 2), plus Josh and me. The girls and I were asleep, so we didn’t see anything, but we woke up to screaming and another car coming straight at us when we were spun. However, it was a police car (he’d been behind us for 10-20 miles), so he was agile enough to miss us and pull over the stunned other car. So instead of spending our date night at dinner/movie, or whatever we were going to do, we spent it waiting on highway patrol on a gas station parking lot.

My root canal was on Valentine’s Day itself, so that day was out too. Instead our “date” was about a week after when we went to dinner and rented a video LOL.

And OUCH to the root canal, by the way! The actual procedure didn’t hurt at all, but afterward, my gums were throbbing beyond belief! My dentist had to manipulate my gums a lot in order to get to the entire root, so as soon as the anesthesia wore off, I was in pain. The dentist put me on Darvocet previously, so I took advantage of the prescription for this pain.

However, I am mostly all better now… pain free at least. Between the infection and the dang antibiotic, I am worn out every day and have headaches EVERY TIME I take the medicine. I have to finish the prescription, though, so I must endure. :P

We’re doing our taxes this week, but we’re not getting back as much as I thought, b/c Josh's company didn't take out enough federal from his paycheck... grr. At least we don't have to pay like some people do.
