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!
