My Rambling Thoughts

Got thru the dentist in less than 2 hours for a temp. crown, a filling, and mold for mouthguard. Thanks to Laser Dentistry, no numbing for the filling. Now if they could just do that for crowns.

Guess everyone has to continue to wait for 45 on closing the border. So tired of this way of running the government.

It’s a nice spring day and I should take a walk, but with my numb mouth, I don’t think that’s a good idea.
