Falling Fillings

So I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. Now I am wishing that I hadn’t. First off, the showers were cold. Not almost warm, but ICE COLD! So I just got my hair wet to put up and got a baby wipe bath. So then I go to the chow hall and all the bananas are green, as usual, no gripes there. But a nice yellow banana makes a better day, especially after a workout the previous night. So I get in to work and everyone is getting ready to go on the mission this morning, which is why I couldn’t sleep in at all this morning. For the past week or two I have been meaning to go to dental Sick Call because I thought I could feel a cavity, and I have had a chipped tooth since Kuwait. I chipped it on a twizzler, now that is talent!! So while I was munching on some jellybeans this morning, big thanks to Saybrook United Methodist church. They sent me Jolly Rancher jelly beans – YUM!! So any way there was a crunchy bit in one of the jelly beans so I dug it out – I know, yummy… And it looked rather like dental cement, I felt around my mouth and I found a hole. Boo. So I announced that I was going to dental sick call as one of my fillings had fallen out. Now I have an appointment at 1130 to get it drilled and filled. This time the dentist will put a silver filling in. But I have an opportunity to get a coin in exchange for the Mine Action Center Patch that I wear (I will try to get a picture of it posted later).
In other news I have really started to do PT on a scheduled basis. The other day the two Majors ganged up on me and asked how my running was going? I said that it went, twice… So now I am going to the Aerobics class on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, when I don’t have duty. I am also going to try to get some walking in on the days I don’t do Aerobics because walking helps me shed inches.
This place is worse than Houston as far as flooding goes! Luckily though the flooding is scattered enough that the porta-pottie sucker trucks can eliminate some of the more inconvenient small flooded areas. Like the pond in front of the female latrine: insert picture here - the wireless here sucks >(
