Adding the Dentist to my Day:(

I haven't been doing a very good job lately at my time management.  I have not been getting to everything I want to do each day.  Writing this blog has added another item on my list.  I need to figure out how to get it written before my bedtime!  Because I stay up late, I have been having trouble getting up early and running.  It is such a vicious circle!  Well yesterday, I actually got my blog written in the afternoon, so this morning I got out and ran.  While it was difficult (it has been 2 weeks since I last ran), it felt good to get out there and do some heavy breathing!  I'm hoping I will be able to continue with more morning workouts.  Working out in the morning gives me an attitude adjustment.  It definitely helps me be a nicer person!  At least during the day, I'm feeling pretty crabby now since I am feeling all my old lady aches and pains from the run.  I need to figure out how the avoid the hip pain.
Anyway, in dealing with all the extra items on my list, I of course had an emergency today that threw my plans out the window.  While brushing my teeth this morning, my crown felt strange.  So I wiggled it and it just came off!  A bit of background information is that I got this crown about 4 years ago because the molar cracked (probably all that ice my mom told me to quit chewing).  Since I have had it, I have not been able to chew on that side!  It isn't usually sensitive to hot or cold, just pressure... even something as small as a strawberry seed!  So, I am looking at this as a blessing in disguise (I really am trying to be a positive person).  I went to the dentist today and apparently everything is in good shape which is good news.  I was worried it would be a black hole in there with all the pain I have been having over the years.  Well after a discussion with my dentist we decided on a root canal.  UGH!  But, I am hopeful that I will eventually be pain free!  The procedure is on Thursday (I may have to skip that blog day).  I'm really glad I was able to get in so quickly, I don't want to have to think about it.  I have terrible anxiety about going to the dentist.  I'm sure it stems from my childhood when my old dentist rarely used any numbing medicine when he did work.  I was tense today and all they did was take x-rays and temporarily glue the crown back on. 

On a side note, tonight my daughter's volleyball team defeated South Torrance to win the Gahr tournament in 3 games.  The first game was very exciting, but after that it seemed that the other team lost their spirit.  And the best news of all is that tomorrow is my baby girl's 17th birthday!  Happy birthday Amy!  We love you very much!
