my tooth

i may have told you that i'm in the process of having a root canal.  about two months ago i was at pondok bali enjoying some indonesian food when a bit of the tooth broke.  went back to dentist, all ok.  not to worry.  well! last night i was starving and was snacking on salsa and rice crackers when i bit on something hard.  omg.  the biggest piece of tooth broke off.  now i have a most uncomfortable crater in my mouth which of course feels massive.  i wonder if the dentist will go ahead and work on it or offer to take it out.  last time he gave me no choice and just went ahead and started the root canal which i thought was very rude.  also, i forget when my next appointment is.  on a more positive note, i found two lost library dvds under the couch last night.  :) 

the weirdest thing happened again this morning

i was sound asleep when the tv came on.  that's not the weird bit as it's set to come on each working day. it's my alarm clock.  yes i know.  it's just that alarm clocks annoy me but then so does koshie so maybe i should go back to the alarm clock.  i digress, it's set for 7:30 am.  today it came on at 6:30 am.  i looked at the clock this time before getting up and into the shower.  it did it last week too.  i can't remember exactly but i think it was last monday.  i neglected to look at the clock and got up and showered before coming down for breakfast.  it was only when i turned the laptop on that i saw the time.  6:30 am.  wtf.  anyway, it did it again today.  i checked the settings and it looks fine.  i don't understand.  and .... it came on again at the right time as well.  weird

garage sales

one of my fave pastimes is to fossick around at a garage sale or three.  i'm trying not to spend much money but it's not really a happening thang.  i found an aquarium for my tetra, dustin nguyen, today.  $2.00.  bargain.  i haven't tested it yet to see if it's leak proof but the lady told me it's fine.  she wouldn't lie to me would she?  no.  i also got a spare bicycle for the grand kids for when they come over.  we can ride down the river and nana can get some exercise.  that's the plan anyhoo.  $5.00.  it needs a bit of work on the brakes.  sil said he'd look at it for me.  i also got a really cute photo frame for $1.00.  i must take a photo coz it's really nice.  ants got a few bargains too.  he's happy, nana's happy.  it's a win/win  hahahaha.  well kids have gone home, i've eaten, had my coffee and my shower. i'm ready to watch a sunday night movie.  let's hope the week ahead is kind to us all.  ps. i love the window sticker in the pic above.  crazy cat lady.  have you seen them around?  they're the latest thing apparently.  family car stickers.  usually mum, dad and two or three kids.  i prefer this one.  :)

ahhh the weekend .... at last

i had a very trying week work wise at least.  yuk,  i so want to win lotto and retire.  maybe this week. :)  but seriously, i'm just looking forward to seeing the g/kids today and spending some time with them.  my little stress relievers that they are.  fantastic weather during the week has turned a bit pear shaped here so not much sun.  i'm rethinking that load of washing.  it's 9:30 am and it's still dark and although not cold it's not looking too flash.  oh well.  i'm off to prepare lunch.  enjoy your saturday  oh ps. only three weeks to go and i'm on leave and on my way to bali.  ahhhh  bliss.  it's all that keeps me going atm.  :)
