I have a back molar that already had a root canal and crown if I recall correctly. Teeth are confusing to me, it’s hard for me to count them with my tongue and tell which is which let alone have to try and remember which tooth got what done and what not – but this I know for sure, the crown and part of the tooth broke off leaving a jagged edge as sharp as glass. To make it even worse, the molar stands alone, without any other teeth-buddies for support (awww, poor molar is just like me :( )and because of this has ‘shifted’ it’s position. It is positioned now like a poised dagger, and this jagged dagger is constantly stabbing my tongue when I eat or talk. My job requires I spend a LOT of time talking on the telephone, and after a long day of talking on the phone the back of my tongue feels like it’s been through a cuisine-art. Not a ‘tooth-ache’ exactly, but painful none the less and getting worse with time. Lately it’s been almost unbearable.

When this began I called the Dental Clinic and they advised me that of all my teeth this one is the most expensive to repair. It being a stand alone molar such as it is I’m not so sure it’s that important, but I think the theory was that it would be a foundation so to speak for a bridge at some point.

I am so sick of dental woes – but this is now a high priority, the pain, iritation and contant distraction from this tooth is just driving me crazy lately. In plain and simple English: it hurts! Wahhhhh…....

So let’s see if I can get this one out of the way. I pray that God helps me; I’ve proved to myself that I can accomplish goals quickly when I want to – I can’t let this overwhelm me.

Here’s to getting some relief – thanks to the support I get here I’ve been able to accomplish things that I’ve not been able to accomplish in years, so you can imagine what a mess things are; this, much like my car goal, has been a thorn in my side for some time – obviously sitting in a new car is a little easier than sitting in a Dentist’s chair but none the less I’ve got to do it – the reward will be no more constant pain I mean dang if that don’t motivate me I’ve got bigger issues.

I can finally make a trip out to Holy Archangels now that I have a car. I do have some more important goals to accomplish, and at the moment my tooth is bothering me I’m a little worried about that but – unless it’s really bad I don’t think I’m going to let it stop me from going out there this weekend because it’s Pascha/Easter and it is bound to be beautiful.

I am just as shallow as the people I secretly criticize when I’m in one of my judgemental moods hehe….. I say this because I just bought a new (used) car and I am ECSTATIC!!!! This is the newest car I have ever owned. Well I don’t own it yet I’m making payments but you know what I mean… this is the first car I didn’t buy outright, I am making payments and the interest rate is fairly high: but the payments are affordable and will help to build my lousy credit.

But all that aside… who cares about the financial mumbo jumbo that’s boring… the fun part is …
I’m IN LOVE with this car!!!!(God forgive me)
I almost picked a few different ones but ended up getting this cuz it was so FUN TO DRIVE – it’s A BLAST – didn’t think it would be – it’s a Saturn ION ..hey I’m not a ‘car guy’ last time I had a car that I was stoked about was well – my first car …which was a 1956 Chevy Bel Aire – a car I could even work on, it was HUGE on the inside and one was never cramped working on it; you always had loads of room. I learned alot about cars when I had that car, and working on it was always fun. Now adays cars are just too complex – but anyway… that is the last time I remember being excited about a car – and I don’t know that I’ve EVER been THIS excited… I can NOT WAIT to take this baby for a little spin. I’m going to go out to the Monastery this weekend – PERFECT timing too because it’s my Easter – this is Holy Week for me and they’ll have services all week out at the monastery – I can go out and start talking to them about how I want to be a monk!!! Oh YAY oh YAY oh yay yay yay….

Also proud of myself for making a goal, then making it a priority (so that I can accomplish my other goals) and sticking with it and accomplishing it, all within a matter of a few days. OK admittedly it’s a little easier when it’s a ‘fun’ goal – but still for me this is monumental; the old me would still be complaining about why I can’t do it; why it would never work; I have been big on giving up before I even try lately and considering that I kept trying even after being turned down once might sound like no big deal but I know myself well enough to know that this was a step in the right direction. Just hope I am able to keep up with these payments – screwing these up and my credit will be forever screwed; they’ll reposses the car too; but that’s not going to happen hell if money issues befall me I’ll live in this car before I’ll screw up my credit and let them repossess it.

Well this was a lot of fun, and I’m just as happy as I can be with my purchase if anyone reading this is looking for a car, especially if you are like me and have not the greatest credit or if you’ve been turned down somewhere else – let me recommend CarMax – my car dealer was an awesome girl, super nice, she shared my excitement or at least seemed to which also made it fun. My car is totally covered too, they have a great warranty on their cars. Personally I think CarMax rules OK?
