Everyday Randomness

I feel so much better today.  I was finally able to talk one on one with the dentist yesterday after waiting 2 hours for him to call me back.  No big deal, he’s busy, and all that.  I’m just glad to finally have some meds in my system.

He gave me a prescription for an antibiotic to hold me over until my appointment on Wednesday.  I told him of course I was having a fair amount of pain with it as well, but I was taking Aleve.  He told me to continue the Aleve since, of course, it’s also an anti-inflammatory.  It does sound like an absessed tooth, which is what I was afraid of, and the fact that there’s also a cavity there means I can hear the bill adding up by the minute.

Oh well, all I can do is wait it out.  Wednesday can’t get here soon enough!

On another note, we finally got some rain last night, but not much.  It amazes me how little our corner of the county is getting.  Two nights in a row we got stuck in monsoon like rains in town, yet it was dry as a bone when we got home.  Unfortunately we live on the farming side of the county, and not having any rain is killing everything.

Tuesday night when we left my friend’s house it was raining so hard Hubby had to pull over at the only open gas station in town.  We couldn’t even tell that we had headlights, and there was so much water on the roads it was shooting up over the hood of the Blazer.  I tried to take a photo when we stopped because there was a good 2″ of water standing on the roads, and the wind was blowing it in sheets.  The pics didn’t turn out though. 5 miles outside of town everything was dry as a bone.

What we finally did get last night was just enough to wet the pavement.  Rains like that aren’t going to help much.  I was so happy that the weather report was saying 60% chance of rain today with scattered storms all day, but so far everything has gone right around us as usual. As soon as the rain/thunderstorms hit the mountains it’s like they split.  Half goes north and half goes south.  Normally I’m not complaining, but we really need that rain.
