uncle!

So the suck just keeps rolling into my life... I didn't think it was possible, but apparently the universe hasn't quite finished f@%king with me yet. I'm trying to figure out if all this adversity is a)setting me up to truly appreciate the good things when they finally start coming in or b)push me over the edge and force me to throw myself in front of a bus. I'm hoping for the former, but I aint holding my breath.

12 years ago I had porcelain veneers put on my top 6 teeth. It came out of my pocket and was probably the greatest money ever spent. There are very few people who remember my gappy, snaggly teeth, and I've been systematically destroying any photos of that time. Well... one of them came off on Saturday... not one of the center 2, but still...

On seeing one of my real teeth, I nearly had cardiac arrest.... like my hair color, I had convinced myself that "natural" was what I paid for. The silver lining is that the veneer is intact and I didn't swallow it or lose it. I have an appointment on Wednesday to have it glued back on, so I get to feel like Cletus the Slack Jawed
Yokel for 2 more days. Yes, I have dental insurance, but it certainly doesn't cover cosmetic stuff....

And the truly crappy part is that it probably came loose since I broke my arm... I never use my teeth to pry or tear or do anything, but since I am down a functioning hand, I had to resort to using them. Awesome.

Let's just say I'm playing the lottery this week... surely I'm due for some good news, right? If not, I've picked up a bus schedule...
