I hope you get relief from your backache by the time this post arrives, Laura.
I had a dental appointment today.
In the exact same town where the “hellhole ” is. Well, one of them.
I drove the exact route. Parked in the same car park. It was all like a dream. When I put the ticket on the car, I had an instant flashback to two days ago. I actually felt my legs turning to jelly. I convinced myself, that it was fear of the dentist but it was far more than that. I have gambled for years to avoid going to the dentist. Would any normal person believe that? I had to walk through an alleyway , past the door of the casino and just as I turned the corner, the owner of the “kip”was driving out in a very fancy car. Probably rubbing his hands together -“here she comes again”! But he was WRONG. I could FEEL him staring at me but I refused to meet his eye. As far as caino owners go, this guy is decent. I went to the dentist’s clinic, walked the same route back. Had a tentative arrangement to meet a friend.Sent a text to say “I can only wait 5 minutes”. Had the parking paid until 9am. I texted hubby. He said “I’m starving” . I had chicken chow mein made so I booted it home. 40 minute drive. We have just eaten and now I’m heading back to a different meeting point to walk with this friend.
Ironically, the cost of the dental work coincides with the 3 figure sum I managed to escape with on Tuesday night.
I didn’t have it with me today, for fear of being tempted.
I still can’t think about my 9k loss or I’ll flip the lid altogether!
I need to cop on to Life!
