I get high with a little help from my dentist. Novocaine, you know. Actually, I have heard that novocaine no longer is a narcotic that gets you high, but I'm going to ignore that news and just enjoy relaxing after the dental work I had today. It will probably be another hour before I can eat, before the shot wears off enough that I can be sure I won't bite my cheek or tongue. Again.

My dentist hums while she works. Since she has a good voice, it's quite pleasant. And her assistant gives a shoulder rub while the dentist gives the anesthetic. All in all, a nice experience and now I have a shiny new filling where I had a dental cary before. And, on the other side, a crown set with temporary adhesive (next month to be re-glued permanently).

It's raining outside; the cat just came in and jumped in my lap. She isn't wet, but she is definitely damp. No wonder she wants to cuddle.

Love the rain. Great reading/napping weather.
