I had a dentist appointment today. Anybody who has read this blog knows how much I like the dentist. Yes, in the big scheme of things and what some people have to deal with it doesn't seem like a lot, but to me it's a huge ball of anxiety that keeps me awake at night for days before an appointment and can make me really stressed. I had to have a crown today. It went...well, it went okay. As I laid there in the chair with my laughing gas (really, it's not that funny) I thought of Mum who always used to cheer me on for these appointments which she understood and never told me I was being silly. I imagined her there sitting beside me. It comforted me at the time, but afterwards it made me a little sad. I also brought forward memories of Granddaughter and her smile and the joy she brings me.
Sometimes it's the little things that get you through those times you find hard.
I didn't do much for the remainder of the day. The appointment was at 11.20 and by the time I was home it was almost 2pm.
I did go for a joyful walk in the morning. It was wonderful watching the beavers out and about, the geese honking and making lots of noise as they flew overhead.
This evening I had a Asylum Lake meeting.
Hopefully, tomorrow will be a more productive (decluttering) day but I have a hair appointment in the middle of the day - rescheduled from today when I scheduled the dentist and the hair appointment on the same day at the same time!
From this morning.
Back tomorrow!
That's a relief that the dental appointment is done. Beautiful light on the lake in your first photograph.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's done for another month. I have another one in December. Some mornings the light on the lake is really beautiful
DeleteI'm sorry you had a dentist appointment (I avoid them like the plague, myself), but, I'm glad that thoughts of your mum helped and thoughts of Baby A helped to cheer you up. Lovely photos of the lake, as always.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely hate them, but I suffer through them. It was nice to think happy memories of Mum even under the circumstances.
DeleteI guess 'little' things are often not that little really. I'm glad the dental appt is over now. xx
