God bless the Starbuck’s guy….he was so sweet yesterday - gave me a free coffee because I had to wait a couple of minutes! I love people like that!!!

Well, it’s currently 8:45 a.m. - I haven’t had anything to eat yet, just got back from dropping DD off at school. Wow! I feel so light this morning - I guess that’s what not being able to eat all day yesterday does for me!

1:20 p.m. - So far, I’ve had:

part of my Odwalla smoothie from yesterday, a homemade smoothie (grapefruit juice, Stevia, cucumber, spinach) and about 1 cup cooked red and black beans.

Got my wisdom tooth out today. Opted to not use the I.V. sedation and it was really no big deal, but after all  the hoopla and indecision I was so nervous I just sat there stiff as a board through the whole thing, expecting it to get worse than it was. I couldn’t believe it was over so fast - probably didn’t take more than 15 minutes once he got started! However, I didn’t realize the real pain was yet to come (no, not the bill - ha!) It was when the anesthesia wore off…. whew! I took one of my pain pills then another about two hours later - ended up getting sick. I decided to just take one of my old stand-by Ibuprofen an hour ago and am feeling quite good now….. gotta go.
