Another Drive By! I’m like a bad movie!

Hours at the dentist getting tooth fixed…no numbing.
Huzzy’s father had a vagal episode. It was the 2nd in so many months. He’s not taking all the medications he needs to.
Lunch visitors tomorrow (clients of Huzzy’s) and I’ll be out all morning, so I’m trying to get the house to look less like a nuclear blast zone.
I’ll be back tomorrow. In the middle of trying to take care of everything, I wanted to keep this blogging promise to myself.

Very short entry, but I’m counting it.

And smiling! Because I no longer look like a picket fence when I do.
