So I finally caved and made another dentist appointment for today. I hate missing any work and while it's at lunch time, it likely will take longer than an hour. And as many of you know, my boss was worried about my reliability in the past when I missed work for health issues, so of course it worries me.

And guess what? The tooth feels better today. It's still sensitive in the one spot, but like I can touch it with my tongue now and even my finger and it doesn't hurt like it did before. The spot that hurts is where my two front teeth meet, it even feels like its swollen if teeth could be swollen. It feels weird. But instead of shooting pain and throbbing, it's more like a tingle.

It makes me wonder if perhaps it is just my teeth needing to heal like the dentist last week told me?

To go to the other dentist appointment or not, that is the question. I've already gotten permission to go. But it's not like I have all that extra money to spend on another dentist appointment, not after my vacation where I spent too much.

It's tempting to cancel and mainly because I'll be pissed if I pay another fee to be told "just give it time to heal". I don't have loads of money to blow like that.

It's tempting to cancel and I better make my decision soon I guess.

In other news, I'm allergic to Chapstick. I discovered that my old kind that I loved so much that my mom stocked me up with a years supply started making my lips burn and tingle all the time. So I switched to Burt's Bees because its naturalish. Now that's giving me the same reaction. I bought plain old Vaseline brand with only petroleum jelly in it and started using that as of last night (the doctor told me to switch years ago when Carmex made my lips numb) and already, that burning feeling is gone. Such relief.

My weight loss progress is still good. Down another pound. I'm 3 pounds away from my pre-vacation low weight (meaning I had already lost weight from what I've been).

I didn't even get to work out last night. I met Veronica, Delilah's owner, and we talked until 9 pm outside. We were joined by a European woman I used to talk to, but I can't remember her name. Just that her accent is so cool (I believe she's from Poland).

But hey, I'm still going in the right direction.

This week went by so fast, which is good. I'm happy it's Friday and that ill get to see java_fiend tomorrow! Yay! I've been going non-stop after work these days, just errands and stuff that come up. It's been hard to keep up the workouts, but I didn't pretty decent. I tried working out every day at least for a few minutes. That's all that matters, right?
