The Slings and Arrows

We had a great weekend at our house. It was full of drama, emotions, thrills and spills. Well, not so many thrills and spills as drama and emotions. Some great friends of ours visited from Michigan on Saturday. They are people we met at our first attempt to find a church when we moved to Michigan in 1997. We attended a medium sized Methodist church that had a couples get together once per month on Sunday nights and met them there. My wife was anxious to meet people to have someone to pal around with and she found out that we bought the house right next to where our friend's wife grew up. A common framework always speeds things along. Anyway, we used to go out about every two months for dinner and a movie and we got to know them well. First we moved back to the Toledo area and then they moved up by Grand Rapids so it has become harder to get together but we try at least twice per year.

I slept like crap this weekend and after taking a half hour nap yesterday, woke up with a phenominal toothache. I have had this issue before when I used whitening toothpaste and tylenol usually takes care of it. I stop using the toothpaste and it goes away. The tylenol is not working well but I have switched to a toothpaste that is just plain to see if that is the real culprit. In the mean time, nothing too cold or hot, nothing too hard or crunchy. It is oatmeal, eggs, yogurt and bananas for meals today. If it does not clear up by tomorrow, I will call the dentist. I hope it is not a cracked tooth. If that is the case, the nap was not worth the time it took.

Sorry for the rambling entry but it is hard to think with the throbbing pain in my jaw and dull ache in my lower back. Ain't getting old a bitch.
