Dental Drama But It Could Be Worse

 Yesterday I went to the dentist for my semi annual cleaning. I am friends with my hygienist, and she is
an absolute dear.  I think as we age, and are in the workforce (her not me currently) it is hard to start up new friendships when you are a little more mature. We are building our friendship and meet up outside the office at least once every 6 months.  We are going to do better with that in the future. 

My cleaning went okay, I don't have any cavities, but I was experiencing some discomfort on my left upper side.  I had a root canal two years ago and my dentist said I may have an abscess in this tooth.  The endodontist that did this tooth did an excellent job.  I thought what could really be going on, but they gave me a referral to my endodontist and I went there today.

Now, dentists give me ANXIETY. I did not sleep at all and I was on full alert this morning for the appointment, but I was trying to act like all was well.  I am sure they could see right through it. They did the  x-rays and the the 360 scan of my mouth.

My tooth is fine. The endodontist says I am grinding my teeth in my sleep.  Good gravy!  I relate it to the stress I have been experiencing with my husband and his health problems. Now, I have to go back to the dentist and get a guard of some sort.  This is my month to be an adult and do all the adult things. 

Beyond that, the day was uneventful.  I am helping a friend out by feeding her community cats while she is in Michigan. I go every evening and visit the crew. The colony has at the most about 8-9 cats.  All are fixed.  We did all the trapping last summer. 

Tomorrow I will finish paying bills and moving money around.  I am playing the credit card game with points and it is like a part time job keeping track of the purchases and the cards. It does pay off in the end.  So far this year, we have saved up enough points to get a set of tires for my husband's truck. 

Do you use your credit cards for rewards?
