Another month, another more fun....
Aug. 1st, 2021 06:46 pmI said something to the dog before uttering my incantation at 1 a.m., so it's bound to be a fun month:
Rabid Rabid Rabid!
And why was Ray up at 1 a.m.? Well, remember that toof that came out a few weeks back, that some people expressed concern about the toof below it being likely to fail? Well, I asked my dentist and the UB Dental people about it and they confirmed you were WRONG!
It's the toof next to the former one. I began getting pain in the extraction area not long after, but it stopped. Until it didn't. It was intermittent most of last week, but of course began its own version of the Friday Afternoon News Dump just when I had no chance of getting it fixed until tomorrow.
From that 1 a.m. visit to the loo, and every 8-10 hours since, ibuprofen has kept it manageable. I really don't know if it's the former tooth's resting place, the one next to it, or just an evil spirit bopping around in there. Fortunately, I'm due to be in Rochester all day tomorrow, so I will be calling first thing to see if it can be looked at. If I'm lucky, it's a cavity in a suddenly exposed area. We won't discuss the other options just yet.

To keep my mind off such things, I decided to tangle with nature.
There's a crop of wisteria along our eastern lot line that has made its business to take over the yard. With all the inside work this summer, I've slacked off on managing it, but when I mowed back there yesterday, I could barely get into the side yard. So today it was a combination of hedge trimmer, handheld clipper, ladder and holy water to beat back the crop.
I got much of it under control. Audrey was trying to control the horizontal and vertical by wrapping her tendrils around the cable, from the tops of the trees right into the entry point cable box on our outer wall. Killed that sucka off. Also got most, but not all, of her attempts to tap into the power of the solar panels. Damn ladder's not tall enough to stop her completely.
Oh well. If Ron can't see me tomorrow, maybe I can visit her dentist:
