sidewaysI had my first filling today! Can't say I'm a huge fan of the experience, though it did leave me very grateful to be living in a time where they can and will numb every last nerve. I can't claim to have ever had a bad dental experience myself, but my mother remains terrified after a childhood full of painful fillings and being exposed to her anxiety all my life seeded some of it in me. The moment I felt the drill touch something sensitive, I tapped out. Give. Me. The. Needle.
Of course, now I'm stuck discreetly dabbing at my chin to make sure I'm not dribbling while I wait for the numbness to fade. Always a little amusing.
The weather's taken a turn for the heavily humid, complete with a cracker of a storm Monday night that lightly flooded the car park. Bad news for our new addition to the team at work, who's just travelled up from way down south and has never lived in the tropics before. At least I arrived in mid-winter and had an adjustment period! She seems the positive, practical sort, though, and I think she'll fit in well.
