filling

went to the dentist for a filling today. the left side of my head is numb: my temple, scalp, ear, lip, tongue, cheek etc. still, i could feel the drilling through it all. my tooth was not numb. my appointment was 5 hours ago and still no feeling.

off to yoga....

a day in the life

today was a classic "heidi day". most noteworthy, i left my car/truck (what do I drive??) lights on, i know what you're thinking.....but my key is now fixed. leaving the lights on was pure carelessness as opposed to laziness. a kind friend called me to tell my lights were on in the school parking lot. i left the building, turned them off and then realized i had locked myself out of the school, since it was late and all the good adventist teachers had left early on a friday afternoon i was stuck. one of my students was upstairs in my office writing a test. in order to get his attention i would've had to throw things at my window on the second floor. not a real option since i can't throw. i was rescued by the last teacher exiting the building and yes he gave me "that look", you know...evil kindness

more "heidiness".... i went to the endodontist....the tooth fairy gods have smiled on me and i need a root canal....i've lost many months of life to the dentist chair and now i will add to that tab. i knew my life was going too well.

well its friday night, and i'm glad this week is done. this week i've: incorrectly explained how intermolecular bonds affect solubility, re-explained it ( much harder to do... i guess they were paying attention the first time, too bad ) , incorrectly added up test scores ( and yes i teach math) and, attempted to be way to flexible in yoga.

off to bed, maybe for 48 hours... monday morning has to be better.

anonymous

Anonymity is what I love. I want control over who knows what I'm doing. Here's the problem... I love my vehicle but, in small town alberta it blows my cover. I can't stay hidden. People are always waving to me as I drive along. Last fall in Saskatchwan it was the same but, there were no expectations of me. I just was me!

I like being me ( by myself or with those I chose ).
