For the first time ever, I almost started crying in the dentist's chair. I was in for my routine 6 month cleaning. I mentioned that the crown that I had gotten in December on the tooth that I got root canaled last September was extremely sensitive to hot and cold sometimes. The doctor said that I shouldn't feel anything in that tooth and she immediately ordered an xray.
Good news- the tooth that I had the root canal in is minorly infected. The tooth behind that tooth is really infected. And I need to have the wisdom tooth that is behind that tooth removed. Can we say eleventy-million-dollars. Nice, huh? I heart the dentist. No, I double-heart the dentist.
So, I get to go and see a specialist to see what the "plan of action" is. Lovely.
I really wanted to hit 10% at Weight Watchers. I did not. I am 1 pound away from 10%. I did, however, lose 16 pounds. So now everyone knows how much I weigh. Oh, well. Whatever. Does it really matter if everyone knows how much I weigh? They can simply look at me and tell that I am not at a healthy weight. Not a secret. I am 16 pounds away from my WW goal weight.
Ok, I am going to the mall to return some pants that I ordered on-line and they are TOO BIG. Unbelievable. Nothing is ever too big for me. Until now...

I'm very sad....
I just got a very sad e-mail from Zenny, who was my best friend in the entire world for all of junior high and high school and for quite a few years after that. Her mom, who was one of my favoritest people in the world, passed away. I really, really loved Ann, she was a most excellent person. I got to do so many great things that I would not have been able to do without her. Going on the field trip to see the murals in Minneapolis, picketing when the post office was on strike (I still remember "Working for Runyan gives us bunions" or whatever it was that we chanted as we marched), going to Tybee Island in GA.... There are so many fun memories. I'm glad I have those.
The memorial service is on my birthday. There should be a rule against funerals on your birthday. You should never, ever have to feel sad on that day. With this happening on top of knowing that we are going to start looking at assisted living facilities for my mom, I am very sad and could really use a pedicure. ZarahZou, when is the next Saturday you are free? Not that a pedicure will cure what ails me, but it would be an hour where I could escape from reality. I could use a break from real life.

I'm back from my vacation. It was so hard to come back. I had so much. We did so many fun things- Epcot, Universal, Islands of Adventure, Cocoa Beach, and an outlet mall. I went to an outlet mall and didn't even buy myself anything. Unless you count a smoothie at TCBY as buying myself something. I did buy misszalyssa her very own Coach handbag. It's a swing pack, and was on super-sale for an excellent price. I was quite tempted to buy myself one. But I just can't justify $71 for a bag that is too small to carry.
The plane ride down there was very TURBLUENT. I was certain that the end wasnear. It felt like someone picked up the plane and was shaking it side to side and up and down. I was quite terrified. But we made it through.Florida was HOT! and HUMID! I sweated (which apparently isn't a word???) a lot. One day I wore misszalyssa's Hollister shorts and tank top. I never thought I'd be able to squeeze myself into Hollister, but I did, and I think it looked ok. Not great, but ok.
Too bad I had to come home. I like vacation. At least I only have a 3 day work week thanks to the 4th of July. I like 3 day work weeks. I got started back on counting points yesterday, and I even walked on the treadmill. Very hard to do after 8 days of undisciplined eating and no structured exercise. I can't wait to see how much I gained when I weigh in tomorrow night. I will be okay with a gain of 3 pounds. But no more than that.
I find it quite ironic that the same person that was making fun of the people who ran down to the cafeteria for "FREE DONUTS" is eating Jimmy John's for lunch. I don't want to spoil the fun for anyone, so I invite you to go to Jimmy John's website yourself and check out the nutritional information of any of the sandwiches. Any of them. They are all equally as bad. Many of them are equal to or exceed my full days allotment of WeightWatchers points. You'd think that a vegetarian sandwich would be a healthy choice. Not true, unless a healthy choice has 640 calories and 36 grams offat. So I could have 3 "unhealthy" donuts or a "healthy" vegetarian sandwich. Hmmm......
