Emergency dental surgery day.

Eldest daughter has cracked a molar and needs an extraction on the affected baby tooth. Not much going to happen today as I need to be there at the dentist’s office instead of working around the house today. Good thing I got so much done here yesterday in the pouring rain. Now all I have left is the grass, and Christmas lights. Possibly one tree limb removal – but that has yet to be determined. May me please get another nice day for outdoor work in the near future!?!

Turns out, not so bad after all. Dentist removed fragment of cracked baby tooth (molar) after taking X-rays and having a look for herself. Found three other wiggly teeth that should come out sooner rather than later. Just in time for Christmas I’ll wager. No pain today luckily. Going back Thursday morning for her teeth cleaning, and an update to her files/notes etc…

Because we were done so quickly my daughter got back to school in time to enjoy recess, and more importantly she will be available, and not swollen or numbed up for Picture Day today. That’s a win in our book.

Moreover I was able to cut the grass today, and headed back to the farm with the doggo to gather up ten 16 litre pails of rocks that I had set off to the sides of the big field, and dumped those in the culvert out of everyone’s way. Took some doing as I filled all ten pails to the brim. Likely 95 lbs or there abouts in every pail. Now residing comfortably in the culvert away from the farm equipment, lawn mower blades, and mobility vehicles. Got more done today than I thought I was going to do. That’s great news! Did not get the Christmas lights up, so I still need to find the time for that in the next couple of weeks. Which means cleaning the gutters as I go, and maybe cutting one last limb out of the dying Maple on our front lawn. I can find things to occupy myself outside if I need to (should we have nice enough days where I’d want to be outside tinkering with no paid work to attend to that is.)

Time change still has me feeling a bit off lately. The dog is not a fan of the time difference and is trying to get me up before I want to be up. It’s a bit of a thing really. The sun goes down real fast now, so I don’t think 8 have enough sunlight to work on lights once I bring the kids home after school. I could try I suppose. Nah! I’ll leave it for another mild day.
