DATE NIGHT

Saturday was another lazy day.  I actually slept till about 10:00 a.m.  I almost never do that.  And I did practically nothing all day.  I meant to.  I wanted to.  But I kept falling back to sleep.

I guess the main reason was that I had the first part of my root canal done on Thursday.  The anesthesia lasted for 6 hours.  I was feeling no pain.  And then it hit.  I have been on pain killers ever since and they make me drowsy.   Pain or sleep?  I've been choosing sleep.

By tonight I was going a little stir crazy.  Joe and I had talked about having a "date night" since we haven't had one in quite awhile.  I had a gift certificate for IHOP, so we decided to go there for dinner.

Joe had french toast and I had pot roast.  Well, I had half of the pot roast and that was all I could eat before the pain got too bad.  I was going to have crepes, but I was hungry and I thought I could handle it.  The mashed potatoes and garlic bread were OK, and I got a lot of the meat down, but that was it.  It wasn't wasted, though, because Joe very helpfully finished it for me.

When we came out I looked up and the sky was beautiful.  I had to get a couple of shots.

 

I could have gotten even better pictures when I was driving, but driving and picture taking really aren't compatible.

When we left IHOP we went to Rite Aid.  I had forgotten to get a couple of things when I was there the other day and it was on the way home, so we just popped in.  This particular Rite Aid is huge.  I stop in quite a bit during my dinner hour since it isn't too far from work.  I introduced Joe to the $1 aisle.  It is so hard to resist things in there.

Next we needed a few things in Shop Rite so went there.  I said to Joe, "This is some date you are taking me on."  But we got what we needed and went home.

My tooth was KILLING me by now.  I went to get my Tylenol which is what has been helping me the most and it was not where I left it.  I have looked all over this house and it is no where to be found.  So we went out again (at 10:00 p.m.) to look for a place still open to buy it.  We ended up back at Shop Rite and got it there.  After I take it, it takes about a half hour to work and then it's OK for about four hours.  What a relief.  I took aspirin when I couldn't find the Tylenol and it didn't even touch the pain (although it took the swelling down some).  I am going to call the dentist on Monday because it is not supposed to be hurting like this.

So as soon as I got home I took the Tylenol, petted Jenny who was on her favorite perch on the back of the recliner...

 

... and headed for bed.

 I woke up at 6:30 a.m. this morning and couldn't go back to sleep, so I got up.  I've been watching season one of the new "Upstairs Downstairs".  I have to take it back to the library tomorrow.  Now it is almost 8:30 a.m. so I will get Joe up for church.  I don't think I am going today.  My tooth/jaw is really bothering me.  I almost never miss church, but there is always the time I am sick.

Hopefully later today I will get out in the yard and give you a Sunday Garden post.  Although there really isn't much out there to take pictures of these days.

Until later...
