This is my 49th “12 of 12.” A Tuesday. A day off. And a day I wasn’t looking forward to. Well, I was, but I wasn’t.
Backstory: On New Years Eve eve, I had a chunk of molar (#3) break off while eating–of all things–oatmeal. No dentists anywhere could get me in that day to extract it as most were on holiday. I called down the list in the phone book. Two different dentists were able to get me in–one that evening, and one the next morning–but as I found out while with them, neither of them extract teeth any longer. WTF? What the hell kind of dentist doesn’t extract teeth? Both of them wanted to refer me to oral surgeons to have it extracted. Seriously? What kind of shenanigans is this? Here I was in pain, and they don’t pull teeth.
The pain was manageable for the most part (my liver probably isn’t happy with that quantity of ibuprofen), so I more or less suffered up until this point. I was able to get in yesterday to see this dentist, and said he would/could pull it, but he wanted to start me on antibiotics first. So after a day of that, today was the day for the extraction.
Which didn’t go so well, so today’s pictures aren’t that… inspiring.
All pictures were taken with my iPhone 6. 9:40 AM: The antibiotic and ibuprofen the dentist prescribed for me. And my checklist to make sure I took them.
10:47 AM: milli looking out of the front window into something either in the yard or down at the road.11:35 AM: The Husbear outside playing with Luna and her tire rope. She will play with that thing until she’s too tired to move. He’s actually wearing his gym workout clothes, but decided to put a robe on instead of his jacket for whatever reason.1:00 PM: One of several food shows I liked to watch when we had DirecTV. I recently discovered the Food Network channel on our Roku. I can play catch up now.1:03 PM: milli looking at whatever milli is looking at.1:50 PM: Waiting for the dentist. The Husbear had to drive me.2:06 PM: Instruments of torture, in sunlight.2:40 PM: It’s a gas. I paid extra for the gas. Because I DON’T like going to the dentist.3:14 PM: So much blood. It took about 20 minutes for the molar to be extracted. After a bunch of yanking and tugging, it just wouldn’t budge. So the dentist sliced it in thirds (I can still smell the burning bone) and yanked each piece. Of which some broke. And apparently some of my gum with it. If you think that bib is bloody, you should have seen all the instruments and gauze laying out.3:44 PM: Luna watching the Husbear head up to the barn to feed the animals. Before we put that bench there for her, from the outside she looked like Kilroy.4:11 PM: Luna kept sneaking closer and closer and closer to my mouth to smell. And lick. *gross*5:08 PM: The molar hole. Which is still bleeding. A lot. And the gums don’t look too happy either.Baker’s Dozen: 6:22 PM: milli and Luna sleeping on my legs. Which I can no longer feel at that point. milli is slowly letting Luna get closer to her.
I would have taken more pictures, but trust me, they’re just from me sitting on the couch…
My 48th “12 of 12.” A Saturday. Also known as my “Friday”.

8:49 AM: Every morning micro waits on the bathroom heater for me to open that window for her to look out.9:16 AM: It rubs the lotion on its skin… Well, the skin covered with tattoos.9:19 AM: The three stooges have take to sleeping on the patio furniture instead of in the barn. Not sure what’s up with that.10:35 AM: The quiet before the storm.11:22 AM: The Husbear giving me a haircut.3:37 PM: It’s sad mask day. For me. I might have something brewing, and don’t want to risk spreading it if I do.4:37 PM: A peony add-on.7:13 PM: And a Zoro add-on.7:25 PM: Some colors.8:33 PM: I’ve been thinking about this for a few hours, ever since a client and I were talking about it. So I had to stop at the store and grab some. Let’s just call it “comfort food.”9:31 PM: I’m being judged. Again. For either my poor food choices. Or because I won’t share.10:14 PM: Someone wanted some love.
And off to bed I go. Hopefully I can shake whatever it is that’s been creeping up on me the last few days.

8:55 AM: I’m awake. And the Husbear left his breakfast stuffs in the sink. Even though the dishwasher is immediately to the right of the sink…10:24 AM: This is what I got done on the barn deck Sunday. Well, the east side of the barn.10:33 AM: The termite inspector showed up to inspect the house. That, I’m going to get a pair of ruby slippers out of this.12:10 PM: The Husbear bringing me wood. 😉2:04 PM: The 2nd level deck supports are done. And so is my body for the day. And my fingers. I stabbed and smashed them a couple of times today.2:05 PM: And the three outside kittehs have gotten brave enough to come down from the chicken shed and mingle with me at the barn.3:10 PM: Name that episode.3:28 PM: milli says “Howdy!”6:04 PM: My buddy had to go jump on a conference call. So his food is getting cold, and his beer warm.7:53 PM: My buddy concentrating on either the baseball game, or the football game. I’m not sure which.10:26 PM: Luna wants something. Or is judging me.10:48 PM: That’s all for today, folks. I’m tired. And going to bed 3 hours earlier than normal. For me.
Until next time...

My 45th “12 of 12.” A Saturday. My Friday, and the Husbear’s too. And I’m behind. On many things. So many things. Blog posts being one of them.
I was unable to directly post anything since we left to go to New Orleans. Something went weird with my WordPress installation that I couldn’t access for some reason. But I got it fixed tonight. Thank goodness. Well, because, you know, I have all these posts just waiting to be posted!
So I’m kind of back-dating this post, and two others. Just because…

9:58 AM: I’m awake. Barely. I’m not feeling that great this morning. I even left myself a note.10:30 AM: “No Checks”. Do people still write checks?10:43 AM: A few supplies were needed before heading to the studio. Speaking of checks, the old lady in front of me at the register wrote one.12:02 PM: The artwork for one of today’s tattoos. A little floral inspiration.3:00 PM: The HVAC unit at the tattoo studio decided to go bonkers while we were traveling, and flooded the attic space, which then flooded the public-facing restroom. It’s finally drying up up there. And I’m not to sure what’s up with that electric connection now that I look at it… hmm.4:21 PM: Lining and some shading done. A few more sessions to go to complete this piece.7:06 PM: Monkey D. Luffy. I have not watched this particular cartoon series. But it’s on a good client who also is a Doctor Who fan, so I may have to give it a try.7:39 PM: Sunset at the studio.8:49 PM: I’m not to sure what the Husbear was watching (some show with witches), but milli was having none of it.9:01 PM: Luna apparently wasn’t too sure either.10:31 PM: This is her “I need to go potty” face.11:25 PM: And speaking of faces… Ugh.
