Aug. 24th, 2015 10:42 pmLast week passed pretty quickly. On Wednesday, it was really hot but we went to the beach and it was just wonderful. The wind kept it cool and the water was actually warm enough that even I went swimming a few times. It just pure joy to be frolicking in the water and jumping with the waves (I don't actually swim that much in the ocean. Mostly I like jumping in the waves). I felt really happy and was enjoying the moment.
On Friday, I got a haircut with color and highlights. My hair can get very big and puffy sometimes and I don't have the patience to style it or make it that smooth, so it's nice when it's all styled after a hairdressers. I usually keep my hair up in a ponytail or a bun but my daughter lately pulls any scrunchy out of my hair since she likes it loose (easier to grab on to to soothe herself), so it's also pleasant to have it look nice when it's down. It's shoulder length now; I just took a few inches off.
Saturday, was the second opinion dentist visit. I really like this Russian female dentist. She explained everything well, showing me the x-ray and talking to me like a normal reasonable intelligent person. I definitely need to redo the crown, but since my root canal hasn't bothered me for 12 years and the root is too deep to be much affected by a redo, it is probably not worth it to spend so much money on. One day it will fail and will have to be pulled anyway. Whether I have to do a redo or just a crown will depend on the insurance company a bit (they might not let me just to do the crown but the dentist will write to them). I definitely feel more comfortable with this dentist. It also helps that her office has a very handsome male dental technician. Nice eye candy.
And I had a very nice weekend - Sunday, Monday - with Bear. I got some time to myself, I cooked and cleaned, I finished one book and watched a movie and did some playground family time. And I wrote a drabble , a little conversation between Luna and Professor McGonagall. It was for RS Games inter team activity and my prompt was seagull.
One more week at home (except work orientation on Thursday), and then back to work. I am looking forward to it.
